✅ Street food in Istanbul: what to try + places where I ate:
1️⃣ Kumpir. Turkish baked potatoes with butter, cheese and salad filling. Kumpir is worth trying in Istanbul's Ortakoy district (it is convenient to get from the center by ferry - a ticket with the Istanbul Card will cost you only 3.5 lira). Kumpir costs 30 lire. Place on the map - goo.gl/maps/EZUQQnUzNLEGMyzB9
2️⃣ Balik ekmek. Fish in bread is a popular Turkish street food. It is also worth trying balyk-durum - the same fish, but in lavash. Shop anywhere at Galata Bridge. Good price - 20 liras.
3️⃣ Kebab. Döner kebab - almost like our pita shawarma; Adana kebab - kebab with minced meat sausage fried over charcoal; Shish - with barbecue. The best kebab in Istanbul is prepared at Sehzade Cag Kebap. Try it with ayran! Kebab price - 30 liras. Location on the map - g.page/sehzadecagkebap
4️⃣ Pide. Turkish pizza in the form of a boat filled with cheese, meat, vegetables, sausages, etc. I advise you to take the "mix pide" to try the platter. I ate at the Ziya Sark Sofrasi diner (included in the TOP 20 best restaurants in Istanbul according to Tripadvisor). Location on the map - g.page/ziyasark
5️⃣ Champignons with cheese. This street food in Istanbul can be tasted in almost every restaurant. Mushrooms are served in a skillet under a thick layer of traditional Turkish cheese.
6️⃣ Kokorec. The lamb intestine is stuffed with giblets, fried on a spit until golden brown, chopped, sprinkled and served in bread. Try it at Gala Kokorec, a fast food chain in Istanbul. A portion like mine (half a loaf) costs 12 liras.
7️⃣ Dondurma. Turkish viscous ice cream made from goat or cow milk. I tried it on Istiklal Street - there are the most active sellers here. A portion like mine costs 30 liras.
8️⃣ Irmik Helvasi. Semolina halva with ice cream. I tried at Afyon Lokum Atölyesi. A serving of 230 grams - 10 lire. You can find it in other places too.
9️⃣ Baklava. Try Turkish sweets at Safa, Istanbul's famous pastry chain (type in a name - you will find a café closest to you). In the video I have Havuç Dilim Baklava and Fıstıklı Burma Kadayıf. It is also worth trying katmer and künefe.
🔟 Simit. Turkish bagel in sesame. Buy in mobile shopping carts anywhere in Istanbul. Prices: simple - 2.5 lira, with cheese or chocolate - 7.
