Istanbul food guide. 30+ places with some amazing local food, coffee, and tea.

Main —

In this guide, I have gathered all my favorite places in Istanbul that I discovered during almost a year of living here. Some of these places were shown to me by my Istanbul friends, while others I stumbled upon by chance.

I really love Istanbul because there is food for all categories of people here. I belong to those who prefer to take a sandwich and have a snack on the curb, or get their food in a couple of minutes and have a snack at a small table in front of the shop.

What you will find here —

• Reasonably priced places
• A location that's easy to get to
• A chill vibe places
• Delicious food and drinks
• Breakfast
• Best traditional coffee (espresso, filter, cappuccino)

For who —

Who doesn't like to spend several hours in restaurants just to satisfy their hunger, for those who want to eat quickly and deliciously, both local food and have a cup of amazing cappuccino, as it's not a traditional drink in Istanbul, finding a good place is difficult.

For why —

If you're tired of tourist food and want to experience a bit of the local culture without overpaying crazy amounts of money, you may want to try a simple service without any frills, just to make your experience easy and comfortable.
