Just came back from a 3-day trip to Istanbul.
It was a blast! đ„ Fatih Tutakâs hospitality was extraordinary and his food ROCKS!
Turk Fatih Tutak is a restaurant that embodies the journey of chef owner Fatih Tutak and that of Turkey itself. Through a clear understanding of the beautiful Turkish produce and in-depth research of historical and traditional cooking techniques, Fatih is able to create dishes with playful imagination; this brings together East and West, the past and the possibility of the future, reflecting the exciting duality that is Turkey and its culinary culture.
Working closely with farmers, fishermen, and spice dealers TURK weaves a story through the food - âA dish must touch the heart...â Fatih explains, â...so we must respect that and leave alone those that everyone has eaten since childhood. That means we must start from scratch - in a way - to focus in on the ingredients themselves and to look at the new techniques we have now, as well as reference the old ones and create something unique to ourselves.â
Here are some highlights: Turkish breakfast at Fatihâs vegetable supplierâs farm
ferry trip to Anatolian side âfeeding the birdsâ,
KadikĆy fish market, Spice bazaar, Hamam, dinner a traditional kebab place Adana Ocakbasi Kurtulus, Anatolian breakfast, Turkish delights, Hagia Sopfia tour, Bosphorous tour,
and SPECTACULAR meal at TURK Fatih Tukat.
