Experience Turkey
Gastronomy
From a lavish Van breakfast to kebabs, baklava and Turkish coffee – Turkish cuisine is one of the great pleasures of travel.
Turkish cuisine blends the legacy of the Ottoman palace kitchen with the regional traditions of Anatolia, the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Every region has its own specialities, and meals are shared slowly, with conversation and the inevitable glass of tea.
Flavours worth trying
- Van breakfast – a generous spread of cheeses, honey, kaymak cream, olives and fresh bread.
- Testi kebab – a Cappadocian speciality cooked in a clay pot that is broken open at the table.
- Meze – a parade of small dishes made with vegetables, yoghurt and olive oil.
- Baklava and Turkish delight – the sweet symbols of Turkish cuisine.
- Turkish coffee – a tradition inscribed on UNESCO’s list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
On our journeys we choose restaurants serving local cuisine and happily recommend the places where locals themselves eat.
