What You’ll Experience

Simit Sarayı Kadıköy Square

Kick off your morning or afternoon walk in the lively, bustling streets of Kadıköy with Turkey’s ultimate comfort breakfast staple. Step up to the counter to enjoy freshly baked, golden-brown Simit—a ring-shaped bread coated in toasted sesame seeds with a perfectly crisp crust and chewy interior. Your guide will show you how locals eat it: paired with rich, salty Turkish cheese and briny black and green olives. As you enjoy this warm, satisfying street snack, learn how simit sellers have been an integral part of Istanbul’s daily rhythm and street food culture for over five centuries.

Ozcan famous pickle

Step into a vibrant piece of Kadıköy history at Özcan Turşu, an iconic family-run pickle shop that has been naturally fermenting seasonal produce since 1935. Surrounded by colorful glass jars filled with everything from plum to garlic, try a glass of traditional Turşu Suyu—a tangy, glowing-purple fermented pickle juice served with crunchy, herbed pickled vegetables. Highly prized by locals for its restorative properties and gut-health benefits, this bold, warming drink offers a invigorating taste of authentic Turkish food preservation traditions.

Çiya Sofrası

Visit Çiya Sofrası, a internationally acclaimed culinary sanctuary dedicated to preserving forgotten Anatolian recipes. Sit down to savor Barbunya Pilaki, a classic olive oil dish (zeytinyağlı) perfect for autumn dining. Tender cranberry beans are slow-simmered with sweet carrots, onions, garlic, tomato, and fresh herbs in extra virgin olive oil, then served warm or at room temperature with a drizzle of lemon. Your guide will share the story of Chef Musa Dağdeviren and how this legendary restaurant collects regional home-style recipes from across Anatolia.
