right now we are in Taksim which is the heart of Istanbul
and we're gonna explore Taksim Street. we're gonna try some Turkish food and share with you
we just arrived to Taksim Street as you can see it's pretty busy and as I said we've
been chilling for few hours so right now we are hungry but what we decide to do
is instead of go to one specific restaurant to eat something we're gonna walk along
the streets. grab some street food little snacks and
also check out the shops and share it all with you guys
it's been a while that we didn't been here baby how is your first impression
it's very cold outside
yes after you wake up jumping into this crowd straightaway without breakfast
yes, I am really hungry and I like Turkish food
so I am excited to try
oh babe like let's try this.
Tantuni!! yes I like tantuni
hello
Can I get one tantuni please?
this first food we decided to get tantuni. it's like fried mince with sauce
and some tomato inside
it is really tasty. It was thirteen Turkish Liras is pretty cheap
we're just gonna share this. As I said we are not going to have 1 main meal.
We are gonna keep trying different Turkish dish ad this is our first food
nice?
Really nice, I really like tantuni
It is really nice flavors. you would expect it to be oily but it's not oily at all.
It is really nice flavors coming all together
its really soft as well there is like vegetables like onion tomato some mince
and some mints
first food finished. you like it!
it was delicious. Now let's see what are we gonna eat next
guys there are also such things it's called simit but it's kind of bakery
we're not gonna try it now because for us it's more breakfast so probably we're
going to try it tomorrow but just to let you know that there's an option
as we walk, we find this restaurant here behind me it seems like they have tons
of different food options so we just gonna go inside check what they have and
try some more Turkish food
for the second dish we decided to try dolma. what this is is you know and they
take the grape leaf and they roll it with rice sometimes with meat
sometimes they call it lier dolma which is like they don't put meat inside
and olive oil it is really nice dish it is really hard to make.
they have to roll it inside with rice the rice inside the leaf and cook you for
a long time you get this it's 12 Turkish Liras it's expensive for this portion to be honest
but we are in Taksim everything we eat here is obviously overpriced
when I cut it you can see there is like rice inside they marinated
with different things like tomato some onion and that's what gives you the
flavor and outside is a grape leaf. Let's try
you don't really taste the rice lots of different flavors
it is pretty nice. it is really light nothing heavy
it is cold right now which is good because for me the temperature is hot
for Julian's temperature is cold but its really nice dish
they put this dry grape inside as well
yes I do not like it
yeah this food is finish. let's go some find something more the restaurant was
pretty interesting I was like hundreds of options and what you do is you just
walk there you got a tray you pick up one portion of this one portion of that
whatever you like to eat and then once you choose everything you have you go to
cashier you pay the price and then you can sit down and eat but there was
lot's of option and you can choose small portions which was really interesting we didn't
choose more than one because we're gonna go to different places and explore different food
this is first day so we don't really have Turkish currency with us
there is an exchange office here I'm just gonna go quickly their to exchange and it's hundred
euros so we can spend more and then continue our vlog
what is this babe?
it says wet burger
first time I see something like this
let's try
you find it on the menu?
islak hamburger
this is normal burger
this is wet burger.
yes we're gonna go for the wet burger
as we were walking through the Taksim street
we've seen some things that's called wet burger I never tried
it before so we decided to give it a try. it's only 5 Turkish Liras which is really cheap
this food is probably the last dish that we eating and then we gonna continue with dessert
It taste like bread with ketchup
that's it not nice
let me try
It is avarage
It tastes like mince with really wet bread
and a little bit sauce
it is okey. I can eat this but it is not amazing
so babe are you full now?
yeah we ate three different dishes now I am good
so now is the time for Turkish dessert
I really like this Turkish sweets and baklava
means me know their job yes stop because it's the first job that you see ya know
it looks really professional lots of options
I really like this one with pistachio
My love, I think we need to eat here because it was like
1864 which is Ottonom before Turkey because also where the optimum hats
I know let's go and get your dessert from here yeah
what would you like to eat?
what would you like to eat? Lokum or baklava
I like this one but I can not eat this
nuts are pretty big
go with the something with small nuts
it's really crowded downstairs that's why little bit isn't just many people
that's why we decided to sit and order from the menu
no not one piece they took in my love I know it's expensive but obviously they
have brand here 200 years of experience yeah so that one you decide
we got here baklava and Turkish tea. proper traditional
what do you think about the taste?
Amazing, if you like sweets. This is the things to try
we' eat our dessert as well on top of our meal it was pretty expensive dessert for
free piece of baklava they charge us like 22 Turkish Liras which
was too expensive now what we're gonna do is we're gonna go on the side
streets of Taksim to see some bars and all this kind of stuff we will check
around and share with you guys
go all around Taksim and we only eat food we didn't even check shops yeah the proper foodies
we're just turning but I already can hear a lot of music so it's totally
different atmosphere
if you go to the side roads it seems like it's mostly bars where you can see
smoking sheesha have a beer and child of your friends it's totally different that
was the main street in Taksim. we had a great time I hope you enjoy the video as
well and if you are new to my channel make sure you subscribe so hope to see
