Description

Discover Istanbul’s authentic flavors in Kadıköy. Explore markets and hidden eateries with a local guide while tasting real Turkish street food away from tourist crowds.
Step into the real Istanbul with a food tour through Kadıköy, the heart of the city’s Asian side. Begin your journey with a burst of flavor at a pickle shop where locals sip tangy turşu suyu (pickle juice). Next, taste a freshly grilled fish sandwich at the market, followed by spicy vegetarian çiğ köfte wrapped in soft flatbread.

Continue to one of Istanbul’s most beloved street food spots for stuffed mussels (midye dolma) and smoky kokoreç, a bold local favorite made from grilled lamb offal. Then, try the legendary “wet burger,” soaked in garlicky tomato sauce and packed with flavor.

Your tour ends on a sweet note with sambali, a syrup-soaked semolina cake at a historical confectionery. Along the way, your local guide will share stories, food traditions, and fun cultural facts that bring the city to life.

This small-group tour is ideal for curious foodies looking to discover the real Istanbul—away from tourist traps and full of local flavor. Generous tastings are included at every stop, and vegetarian options are available upon request.
