There’s a plate with your name on it, waiting to be devoured, in the gastronomical wonderland that is Turkey. From everyday local delicacies like kebabs to historic Ottoman preparations and desserts that are indulgent in sugar and spices too! Then there’s the amazingly fresh seafood and other local produce that Turkish food culture includes. So, here’s a list of where to eat in Turkey that can give you a taste of all regions and special dishes that the country has to offer.
An Istanbul institution, Hünkar is one Turkish restaurant you mustn’t miss. The café-like interiors will make you feel right at home and the incredibly flavourful dishes like köfte or meatballs and eggplant preparations will give you a true taste of Turkish food.
Rooftop meals are customary in Istanbul, which is why Borsa makes this list of places to eat in Turkey. The atmosphere is a throwback to the era in which it first began, the 1920s. And the food is just as classic. You must sample the two hallmark dishes, the stuffed vine leaves and roasted lamb with eggplant.
If you’re wondering what to eat in Turkey while staying in Bodrum, seafood is the top choice. At Orfoz, you will always taste the ocean on your plate — even if you order something vegetarian! It all goes down well with house white wine.
When it Fethiye, make your way to Hilmi, a Turkish restaurant serving up some of the freshest seafood in all the country, right by the lively Fish Market. From mezes to mains, your taste buds will be thrilled with the array of catch they serve up.
There’re many more eateries all around the country for you to have great dining experiences. You can go from fine-dining to kebabs by the beach or traditional sweet shops. There’s no better way to get a feel of a country than exploring its culinary heritage, especially one as ancient as Turkey. So, what are you waiting for?
