One Bite at a time…

The story of this intimate Turkish tapas and wine bar began ten years ago when the Bolukbasi brothers opened Mezè in Adams Morgan. Shortly after its opening Mezè became a neighborhood favorite as a spot for authentic Turkish cuisine and lively entrainment. Mezè’s success and loyal customers inspired the Bolukbasi brothers to open a new venture in the Capital city.

The answer was not too far from Mezè in Dupont Circle. Dupont has always been an area focused on food, friendly atmosphere and healthier living. At Ezmè, our customers will taste this combined experience one bite at a time.

Yavuz and Yavuz Bolukbasi with Ezme's manager Batu.

Upon visiting my newest venture, you will have the chance to taste the work that I have put into perfecting Turkish cuisine.

I have spent the past 15 years researching  regional Turkish cuisine in order to personalize Ezmè’s menu. Having begun my professional career almost two decades ago, I have enjoyed cooking from a young age.  My mother, an experienced cook, has helped me to build my repertoire over the years and many of her recipes can be found right here at Ezmè in Dupont Circle.

I have been building new bridges in gastronomy between modern cooking and old style recipes and  I am excited to have the opportunity to share my newest creations with you at Ezmè.
