Istanbul, Türkiye - Welcome to Istanbul, one of the most fascinating, historical, and delicious cities in the world. Today I’ll be taking you on an ultimate Turkish street food tour in Istanbul - you can expect some iconic street foods and some unseen surprises!
Here are the places we ate in this tour:
📍Galata Simitçisi (maps.app.goo.g...) - You can’t come to Istanbul without trying simit, a common ring shaped bread that you’ll find at bakeries and street food carts throughout the city.
📍Çiğ Köfteci Seyfettin Usta (maps.app.goo.g...) - One of my absolute favorite Turkish foods is Çiğ Köfte, that includes raw meat, bulgur, and lots of spices.
📍Dürümcü Raif Usta (maps.app.goo.g...) - Turkey is the king of kebabs and a durum is a grilled kebab served wrapped in bread so it’s often fast and on the go.
📍Tarihi Eminönü Derya Balıkçısı 1945 (maps.app.goo.g...) - Probably the most iconic of all Turkish street foods in Istanbul is the balik ekmek, a grilled fish sandwich still served on a boat on the Golden Horn.
📍Beşaltı Kirvem Tantuni (maps.app.goo.g...) - It’s hard to find anything tastier than tantuni!
📍Tekrartekrarr Bay Köfte (maps.app.goo.g...) - This was something totally unique and that I’d never seen before, an ultimate cheese overdose, and so good!
📍Sokak pilavcısı (maps.app.goo.g...) - Another popular Istanbul street food is rice and chickpeas with shredded chicken, and you’ll find it all over the city.
📍Midyeci Erkan (maps.app.goo.g...) - If you love mussels, midye dolma are a dream come true. They go down so easily and are so addictive!
Istanbul is a street food paradise, and I hope this video will give you some ideas for what to eat when you’re there!

Istanbul is my favourite destination. The food is amazing and the key is to avoid "tourist" restaurants around attractions - just go deeper into the streets and see where you see all their local people sitting and eating, and just order there - you just cant fail! And TUrkish people are amazing hosts. I love their friendly culture, kindness and etiquette
And local foods much better than tourist foods. Example balkan restorants they selling cheap and good quality food better than tourist foods
as a Turk, this is a very accurate comment. Especially im so sad for those who come to Turkiye and leave without seeing real baklava. I can say that the baklava of the Güllüoğlu's is the best I have ever eaten. Everyone should eat from it. By the way, let me also point out that Istanbul is just the tip of the iceberg. If you research where local dish come from and go to those provinces, you may lose your mind because the taste of the food is so good.
Jag håller definitivt med dig.
Or contact me. :) No tourist traps, no sponsored top lists, no deals with restaurant owners. Just real, local and good food. Join my food walk tours. Walking is good, food walk is better!

Just got back from a week in Istanbul...it is an amazing place. The food is crazy good and the people are some of the nicest people in the world!
thanks, you're always welcome:-)
@@idilguner6730 I can't wait to return to your wonderful country!
And I just got back from Spain after two weeks :) Your country is also amazing and people were sooo kind and welcoming! :)
Istanbul is a beautiful but very crowded city. If you have the opportunity, I recommend you to visit Antalya, Fethiye region. We love Spain very much, they are very warm people. Loves from Turkey.
Just make sure you don’t run into a hanutçu in Taksim. They will lure you to a seedy bar and charge you €1000 for one cocktail
I worked with a crazy Turk for about 16 years...he's since moved back to Turkey to take care of his Mom with his second wife...I think I need to go visit him. Loved that man. And he owes me a bottle of Raki.
Them cimitcisi looking like donuts eh Mark. Delish!
That's what they are a bagel 🥯
Cool to hear that, definitely go visit when you have a chance. Food and the raki is great!
I met him in addis ababa ge is a great guy
Second wife?
I'm living in turkey , what a fantastic episode, you portrayed the food in turkey better than any local person, so glad you enjoyed the enormous range off wonderful food here ,
Thank you, cool to hear you're living in Turkey!
Where the meat
do you live in istanbul?
Since you live in Turkey, would you be able to tell me what that cheese was? i want it. it looked soo gooey.
@@MrYakov1992 If you can show me the timestamp I can help you
Turkiye is such a wonderful country and Istanbul is one of the best cities in the world!

I have worked since 7 years in turkish it is wonderful people tasty food and crazy weather ....i love it.....even turkish people more friendly best hospitality thank you turkey 🇹🇷 🇹🇷 🇹🇷
I loved Istanbul the people, the culture and the food incredible. I think Turkish food is one of my favorite Mediterranean cuisines. 🥰
Im Dutch Indonesian and I love Turkish food! For me they are one of the best with meat. Always juicy ❤
My city, Istanbul, is a magnificent place with fantastic cuisine. You captured its essence perfectly. Turkiye is at the crossroads of everything; we are European, Asian, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Balkan. This gives us great cultural richness, which is reflected in our food.
if every person were as kind and good person as Mark this world would be a much better place
Totally agree!!❤
What did he do?
@@sjv9147s just being polite is enough
@@RalphUsaTr That's why the different words in the lexicon.
Turkey is a amazing country. Greetings from Morocco

Selam iz İstanbula , canlarım !
We just missed each other Mark! Amazing video! The Turkish food is incredible and the city of Istanbul is a special place!
Hey man good to hear from you. Are you still in Istanbul? I filmed this about a month ago.
welcome to Istanbul Mark
@@MarkWiensyummy Turkish food ❤ by the way I recommend you to try food from Ecuador 🇪🇨 it’s veeeeeey veeeeery goooooood 👌 🍲
Hi. Nice to see you in istanbul. Majority of turks didnt speak english but they are absolutely friendly people. Been living in istanbul for almost 3 years now. I gained almost 12kls now because of their cuisines. 😅
Welcome back to Turkey after 8 years. Nice to see you.
Whenever I am tired or stressed, i just have to watch a video of Mark Wiens, just seeing his face changes my mood.
Very cool to hear that, thank you very much for your support.
Me too!
I’ve been his follower for almost 5 years now
So true 👍
@@MarkWiens MARK i am so glad you are finally able to have good time in my city!!!
Istanbul, Cappadocia, Pamukkale, Efes (Ephesus), Antalya (including its towns), Izmir, Bursa, Abant and Yedigöller, Eskişehir, and the Black Sea region are the most recommended places to visit in Türkiye. Besides the cultural tourism, sea tourism is also so advanced in this country. To swim and sunbathe, you should visit Türkiye, again. The seasides of Türkiye are really unforgettable.
I‘m Hungry 😋
Turkish cuisine is a dream🙌
Thanks for the trip Mark👍
Love this Turkish food adventure just makes me drool 🤣🤣🤣 watching from the Philippines 🇵🇭. Thanks for this wonderful vlog 👍
You've visited my country Nigeria 🇳🇬🙌now to another country I love so dearly ❤Turkey 🇹🇷Mashalla
That fish sandwich looks like utter perfection. Simplicity in a hand held.
Turkiye is crazyyy, best food believe me.
The Turkish cuisine is a fusion cuisine. It includes the elements of Middle Asia, East Europe, the Balkans, the Mediterranean Sea, Near East, and Middle East. Including the food and beverages, Turkish culture is one of the most influential cultures throughout the world. Cuisine, TV dramas, Turkish music, and all the touristical and historical places in the country are the "soft power" elements of Türkiye. A great history including the Ottoman Empire, and a great culture including traditional and modern elements... A very nice country... West and East are together... Just enjoy your time in Türkiye, and thank you very much for this video.
I was in Istanbul in Nov 2015...missed so many food experiences. Looking forward for another vacation to Turkiye and go to all the places that Mark covered
Oh! How I wish I was with you guys, experiencing this Mediterranean cuisine of Turkish variant. I always crave for Istanbul. It fascinates me in so many ways(people, history, astounding landscapes, cuisines, cultures, traditions etc).
Istanbul is one of my favourite places to visit, been 3 times and is always full of surprises, happy to see you still winning Mark, thanks for the nostalgia.
I go too Turkiye 2 times a year, Istanbul I have amazing friends there and my GF. I love it there and may end up moving there; out of the city though. The transportation is amazing too!
Mark …. I have been watching you non stop since 2015… nearly a decade now and till date as soon as I get your notification I leave everything and just watch ur videos!!!! Continue to grow … lots of love Mark ….. cheers bud
Thank you very much for all your support over the years!
the feeding from these guys is a common gesture in turkey, it means that the person feeding really likes you.
Turkish food is da bomb! Man, I can't even watch this vlog....my mouth is watering, stomach gurgling...I envy your job brother!
Mark Wiens is definitely my food guru! But he is also my "how to treat people" guru! I love the way he profoundly respects and admires all those people working around food! Thanks Mark! 🌿
Yess!! Türkiye again after many years!!!
It's been too long!
@@MarkWiens Welcome back again to my country. Dear Mark Wiens i am very happy. I wish you have great nice foodfull journey in Turkey. I do not know your route but you must go to two cities that are the best gastronomic cities in Turkey one is a must Gaziantep (capital of Baklava and Kebap) and the other is my homeland Adana (where the famous legendary Adana Kebap and our national drink Shalgam was born). If you don't know Shalgam, Shalgam is a non alcholic fermented Turnip and Black Carrot juice that is very savory and goes with Kebap very well must try it sometime. I am sorry that in 2015 you had to go back early because of the stupid coup attempt that you and your family encountered.
@@oykugursoz4867 what coup attempt?
@@beneiseoleinmheart5614 watch the video that was taken by Mark Wiens in 2017 the video title is "Lamb Chops and Safety Tips during the Attempted Coup in Istanbul"
@@beneiseoleinmheart5614 Sorry the year was 2016 my mistake but if you search the video that Mark Wiens took you will understand what i mean it is passed anyhow so forget it.
39 yıldır Türkiyedeyim şöyle yemek keyfi yapamadım dostum 😅❤
Wow, everything looks delicious! I am obsessed with Tantuni-it's one of the best on-the-go dishes. Great video, Mark!
All the news about war, disasters, and conflict, yet you show that there is beauty and friendliness everywhere in the world
Turkey also commits genocide towards the Kurds, Greeks and Armenians as we speek. Sadly not a good country.
@@RodiBeatz It's truly unbelievable how you can lie so easily.
@@alexhunter8239 The internet is free to use my friend. Their president is a war criminal. Not all countries are good.
@@RodiBeatzmillions of kurdish people live peacefully in Turkey, if there was a genocide believe the situation would be much different than this.
@@pcprincipal345 Peaceful? You can’t show Kurdish flag in public, you can’t talk Kurdish in public without experiencing racism. Kurdish shops and homes being destroyed and replaced with Turkish shops and arabs. It’s called ethnic cleansing my friend.
Thanks Mark! Turkish food is on another level!
I love turkish food so much, best cuisine in my opinion
Welcome back to Türkiye again Mark.
Thank you very much!
Istanbul is an absolute gem of a city, bursting with life and flavor! You nailed its vibe perfectly. Turkey is this amazing blend of Europe, Asia, the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and the Balkans. This melting pot of cultures makes our food incredibly diverse and our traditions super rich and vibrant. It's a place where every street has a story and every meal is an adventure!
Why is Turkey so underestimated by Europe? their history and country are really interesting and exciting
We live in a euro centric world where every other culture is not considered but treated as second or third class
Turkey > Europe
Because Turkey is a fascist dictatorship constantly threatening Europe and undermining human rights and democracy, killing and genociding Kurds and Armenians lol. learn some history.
Yes also their Turkish shows!
Their culture is awesome but they are thinking that neighboring countries are their enemies.
My brother and I followed your videos from a while back when we went to Istanbul - and had some of the best meals of our lives. Favorites were Lades Menemen and Sehzade Cag Kebap!
Great to hear that, oh yah those are amazing places. More Istanbul videos coming!
Cağ kebap Türkiyenin Erzurum şehrine aittir. Dünyanın en beğenilen 9.yemeği ile Türkiyeyi temsil ediyor.
I had the pleasure to stay in Istanbul for 3 month, and until this day i still dream of tantuni and that mackerel in a lavash wrap. Istanbul’s food is top notch amazing. US turkish food can not compare🤤🤤🤤🤤
😭😭😭😭😭
Us foods r better
@@alpersenturk8677 Hangi yemekleri
Can you suggest some good restaurants
Hey Mark! Great seeing you & Micah sharing a meal again! Turkey has such historical significance and the food is perfect for drinking lol. Each protein is seasoned well & the kabobs are always amazing paired with the fresh bread from the oven. I live around Turkish business owners & they always so kind, hardworking, and friendly people. I can consume that fish sandwich for lunch on a weekly basis for sure. I already know that I'm gonna enjoy this food tour!! Great to see you again Mark!! Happy Memorial Weekend!! Wishing you safe travels & blessings my friend!! Stay being phenomenal!! Cheers!! 🌯🥖🍻
Thank you so much, fully agree, so much seasoning and everything is flavorful. Have a great weekend as well!
Lady tripping at 35:10 😂 food looks incredible!
🤣🤣
lmaooo
😂😂😂
She probably thought, "I'm glad no one saw that." Meanwhile, Mark drops the video to hundreds of thousands of views.😂
Dude I saw that and I was trying to find it to mention it in the comments 😂
I love every food in Turkey from the food to their salads and coffee 😋😍 not forgetting clothes too .
This one is gonna explode! Just watched Luke Martin's Turkey video..This must be a sign!
That cheese filled patty sandwich looks absolutely fantastic. My mouth was watering watching the chef stretch it. Lol thank you Mark. ❤
Thanks, oh yah that was amazing!
If you're still in Istanbul go to Ziyafet kuzu çevirme İstanbul. They rotisserie full lambs and the food is to die for. Some of the best rice and lamb you will ever have and the lamb cooking over logs is a sight to behold.
That happiness from the man making the kapta. Such beauty and happiness.

Mark , gaziantep is a must visit when you are ib turkey. Its the city with the best food and a paradies for spicy food lovers , they love to cook spicy and its a very different cuisine from istanbul , because gaziantep is on the fron to syria , so they cook a bit like arabs but spicy , its just amazing!
Coming soon!!
@@MarkWiens wow cant wait! You are the best mark! May god bless you and your family! Im moroccan living in germany and i love watching your videos since you start your youtube channel. Have a nice day mark you are an amazing person
Aynı şeyi bende yazdım Gaziantep gitmezse Türkiye'ye gelmiş sayılmaz bence. Fırsatı kaçırmamalı.
Antep Türkiyenin en büyük gastronomi şehri muhakkak gitmeli ve denemelisiniz..
istanbul is the best
Mark you are full of love man that's what I respect about you the most keep doing what you do brother 👏 💯
As a Turkish this is a %100 accurate food tour. The way he eat meals (exact every single detail) is very important. And the places he visited are among the best. Of course there should be 4-5 videos like this in order to truly show all the best dishes of Istanbul.
I got so hungry while watching simit part at start, there is no way i can finish this video without eating as well lol. You are amazing as always, Mark more videos from Turkey please!
Love Turkiye, From Pakistan.
Right as released! Let’s enjoy another Mark Wiens Video together everyone 🤗 You know the day will be better with a new video released 😃
Welcome back Mark. I live in this amazing city and I learn new things from your videos. Your good energy is evident in your videos, come again and you will always be welcome.
Turkiye is amazing ❤ food is fantastic and people are super friendly ❤
MARK WİENS THE KİNG OF FOOD!
Derya balıkçısı, çocukluğumdan beri Eminönü ne gidince hep uğrayıp, balık ekmek yediğim yerdi. Dedeleri pişirirdi, tüp üzerinde, süperdi, sonra sizlerden muhakkak Geldiğimde yerim. Tertemiz, taze, turşu suyunu da içti mi oh mis. Yollayın Ankara ya çok canım çekti. Amma iştahlı yiyor. Afiyet olsun. 👏🌺💖
Oh i miss Istanbul ❤
A bit different, but so familiar food, at the same time! Greetings from Greece!
Here I am on this cold rainy Saturday afternoon in South Africa 🇿🇦 and snacking on a packet of spicy sweet chilli chips and catching up on videos that I haven't yet watched and I came across this video released over an hour ago. Those of us who grew up on spicy foods, have stomachs of steel. Micah as well was eating spicy from a baby. Everything Mark is eating today, looks delicious and please eat a second helping on behalf of us 😋👌
Love and regards to Ying and Micah.
Glad you enjoy spicy food as well. Hope you have a great day even with the cold rainy weather!
Love Turkish food and culture😍😍😍
Greatest way to start my day, thanks as always Mark and family!! ❤
Turks of Central Asia love their brothers of Türkiye. Tek millet alti davlet!
Turkıye is So amazıng I love you Turkey 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
How good the food looked….I enjoyed every bite you took😍😍😍😍
*Mark yıllar sonra tekrar geldiğine sevindim, hoşgeldin, iyi gezmeler ve iyi yemekler 🙋♂*
I might be the first viewer here! This is a beautiful place with beautiful food!
I love how nice all the chefs were. And the food looked amazing. Especially that cheese sandwich concoction from that food truck. It looked so good.😋
I spent two months in Istanbul last year - hands down my favorite 'vacation' ever. Great food, people, and cheap ferry rides (that I took advantage of almost daily)! I stayed in the Kadiköy neighborhood, near the crazy streets with shops and restaurants. There's a menemen place called Meşhur Menemenci Cemal Polat that I visited almost every day for breakfast ... menemen with white cheese and a small tea! I really need to go back!
Great to hear that, glad you enjoyed Istanbul so much, thanks for the tip!
you even put the correct names and letters in your comment huge respect man! I'm glad you had a good time in Istanbul
So very interesting, to see the history of Turkey's food varieties being displayed within this wonderful video.
The peoples of Turkey genetically, are primarily a mix of European, Middle Eastern, South & Central Asian & all of these ethnic admixtures & their historical roots & links to the Turkish peoples, is displayed in Turkey's wonderful & delicious cuisine.
Mark Wien's, always happy to try as much local food on offer & almost always, with a huge smile on his face!
Dear Mark Wiens, I always thought that you are a respectable human being, and you just showed it to me again by using "Turkiye", thank you.
😢😢
Mark, you can't eat all that in one day! Hope you filmed several days...
Went to Istanbul in 1990 and I still remember the sandwich I had ❤
Mark, so glad to see you in Istanbul. My wife and I are headed there this fall to begin a 6-week trip which will take us to Albania, Croatia, Slovenia, & Portugal as well. Love your videos , keep traveling!
Frank from New Orleans
Your guide is so good btw... he shows you the best food in the best places really... real Turkish stuff
I think we can now call you Marko Polo of Culinary 😅
I love this guys facial expressions is epic😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
Epic! Istanbul is MAGIC !
Every time I see Mark Wiens drop another video, my day instantly becomes better.
What an amazing video of my beloved Turkish food and culture! visiting here in few weeks myself and would love to try the cheese kofte sandwich!
Mark, ultimate Istambul street food without kokoreç? No way ;-) And you are standing in front of kokoreç shop in the last shot ;-)
Saved it for Izmir, did try one in Istanbul too, but in a later video.
@@MarkWiens 😍😍😍👍
Mark know Best place İzmir for eating kokorec
@@MarkWiens Welcome again Mark! İzmir is the best place to eat Kokorec (just with cumin, no vegetables in it) and for mussels also..Mussels are smaller but far delicious (eat @Karşıyaka with Efes Beer)
The design elements throughout this video are beautiful. Every frame is so well thought out!
I had lot of TURKISH Food in Melbourne,VICTORIA Dear Marky..
Cheers from #coimbatore #tamilnadu #southindia
Last time you were here was full chaos but I hope you’ll have a great trip this time. Also it’s good to see a UA-camr going to different local shops and not to those tourist traps.
So many dishes I want to try!
