Excellent tour of Istanbul - Deniz does a magnificent job walking you through the ins and outs of Turkish food on this half day tour. Her knowledge is limitless as is her enthusiasm! She is clearly passionate about sharing what the city has to offer, its culinary history and can go into a level of detail that even food geeks will appreciate. She is also very accessible, so if you're not a hard core foodie, you will still find her and the food choices very engaging. I highly recommend her and this company!

A superb introduction to the best of traditional Turkish cuisine. - We chose the Kadikoy tour because of its close proximity to the ferry terminal and the several restaurants we would be visiting in the market area. We chose "Edible Istanbul" over other food tours because of our excellent experience with its sister location, "Paris by Mouth." As foodies and experienced cooks, we could not have been more pleased with the tour. Richard, a trained chef and professional culinary consultant, met us at the ferry terminal, explained the various ingredients of traditional Turkish foods as he slowly walked us through the market, then ordered several dishes at restaurants that excel in each type or region. Tip: Taste – don't try to finish – every dish; you will have several stops and will want to leave room to try the several desserts. Richard was very informative on general Turkish culture as well, quickly making us comfortable on our first full day in the very large city of Istanbul. We were impressed with the long list of restaurants Richard recommended in the neighborhoods we would be visiting in the coming days, telling us what each restaurant was noted for. We found his recommendations to be excellent.

Vegan Oasis in Kadikoy Istanbul - Extremely quiet oasis courtyard, with the friendliest house cat. Delicious food, friendly owners and staff. My number in Istanbul after trying 8 other places.
