Dining in Istanbul
The Turkish cuisine, which is one of the richest
in the world, appeals to the eye as well as the
palate. Turkish food that is found today in
Istanbul is truly a living synthesis of Eastern
and Western cultures. In addition to the many
restaurants that serve traditional and
international menus to satisfy the varied tastes
of their guests, many nightclubs, cafes and bars
offer fine menus along with a wide range of
entertainment choices.
Kebab is a typical South Eastern Turkish food. It
is a kind of a food group which means; meat down
wit charcoal or wood fire. The recepies can be
with vegetables or very hot pepper, again
depending on the region. Raki is a traditional
alcoholic beverage made wit anise and grapes. It
is called "Lion's Milk" by the locals, so give
this combination a try in one of the many kebab
houses in Istanbul. You may finalize this feast,
with the unique taste of Turkish coffee.
"Afiyet olsun" (Good Apetite).
