Experience
Full description
Your culinary journey begins with a refreshing homemade peach mocktail, setting the stage for the plates to come. This is not just a dinner; it is a story of Anatolian heritage, told through a progression of seven exquisite courses designed and personally introduced by Chef Mehdi Ercan.
You will explore the depth of Turkish ingredients, starting with the simple elegance of homemade butter and ancient einkorn wheat bread. From there, the menu unfolds with innovative creations like cherry-leaf sarma with a delicate yoghurt foam and a seasonal fish mosaic brightened with anise.
Experience the soul of Anatolian comfort with a rich, braised beef "keşkek," followed by a masterfully modernized Turkish baklava that challenges expectations.
Throughout the evening, engage in conversation with the chef, learning the secrets behind each dish and the traditions that inspire them.
The experience culminates in a classic Turkish ritual: perfectly brewed Turkish coffee served alongside delicate Turkish Delight petit fours.
You will leave not just satisfied, but with a new appreciation for the artistry of modern Turkish cuisine and a memory of a truly special Istanbul evening.

This perfume workshop was an unforgettable experience and my mom and I had an amazing time! Ali was great at instructing and helping us and is very knowledgeable about the perfume industry. It was so nice to be able to make our own signature perfume and I am always reminded of İstanbul every time I wear it. Don’t hesitate to try this workshop!
