Overview

On this small-group food tour, you'll get to explore Turkish food culture and taste local delicacies in Istanbul's both European and Asian side. You'll start the tour with a traditional Turkish breakfast including simit, menemen, olives, local cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers and all kinds of pastries. Next, you'll hop on a ferry and get to Kadıköy on the Asian side. Here, you'll have the chance to visit some of the best restaurants and food markets to taste many more traditional dishes.

Highlights will include Iskender Kebab (doner kebab with yoghurt and tomato sauce), içli köfte (covered meatball), pide (flat bread with ground meat and vegetables filling) and a famous Turkish dessert, Baklava (layered pastry dessert filled with pistachio or nuts.) Throughout the tour, your guide will share invaluable insights into Turkish cuisine and local food culture.

Activity itinerary

Eminönü
  • 1h
Turks love eating and since a traditional Turkish breakfast is the ultimate way to start the day, our food journey starts browsing and gathering our local bites from the specialty breakfast shops. We will taste and get a bit of everything, from iconic street food Simit to pastries. A proper Turkish breakfast cannot be contemplated without cheese. Like cheese, a Turkish breakfast without olives is considered incomplete. Menemen is a Turkish breakfast classic made with scrambled eggs, red and green peppers, tomatoes, and onions. So we choose and prepare our own spread, filled with anything your heart desires.
