Join us on a mouthwatering tour through Istanbul as we savor the very best of Turkish cuisine! We'll taste our way through the must-see parts of the city center.

Tour Details

Embark on a culinary journey through Istanbul, starting at Kadikoy Square. With our guide, we'll explore cafés, restaurants, and street food stalls offering a variety of Turkish delights.

In the Kadikoy neighborhood, we'll sip on Aryan, a yogurt drink, and taste pickle juice for its intense flavor. We will then savor a fish sandwich (known as balik ekmek) or dolmas, followed by cig köfte, a meat dish with pomegranate sauce.

The tour continues with the famous islak burger, a Turkish-style hamburger, and kokorec, traditional lamb sandwiches. We will also try gözleme, a stuffed Turkish dough. Ending on a sweet note, we'll sample sambali, a dessert for those with a sweet tooth!

After 2 hours, we will conclude the tour with satisfied appetites.

Vegetarians

The vegetarian option features lentil soup, börek (savory pastry), mücver (zucchini pancakes), and pilaki (cold legume stew). There will also be the vegetarian version of ci? köfte and sarma (cabbage leaves stuffed with rice).

For dessert, we’ll have semolina cake made with yogurt and flavored syrup, and tur?u (fermented pickle juice) to aid digestion.
