Eating in Turkey

Turkish food is easier to navigate when you know what each kind of eatery does. A kebapçı, a home-style restaurant and a fish restaurant offer quite different meals.

Eating in Turkey

Why go

Kebapçı menus focus on grilled meat, while a dönerci is useful for a quick döner meal. Home-style places often show prepared dishes, making vegetable and olive-oil options easier to spot. Around the Aegean, greens and olive oil feature prominently; a fish meal may begin with several meze plates.

Useful to know

  • Look at the displayed dishes in a home-style restaurant before ordering.
  • Ask what is in a vegetable dish if you avoid meat; names alone may not tell the whole story.
  • Order a dürüm when you want a wrapped kebab rather than a plated one.
