Overview

Kadıköy Confidential: Istanbul's Boldest Bites with Chef Basak
This is Kadıköy: packed with the food we whisper about but rarely share. Until now!

Start with Istanbul’s favourite street snack — pace yourself.

Next, a Lokanta. The regulars don’t even look at the menu, and what we’re here for sells out fast.

Collagen-packed soup your body will thank you for, slow-cooked for hours, and served in a spot older than the Turkish Republic. Respect.

A proper meze pit stop: vibrant, punchy cold dishes that hit you with herbs, smoke, spice, and tang, with tea.

We head straight for a hole-in-the-wall oven joint where the “Usta” teaches you how to turn dough and meat into something that’ll make you question everything you’ve ever called pizza.

Next, a Turkish take on dumplings. Handmade, smothered in garlicky yoghurt.

AND much more.

This is Kadıköy Confidential: four hours, zero pretension, all-in flavour. Come hungry, curious, and ready to see Istanbul the way the locals do.
