| Turkish cuisine maintains a place of great importance among the cuisines of the world. Indeed, the fame of Turkish dishes, whose flavors are unparalleled, is known throughout the world.
To visit Istanbul without eating döner is unthinkable!
Döner, which has been a crucial part of Turkish cuisine since the second half of the 19th century, is a type of kebab prepared with lamb, which is turned and roasted on a spit over a coal fire. In addition to red meat, döner made with sausage and chicken is also widely consumed.
While different types of döner are typically served on a plate over rice, döner is also sold with pide (long bread) and as dürüm (wrap). The most famous way of döner is probably the İskender Kebab in which döner is combined with a tomato sauce and butter, and served with yoghurt.
Eating fish on the Bosphorus is superb!
Turkey’s sophisticated culinary culture involving fish, stems from the fact that the country is surrounded by seas on three sides. The Bosphorus is a particular fishing ground in Turkey, where many different species of fish, with substantially different flavors are caught. For this reason, the area of Istanbul that is most associated with seafood is Boğaziçi. You can sample both seasonal fish and seafood mezes at any restaurants that are found all along the Bosphorus, on both the European and the Asian Side.
