    An edible love letter to Istanbul.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An outstanding walking food tour and a perfect introduction to Istanbul’s culinary soul. From the punchy, addictive flavours at Meşhur Çiğköfteci Ali Usta, to the artistry and sweetness of LOKUM Atölyesi, every stop felt thoughtfully chosen and deeply authentic. The finale at Siirt Şeref Büryan was simply unforgettable - a truly beautiful restaurant serving extraordinary food, and a fitting end to an exceptional experience. Each dish felt like a wonderfully delicious slice of Turkish cuisine, rich in flavour, tradition and generosity. Our guide, Eylül, was perfect in every way (her eyes lit up when she pronounced my name 🥺) - she was knowledgeable, warm, engaging and effortlessly professional. Eylül brought the food and the city to life. The group dynamic was also fantastic, making the whole experience relaxed, social and great fun. Highly recommended - a must-do in Istanbul for anyone who loves food, culture and genuine local experiences. Ciaran, UK

    Enjoyable relaxing food tour

    Very good experience due to the enthusiasm from our guide Eylul as well as knowledge. Lovely food and was full at the end even though we could have had more if we could have had the room for it.

    Amazing local guide

    Amazing culinary experience led by a lovely lady. Zeynep took great care of the group, engaged all, and prepared us for each part of the trip. The tour was very well organised. Super clear meeting point, great transfer between locations. Close to the Train Gar, we ventured for the street food, the raw meatball (not actual meat) was surprising, and a burst of flavour. Then off to a sweet experience. Zey explained about the different types of Turkish delight and we got to have a taste. The next stop was the rooftop. Fantastic views!! Despide the weather we were able to take pictures with the city light iluminating the mosques, Galata tower and the bridges. We warmed up with Çay and learned more about the Turkish culture for guests and courtship. Then the restaurant, Siirt Şeref Buryan 1892 was very impressive. The service was impecable and as they were waiting for us and had our orders the wait was minimal. Stand out favourites were the salad and the Perde Pilavi. Then we finished with Çay and Knefe. What a fantastic meal. Highly recommend

    Authentic Turkish Dining in a 140 Years Old Local Restaurant: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.

    How much does Authentic Turkish Dining in a 140 Years Old Local Restaurant cost?

    +

    Prices start at $57 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Istanbul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Authentic Turkish Dining in a 140 Years Old Local Restaurant take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Istanbul is not rushed.

    Is Authentic Turkish Dining in a 140 Years Old Local Restaurant worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Istanbul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Authentic Turkish Dining in a 140 Years Old Local Restaurant?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Authentic Turkish Dining in a 140 Years Old Local Restaurant suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Authentic Turkish Dining in a 140 Years Old Local Restaurant?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Istanbul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Istanbul and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Authentic Turkish Dining in a 140 Years Old Local Restaurant start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Istanbul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Istanbul?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Istanbul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour, Istanbul Luxury Bosphorus Yacht Cruise with Asian Side Stop, ISTANBUL BEST: Iconic Landmarks Full Day PRIVATE Guided City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Istanbul?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Istanbul?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
