Bite Me, Istanbul: The Ultimate Foodie’s Guide to Eating Like a Local
Introduction
Ever since Can and I got together, Istanbul and food have been the centre point of our relationship which brought us closer together. There almost isn’t anywhere that we haven’t gone in Istanbul and our first date was actually him giving me a food tour! In the last five years of being in the most beautiful city in the world - we’ve had our best moments around food. And since we’re both very critical about quality, taste, vibes, and service - rest assured that this food guide takes you to only the best.
Midye Dolma - Stuffed Mussel
Oooh, let’s start with my personal favourite! I thought I was going to eat something fancy since mussels are usually sold at fancy restaurants, but Can told me they sell stuffed mussels here as street food, and you can find sellers lined up on the streets! The mussels are filled with a variety of flavoured rice from curry to spicy and of course with the vendor’s own “special sauce” flavour!
