Gourmet Food Tour in Istanbul
Discover the rich and varied culinary scene of Istanbul. Start the day visiting a bustling market, then head to a top-rated street food stand, and finally, end the day with a sunset dinner at a rooftop restaurant.
- Your gourmet tour begins in the heart of Istanbul, at the Spice Bazaar. Get lost in the vibrant colors and tempting aromas of this bustling market, where you can sample a variety of delicious Turkish treats.
- After your market visit, you continue your culinary journey through the busy streets of Istanbul, sampling an array of mouth-watering street food, such as succulent lamb kebabs, tantalizing simit, delicious baklava, and much more.
- As the sun begins to set, you make your way to a cozy rooftop restaurant. Here, you can enjoy a sumptuous Turkish meal with a view of the magnificent Istiklal Street. Delight in traditional dishes, such as Manti and Lahmacun, while basking in the warm glow of the setting sun.
Preparation steps:
- Get an early start to your day, as markets in Istanbul tend to open early and you want to beat the lunchtime rush. Wear comfortable shoes for walking and bring a bottle of water to keep hydrated.
- Brush up your haggling skills for the market visit. Vendors are usually open to some light-hearted negotiation, and you might find yourself getting a much better deal. Don't forget to bring cash, as many of the smaller stalls may not accept card payments.
- Make sure to check the weather forecast in advance. Even though November is relatively mild in Istanbul, you may want to bring a light jacket for the evening.
