Food

The Turkish cuisine, which is one of the richest in the world, appeals to the eye as well as the palate. Turkish food that is found today in Istanbul is truly a living synthesis of Eastern and Western cultures. In addition to the many restaurants that serve traditional and international menus to satisfy the varied tastes of their guests, many nightclubs, cafes and bars offer fine menus along with a wide range of entertainment choices.


Kebab is a typical South Eastern Turkish food. It is a kind of a food group which means; meat down wit charcoal or wood fire. The recepies can be with vegetables or very hot pepper, again depending on the region. Raki is a traditional alcoholic beverage made wit anise and grapes. It is called “Lion’s Milk” by the locals, so give this combination a try in one of the many kebab houses in Istanbul.

You may finalize this feast, with the unique taste of Turkish coffee.

“Afiyet olsun” (Good Apetite).
