Nadine Braehmer • September 21, 2025

Many visitors worry that Istanbul’s street food is all about meat and seafood. But the truth is: vegetarian options are everywhere — and just as delicious.



On our Kadıköy Food Tour with Madine and Asli, we make sure vegetarians enjoy the full experience of Istanbul’s flavors.


Vegetarian-Friendly Tastes on the Tour

  • Çiğ Köfte – A spicy bulgur and pepper wrap, fully vegetarian.
  • Pickled Vegetables & Turşu Juice – Tangy, crunchy, and refreshing.
  • Seasonal Salads & Mezes – A staple of Turkish dining.
  • Fresh Bread & Cheese – Comforting and authentic.
  • Traditional Desserts – Sweet endings like baklava or sütlaç.


Meanwhile, non-vegetarians enjoy classics like balık ekmek, midye dolma, kokoreç, and ıslak burger — so mixed groups are welcome!
