The ancient capital of the Ottoman Empire annually attracts many tourists. Of course, everyone wish to see ancient attractions and ride on the Bosphorus. But Istanbul is known not only to this. After all, everyone will agree to having been in an unfamiliar country, a tourist takes care of any positive impressions of the beauty of the country or city, but also the memories of those dishes that he tried. After all, the national food gives the integrity of the perception of everything seen and felt. And from Istanbul rarely who can leave disgruntled food. After all, the Turkish food is known to all of the world and even from pure curiosity it is interesting to try. I would not say that the food is cheap there. Istanbul is known that there are cheap clothes and expensive food. But it is worth it. How much money to take with themselves on food everyone decides himself. After all, in this city you can eat in expensive restaurants and just on the street. This is each decides himself. For children there, too, you can find a lot of delicious meals and even the most capricious child in this city can choose a dish to your liking. And many for all their lives remember Istanbul food.
Street food in Istanbul
In Istanbul, rarely who can avoid the temptation to eat on the street. Seducting smells wind brings constantly.
Chestnuts and corn
Fried chestnuts and corn are usually sold on one tray.Chestnuts are sold on the weight and 100 grams cost 3 lira, and one of the corn, depending on the size costs from 1 to 2 lire. These two non-slipping products smell very tasty and so I want to try them.
Bagels
Such delicious bagels as in Istanbul did not eat anywhere. They are usually sold in red trays and stand 1 lira per piece. The only thing, it is necessary to take into account that there are them necessary as quickly as possible after the purchase, as they quickly worry. Bagels are two species - thick and thin. Turks usually pick them up coffee. I am very advised to try these bagels. I tried to cook according to the recipe, but it turned out at all. In Istanbul exclusive.
A fish
In Turkish, this dish is called Balyk Ve Emek.It is usually for sale on the pier with ships. Fish and bread sandwiches are made with striking speed. Despite the fact that there are always a lot of want to taste this dish, there are no turns and no one long remains hungry. This fish is only five lire. But believe me, it is very tasty. Can be powered by water or juice. Next to these ships are the tables and chairs of children's sizes and everyone sit and eat on them. By the way, I noticed that in many Istanbul cafes, furniture of such dimensions. And this is also a kind of feature of Istanbul.
Kumpir
This is another very tasty outdoor eating option.I bought this dish on the waterfront for 10 lire and in my opinion the price for it is the same everywhere. This is nothing like baked potatoes with different fillings. Filling almost all vegetables and very tasty with special seasonings. Kumpir is a very satisfying dish and even one can fit well.
Cutlets
The Turks call them Ichle Köfte.
I tried exactly the same in Arab countries and I myself can cook. I want to say that the Turkish version is very tasty because they have a very tasty and well-fried crust. I recommend trying Köfte. In Arabic version it sounds like a kufta.
Mussels
The price of this dish is 1 lira per piece.
Inside each mussel already has rice and the seller simply watering her lemon juice. This food is on an amateur, I did not really like it. Although many tourists eat and praise this delicacy.
Ice cream
Turks call him donadurma.
Turkish sellers arrange a whole show and want to say that in the cost of this delicacy more than half is the work of the seller. Turkish ice cream is very solid and all the shows are based on this that his seller drops the waffle horn and immediately catches it. In my opinion, the price of this ice cream is overestimated and it depends on the size of the waffle horn, from 3 to 6 lir. When I once walked this ice cream with different tastes, then the view of the sellers dressed in a special costume began to annoy. By the way, I saw similar Latol at Ataturk Airport. Only there the price for the same ice cream is three times higher.
Juices
Freshly squeezed juices in large quantities are sold near the bazaars and on the waterfront. There are juices depending on the volume of glass from 1 to 5 lir. Juices are quite tasty and there is a large selection of fruits and vegetables. Make them very quickly and very nice to drink such delicious juices.
Cafes and restaurants
In Istanbul, a very large selection of a variety of cafes and restaurants. There are very small, where you can eat very tasty and inexpensive. And there are also elegant restaurants with exclusive dishes and live music. I really liked the cafe on the Galact Bridge. Everyone is prepared and bring just lightning. And such as dishes from simple ingredients, and everything is very tasty and beautiful. I also really liked confectionery, where a huge selection of sweets. All this can be written there tea or coffee. Alone of the Pahlava with honey and pistachios worth. There is just a paradise for sweet lovers
But I want to say that, of course, it is very nice to sit in a good coffee shop and eat delicious oriental sweets, but they are three times cheaper in any supareter. Not all, but many types of sweets can be used there. When I saw there prices there, I bought myself just two days ahead and with pleasure it was all this in the hotel. And a very tasty bowum is sold on the market, there it is also fresh and cheap.
In general, this is one of the cheapest food options in Istanbul. It is in stores that the lowest prices for food and even a budget tourist will receive a delicious and cheap food.
But in Istanbul only a few ride to save and few people want to refuse themselves to visit a good restaurant. Most of all I remember the restaurant in the Galat Tower, where it is necessary to climb the bodice. There are still nice to be in the taste sensations. But, of course, prices there are quite consistent with the institution. And there are a large selection of such places in Istanbul and eyes are simply scattered from the dishes. After all, Turkish cuisine is actually very tasty. I noticed that only men work in Istanbul in the field of catering. Maybe this lies the secret of delicious cuisine and women would not happen there?
