Istanbul Food Tour

Join us on a tour through Istanbul to experience the best of Turkish cuisine while visiting key parts of the city center.

Tour Details

We will meet at Kadidoy Square at the scheduled time. The guide will lead us to cafés, restaurants, and street food stalls to enjoy Turkish delights.

In the Kadikoy neighborhood, we will sip local drinks while sampling Aryan, a yogurt drink, and contrasting it with pickle juice. We’ll walk along busy streets, where we can enjoy a fish sandwich (known as balik ekmek) or dolmas. We’ll then taste cig köfte, red meat served with a pomegranate sauce.

The route includes a famous islak burger, followed by kokorec, traditional lamb sandwiches. We will also try gözleme, dough filled with spinach and feta cheese. For dessert, we will sample sambali, a sweet treat. This food tour lasts 2 hours.
