Istanbul, Türkiye – Welcome to Istanbul, one of the most fascinating, historical, and delicious cities in the world. Today I’ll be taking you on an ultimate Turkish street food tour in Istanbul – you can expect some iconic street foods and some unseen surprises!
Here are the places we ate in this tour:
📍Galata Simitçisi (https://maps.app.goo.gl/21CJNCCZZ4FMSB9YA) – You can’t come to Istanbul without trying simit, a common ring shaped bread that you’ll find at bakeries and street food carts throughout the city.
📍Çiğ Köfteci Seyfettin Usta (https://maps.app.goo.gl/u6i4Fj4LEpNRhZSJA) – One of my absolute favorite Turkish foods is Çiğ Köfte, that includes raw meat, bulgur, and lots of spices.
📍Dürümcü Raif Usta (https://maps.app.goo.gl/xkrWpGzZeSoByJQCA) – Turkey is the king of kebabs and a durum is a grilled kebab served wrapped in bread so it’s often fast and on the go.
📍Tarihi Eminönü Derya Balıkçısı 1945 (https://maps.app.goo.gl/qq2h2opz347XSv3v8) – Probably the most iconic of all Turkish street foods in Istanbul is the balik ekmek, a grilled fish sandwich still served on a boat on the Golden Horn.
📍Beşaltı Kirvem Tantuni (https://maps.app.goo.gl/Sbf1E4iCwXEg1wB97) – It’s hard to find anything tastier than tantuni!
📍Tekrartekrarr Bay Köfte (https://maps.app.goo.gl/GkhSxeCbeQyJWP6z6) – This was something totally unique and that I’d never seen before, an ultimate cheese overdose, and so good!
📍Sokak pilavcısı (https://maps.app.goo.gl/sKCn3GwgLJFa72q2A) – Another popular Istanbul street food is rice and chickpeas with shredded chicken, and you’ll find it all over the city.
📍Midyeci Erkan (https://maps.app.goo.gl/bfvrVjSiiwJdkAne8) – If you love mussels, midye dolma are a dream come true. They go down so easily and are so addictive!
Istanbul is a street food paradise, and I hope this video will give you some ideas for what to eat when you’re there!
