- Time for Turkish street food! We took a food tour in Kadikoy Istanbul with Secret Food Tours and the food we had was some of... ✈ Our 220 page guide on how to travel non-stop - geni.us/9VHNx
Secret Food Tours Istanbul delivered because this was one of our favourite food tours ever and showed so much of Kadikoy!
Before we arrived in Istanbul, and well before we came to Turkey, we were told how good Turkish food was. It's difficult to know what the best Turkish street food to order is though, it can be a bit overwhelming in the Kadikoy district particularly because of the lack of English.. which we actually love though.
After a bit of research on the best Turkey food tours we found Secret Food Tours in Istanbul, but this one was specifically in the Kadikoy area on the Asia Side - where we're staying as we showed in our last few vlogs. Anyway, the food we tried was insanely good, so we can confirm that Turkish street food / the food of Turkey is next level. Everyone was right haha.
You can see the other food tours we've taken around the world, 15+ featured in this playlist: bit.ly/2GcRKrq

#Turkey #SecretFoodTours #IstanbulFood
As a Turkish person just wanted to give you some information about the glass of water that comes with the Turkish Coffe. It is a method to understand if the guest who came to visit you is hungry or not. This method was found in the Ottoman Empire era. Turkish people didn't want to ask their guests if they were hungry in order to not to seem rude so they have found this way. When the Turkish Coffee and the glass of water comes if the guest drinks the coffee it means they are not much hungry, but if they drink the water and not the coffee they are hungry. When the guests drink the water, the host prepares a meal for the guest. This way helps the guest a lot to not giving them the burden of saying that they are hungry and asking for food. GREAT VİDEO ENJOYED IT !!
Thats super interesting - we didnt know about that! I'd drink a lot of water then haha
@@DanegerAndStacey effect of the Turkish dishes. 😁😁
I would assume that the strong coffee would upset your stomach if you drink it while hungry.
@@N0xiety exactly :)
bm3racer yes it is a fact. But I dont think it serves the purpose anymore
Turkish Food is the Best Food in the World 😍
😊👍
Absolutely truee
My favourites have always been: Italian, Turkish and Mexican.
@siup zium ciach might be too oily for some ppl
siup zium ciach all my friends do love turkish food :D
Hello from Australia. Enjoy Turkey. Best place in the world
Really??
@Turkmen sana demedim adama dedim kardeşim diyor Türkiye dünyanın en iyi yeri diyor ona cvp verdim
Hey brother is "Girgin" your last name than it means we have same last name
Hi brother we are brother in begun to gallipoli war
I LOVE AUSTURQLIA VERY GOOD COUNTRY
I want to visit Istanbul Turkey 🇹🇷 Turkey will be always in my top list. one of my favorite country. Love from india 🇮🇳
😀👍👏🙏❤️🇹🇷🇮🇳
View my channel also.. i am also uploading turkey vlogs.. plzzzzz
Well, india is a shithole.
Without a doubt, Turkish cuisine is one of my favorites in the world and I eat like a Turk all the time :)
It’s actually funny to see that most of the tourists doesn’t like ayran or thinks it’s bad because almost every Turkish people loves ayran! We drink it with every meal: burgers, pastas, kebabs, salads etc.
We see people drinking it all the time, honestly not sure why tourists hate it so much!
Daneger and Stacey tourists like sweet yoghurt with fruits, they eat it like pudding. As a Turkish, ayran is my favourite drink and I can understand why they don’t like it. I wouldn’t eat salty pudding, too. We have sweet yoghurt with sugar and fruits but we mostly like to eat is salty. Yoghurt with garlic is the best with mantı 🥟 pasta 🍝 and some fried vegatables like eggplant, zucchini and green pepper. Yoghurt is a salty food for us. 😂
@@ozlemdr6076
Çok doğru bir tespit. Yabancılar genelde şekerli içeceklere alışmışlar. O yüzden tuzlu bir içecek çok da çekici gelmiyor olabilir onlar için.
Burgerle ayran içen bi allah ın kulu yok sallama she is lying we don't drink ayran while eating burger
@@fahrettintuncer6358 sen içmiyorsun birader.
I want to go to Turkey! Make me happy. food look so good! 😋❤️
You've been to Greece yet didn't come to Turkey 아쉽다 ㅠㅠ
meri Why?
@@sulemelodi7707 what do you mean by "why" 🙄
You are welcome
@Mustafa Kemal Atatürk 2023 Yunanistan'a gitmişsiniz ama Türkiye'ye gelmemişsiniz cümlesinden ne çıkardın da böyle hakaretli bir cümle kuruyorsun acaba?
I gained 3 kilograms after my trip to Turkey because the food was fantastic :) You should go to Antalya in summer it was breathtaking! Love from Belgium :)

You will welcome to Turkey and hope you will enjoy all of our this delicious foods and coffe 🤗
We absolutely adore your comments! ❤️
just a tip, if you want the best tastebud pleasure, don't go to istanbul. that is were you get mediocre recepies. you wan't the best go to anatolia or south/southeast.
Abuzer Komurcu Don't go to south east, the Kurds are probably gonna rip you off
There are a lot of hidden places like that in İstanbul. I have been living in İstanbul for 10 years and i am still discovering new amazing little places. The beauty of the city comes from it's mysteriousness. You can find almost anything in İstanbul as long as you know where to look or know someone who does. Only then the true form of the city will start revealing itself which is actually a lot more authentic than expected
It certainly looks great! The coffee too!
Kadıköy used to be my hometown and this tour took you to the best places, really impressed :) keep it up
Thats good to know from a locals view!
Hi Dear I'm going to Turkey soon with my mom for her birthday and I was wondering if you could give me the names of the restaurants they have been to. Thank you very much.
So pumped for some Turkish food when we head there! 🙌🏼
Don't forget to try Baklava
You're gonna love it!
beyran and katmer..you have really very good turkish guide(friend)..if you have time also try to taste 'içli köfte','yaprak sarma' and 'kokoreç'..they are one of basic cultural foods of us..
ve çiğ köfte
That looks so good the food in Turkey.
I love spicy to...
Have a nice day.
God bless you two.
xx
It really is Nicole! One of our favs for sure
What an awesome food tour by far.The ''pide'' was on top of my yummy list.I've eaten soooo many of them. I spent one month in Marmaris many moons ago.The memories are embedded for life.Stay away from the local drink, raki.It's one hell of a hangover the following day. Keep the videos coming...
''Raki or rakı is a sweetened, often anise-flavoured, alcoholic drink that is popular in Albania, Turkic countries, Turkey, Greek Islands and in the Balkan countries as an apéritif. It is often served with seafood or meze.''
For sure, pide is life aye haha. We've been warned about the Raki but will have to give it a try at some stage
well you're right about raki. i dont know why, but somehow we like it lol
Can't wait to see you Anzac Day dawn service at Gallipoli🇳🇿🇹🇷🇦🇺🙏
It was special!
@@DanegerAndStacey 👍 also don't forget the WORLD BIGGEST airport from your eyes thks 🙏👍
Come to gelibolu brother. Visit in turkey. We love australian people. Sorry my english bad
Were you here? Wish I did know that. I was working in the visitor services team (Guys with the red coats) I would have hosted you in the way best I could. Shame :) Hope you enjoyed your stay!
You are always welcome bro! Love from Turkey to bestfriend countries New Zealand and Australia ♥♥
Wow! Istanbul is a beautiful city ever! I love it ♡.♡
Love there humility in your characters, and the fact that you’ve wandered into the side streets ❤️ wishing you the best
Thanks for sharing this. A well put together food tour. Keep it up guys! 😊
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing our culture, we need more people like you! 👍
I'm in Istanbul now for the third time.
Discovering this beautiful city does not finish
The best breakfast restaurant I've ever been to is: Cesme Bazlama Kahvalti Nisantasi.
My favorite coffee place after researching is: Coffeetopia.
Always the highlight of my week. The two of you are special and this food tour was really enjoyable. I tell so many people about your TH-cam channel, website and Instagram. Well done!
Really appreciate you spreading the word, thanks for that! Little things like that help us grow, explore more and share more with ya!
Wow, thank both for this wonderful videos. Love your vlogs💕
Turkey is diverse when it comes to food, west is more like greek and mediterranian, North is the scarcer food, with a lot of cheese, dough and bunch of local material with anchovies and all.
Southeast is more beef, chillis, peppers and roasted food.
Inner Anatolia is all mixture.
Pide, for example is a North Anatolian dish. Most people find it too big for one person.
What I like about turkish restaurants, is that the one thing you order fills you up, it's quite big, and you really have a menu when you order a single food.
If you order a kebap, you'll get rice, some onions, veggies, with it as well, pretty much in all food it is consistent.
Your channel is a huge inspiration! I get such lovely ideas from you guys, that I have bought a notebook to write everything down. Thanks so much for what you do, it's appreciated and adored very much.
Stoked to hear that - best of luck with your channel
@@DanegerAndStacey Thank you. My 1st video is about the "Stoked" Backpackers in Muizenberg, South Africa. Funny you used the word "stoked". So cool!
LOL glad that you feature Kadikoy this area is amazing, I was staying next to Taskim on my week long visit in Istanbul and on 6 from my seven days there I went to Kadikoy
The dishes in our country are wonderful, only part of them. We thank you for meeting our beautiful country. From Turkey with love, we wait ..🙋💛
i absolutely love your food tour. keep it up, that was great :) :)
excellent review .. I'm taking notes so i know where to go next time I'm in Istanbul
OMG wahching that made us so hungry. Awesome food tour guys👍
Gosh i love the quality of the video. Very well captured and edited
We love the quality of your comments, thanks! ❤️
The guy giggling at 4 minutes!!
Turkey, nice break from SE Asia. Love that bitter, thick Turkish coffee too. Enjoy and safe travels Dane and Stacey.
Hey guys! I have just come across this video on my timeline. Everything seems so good! The places are REALLY local, they are like incredibly local, I have never been to any of them as a Turkish person who had lived in Istanbul haha. Though, you could've gone to a better Turkish breakfast place for sure. I haven't dived into your channel yet, but if this food tour with a native person to that country is a thing you always do, I must admit that it is a fantastic idea! However, I wish you guys chatted more with your guide! That would give a great opportunity to your subscribers about the culture. Keep up the excellent work! Loves from Toronto!
Woow welcome to Turkey guyss💫🤗 bon appetit😆
TY for this foodie travel vid!

Lovely foodie episode. Was that breakfast including what we in the southern states call Grits? Looked yummy. Also the spicy rolled up pizza. Amazing antiques!!! My Kim is a antique horde :)
May have been a chilly day but from breakfast to strong cherry wine and that crazy rich spicy soup this ones a winner.
James and Kim
Everytime I go I can't get enough of doner... thinly sliced with freshly made lavash OMG... or iskender with cubed bed of bread with butter and tomato sauce and best Turkish yogurt. I need a turkish wife. so that I have more reasons to go to Turkey (to visit her/my family) hi ladies 👋👋👋... Dont hesitate to apply :))
Ike haha! I married a Turkish man! And watching this video is making me so, so hungry ❤️🧿
Sabrina Handsome we have friends who traveled to England and Turkey for their honeymoon. She said she had to buy new clothes for England after eating her way through Turkey!
What if I say that I can cook all these at home :D
@@pm660 and if you are single...? Perrrfect. Let's talk :))
@@ike7539 in turkey there is a word which is yavşak.It describes you very much

Keep warm !
Lovely country I can't wait to visit Turkey.Greetings from New Zealand
OMG!! it is middle of the night and I am sooo hungryyy! I miss those foods.
Haha sorry!
Turkish coffee is like a triple espresso...with bits
Also that yoghurty drink is Ah-ree-an it's a drink often had with meaty foods, and as a refreshing summer drink :)
We call that drink “ayran” also you can say “I run”
Yes ah-ree-aaaan is great especially in tuuuuuh-reeee-keee-heeey.
We drink ayran with meat, with sandwiches of any kind, with salty pastries and some even like it with desserts.
It is ayran, read it as " I run " , written differently because in Turkish we pronounce letters in a different way than English. Greetings from Trabzon
Yes, Turkish people say “I run” it’s so simple 😂
Great video!!
Thanks
Thanks for sharing love ur vlogs
Cheers Andre
paradise...
You guys really tried local things and did an impressive food tour. I’m Turkish and I’ve never eaten that soup you ate at the end 🤣🤣 I want to try it some day ahahah by the way I’m happy that you liked ayran because it’s part of most turkish meals. I suggest you eat Kumpir if you haven’t tried it yet.It is a street food and is basically baked potato stuffed with various ingredients inside. You can find lots of kumpir selling counters in Ortaköy. You can also try the dessert “Lokma” It is traditonally made with sugary liquid but nowadays it’s covered with chocolate and cream and is soooooo trendy. Hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday here
04:28 the way your eyes started to shine as you tasted Pide :))) It's pretty much self explanatory, no need for words.
Exactly! its delicious.
Great vlog
Welcome!! 😊😊😊😊🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
I did a double take about half way through when I heard my name- Dane. My wife and I are headed to Istanbul in about 2 months, so this gave me some good ideas. Thanks for the video!
Haha good stuff, enjoy your trip
Turkish coffee is the name of the cooking technique of coffee . You put the water , sugar and coffee on the coffee pot and stir until it foams .
Best food ever and hospitality forever👑
OMG You guys are FINALLY in a cold destination hehehehe!
Haha its so weird! Snowed the other day 😐
Turkey is wonderful any time of the year but I must say its magical in the summer. You would have seen the best Turkey can offer then.
Sonbahar ve ilkbahar şehridir istanbul.. kışın da çok güzel olur.. bilmiyorsan öğren.. burası 4 mevsim yaşanan en güzel şehir..
istanbul has been my new "coup de coeur" as the french would say :)
Success Generator what is mean “coup de coeur“ ?
@@Kolgezen favorite 😁
this is just the beginning, you've never seen anything about Türkiye. There are tons of experience waiting for you :) have a nice trip 🤗
Like how you critique/describe each food. You're not like "WOW!(and thats it)"
-rather you take us along with the journey of your palate.
They are setting a standard that is very high.
This is normal they can’t comparing turkish food with the others. This is totally unique experience for them
Appreciate that, thank you! It's really hard to do haha
My favorite in Turkish breakfast is Muhlama/Kuymak or Menemen. They are very special.
Wooow what great Food Trip , I am still jealous now ..:)))) Think that step by step you see Turkey with other eyes and i can see that you enjoy the new culture of Food and History from Turkey ...
wish you a great trip for the next days ... But dont forget " stuffed Shells" in Turkish "Midye Dolma" and "Kumpir" its baked potatoes ... this are must to do eating street foods ;)
Loved Istanbul, food was great
Agreed!
Turkey is a country really worth seeing☺☺
Agreed!
U r great guys
It's funny to see someone explaining pides or who has never had it before, because in Melbourne we have a fairly large Turkish population and it can be found almost everywhere.
Damn Turkish food is the best!
Stacey is always so delicate eating 😘😍. Sometimes I cut such big pieces and have to hear my husband telling me to slow down as the world is not gonna end 😂😂😂
Renata Pereira your wife will be tired for to say slow down, when you meet turkish food ☺️
Hahaha thats so funny. She actually eats a lot quicker now because she knows its a race with me 🤣
You guys went to one of favourite places in Istanbul which is called Moda-Kadikoy. I didn't even know couple of places in this video as I live there😂😂 I'm so happy that you guys had lots of fun in Turkey. I hope you can explore other impressive parts of Turkey one day such as Mardin, Gaziantep or Antakya. Tesekkurler!!🇹🇷🇹🇷
Wooowww very nice video ♡♡♡
Must be so nice walking in that temperature..
Hey great stuff as always.. your gear camera link shows a Panasonic gh5 and backup canon camera...but the video shows a Sony. Did u switch or just add Sony and didn't update the gear info? Stay safe guys...
Still filming on the GH5 and have the Canon as a back up. Stace takes photos on the Sony a6400. Need to flick off the Canon and update that equip page with the Sony is all.
keep doing what you guys do... thanks@@DanegerAndStacey
Gaziantep is the food mecca in Turkey. Because of the geographic location they have so many types of kebabs and delicious as well as deserts. For healthier, lighter but again delicious food I would recommend west coast, cities bordering Aegean sea. Especially mezes are to die for.
the food from gazianzep is soo goood !!!! I love them so much !!!
there is a saying, turks cannot eat bad food; not dont, they cant. because of the geography, mix of people etc.
mustaa there are lots of fresh fruits, vegatables and quality meat in Turkey. They know how to mix and cook them. Turkey also has very different traditional cuisines like Gaziantep cuisine, Bolu cuisine, Ottoman cuisine, Mediterranean, Aegean and Black Sea cuisines. Them all are different but delicious their own way. 😊
5:45 My friend took me to this underground cafe. It was night time and we sat outdoors. Its a great hangout place for teens and young people who want to have a beer and a smoke.
