Eat Like a Local – Istanbul Street Food Night Tour
Experience Istanbul through its flavors on this unforgettable night food journey. This tour takes you beyond classic restaurants and into the heart of local life, where street food, traditional drinks, and authentic tastes define the city’s culture.
Starting from Taksim Square, you will explore a carefully selected route filled with iconic Turkish flavors. From freshly baked simit and traditional tea to durum (wrap) kebap and spicy cig kofte, every stop introduces you to a different side of Istanbul’s rich culinary identity.
As the night continues, discover some of the most authentic local tastes such as kokorec and stuffed mussels, followed by a classic meyhane experience at Cicek Pasaji with Turkish raki and traditional snacks. The journey continues with a warm bowl of Turkish soup, a beloved late-night tradition among locals.
To complete the experience, enjoy a sweet stop with halka dessert and finish your night with Turkish coffee or tea, just like locals do.
