WHERE TO EAT IN ISTANBUL?

By Bery istanbul Tips

In Istanbul we can find many options to enjoy a good meal, especially traditional dishes of the country.

In general, food in Turkey is quite affordable and the portions are large.

Here we can also find international fast food restaurant chains, but let me tell you that at least in Turkey, you can eat a typical meal here for almost the same price.

That is why we invite you to instead of eating in those international fast-food restaurants, you better keep an eye on Turkish restaurants so that you can also experience the gastronomy that is one of the best in the world.

Also remember that all restaurants located in the most touristic areas of the city have much higher prices and may charge an extra 10-20% for service. Some of our favorite areas for a foodie tour are Kadıköy on the Asian side and Beşiktaş in the European side, both very local areas and with more affordable prices.

"Well written. She gives a wide range of options for all types of foods, for all types of budgets. It is worth the money."

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Do you want to explore Türkiye (Turkey) LIKE A LOCAL? Then you're in the correct place! I'm a Mexican living in Istanbul for the past 8 years. Me and my husband who was born and raised in Istanbul and is a licensed tour guide in Turkiye we both love exploring the country and share everything through our social media and guides with our amazing audience. What makes us way different is that you’ll never see us recommending ultra popular spots that have become “trendy” thanks to TikTok or Instagram because more likely they are just tourist traps and you’ll end up dissapointed either for the bad quality of the services, prices, etc, instead, we show you the city and country in a much more authentic way, from a LOCAL eye, in a way that surely you’ll remember forever. In addition to that, we also give you our little secrets that most don’t know about, we go deeper into detail and that I, of course, have learnt throughout these years of living here and experiencing every corner of the city, and tricks that also my Istanbulite husband have thought me. So, are you ready to explore the city in an authentic way? If so, our guides and itineraries are tailored exactly for that, and trust me, they’ll save you MONTHS and MONTHS of research and stress! Everything you need for an Istanbul trip is compiled here, It took me almost a year to put everything together for you, and my ebooks that became BEST SELLERS almost right away after launching them in February of 2022, now I share them here with the platform’s format, they have been very welcomed by my audience and have made a huge impact when planning their trips to Istanbul. What are you waiting for? Our guides are just a click away!
