Not our typical style of video, but we just loved all the food so much we felt it deserved a shout out of its own. Istanbul was an incredible city with an alternative vibe. We experienced so many friendly staff at restaurants that we decided to make a video to showcase all these awesome places. Whether you are vegan or not, the food is all incredible and we only put places in the video we enjoyed and can recommend
The food was incredible it really was. It's awesome that there are so many places 💯 vegan aswell, really recommend Istanbul, it's one of our favourite cities for lots of things, and now food too!!
This video is great! Thank you for showcasing all of these great vegan places. I'll be sure to visit them when I'm in Istanbul too. I'm vegetarian, but always feel more secure eating at vegan places because there's no need to worry about potential cross-contamination. Its also really nice to see your enthusiasm about the food.
So many amazing places in Istanbul!! I feel like we could have ate out every meal for weeks and still have more to try. We loved it so much. We absolutely LOVE food 🤣🤣 so felt absolutely spoilt by this awesome city
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I'm glad you thought it looked delicious because it all really was. We absolutely LOVE food. May have to make a separate account just to share food haha, I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, so really appreciate your kind words.
This food looks amaaaazing! 👀 missing Turkish feasts already! You guys are so inspiring for us all to live a kinder life, love how comprehensive and beautiful filmed this was 💘 We miss youuuuu and our dinner nights. Your garlic bread 🤌🤌 xxx
Yesss! Finally, someone made a video showing that you can easily eat vegan in Turkey. Thanks. In fact, it is not necessary to even go to a special vegan restaurant. If you go to a local restaurant that makes home-cooked meals or to a restaurant with a wide variety of appetizers and vegetables, you can find many vegan options and easily have a delicious meal. But unfortunately, since other vloggers focus only on touristic and iconic dishes, everyone thinks that there is no other food in Turkey other than kebab.
🤣🤣 thanks so much 🥰 Istanbul was vegan heaven! And like you say lots of local dishes, veggies in oil etc is all vegan friendly too ❤️ Istanbul is one of our favourite cities in the world and we would love to come back and explore turkey even more in the future 🥰
I've just finished my supper before watching this, and I'm hungry all over again! 🤤🤤🤤 Watching you guys, Overlanding Sophia, and Tread the Globe, I think I would gain 3 stone going to Turkey.
Thank you so much for the recommendation for a Turkish breakfast at Müjgan, we have recently returned from Istanbul, we went there after watching your video and had the best breakfast ❤
Hi ya I don’t think I would be able to move for three days after eating all that food, but so good to see, such good value. Thanks for sharing 🙏 take care stay safe cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Really enjoyed this video ... my mouth literally watered through the entire thing! I can still taste the yummy foods I ate in Istanbul (and have tried to recreate some at home - fail). I am a "grazer" and I think thats what I like best about the way they serve. . . Also I want to say - while not vegan myself, still interesting to see the challenges you sometimes face. (hate to say I actually lost a friend who went vegan and completely stopped talking to me after 25 years of friendship due to the fact that I would not stop eating animal products... of course, I think of him as a one-off... its not always so polarizing). Blessings to ya! I dont mind one bit that you did an entire video on FOOD! 🥰 Keep on keeping' on...
Thanks Kathi 🥰🥰 yeah I think your friend was a one off haha 😂 We have no problem with whatever choices people make for their own life's, this is simply a choice we made for ours ❤️ We really enjoy the grazing style of Turkish eating. Istanbul was so awesome. We would definitely go back 🥰🥰
Loved this vlog - thank you. We eat meat (sorry!) but go meat free a few days each week and always seek out Vegan food - love it! PS: thanks SO much for posting the sticker - especially after your traumatic break-in - and thanks so much for the personal hand written note. We're two old gits (and a young dog!) who love travelling in our Citroen Relay campervan. You youngsters remind us why we love van life. 😊
No problem guys. Thanks so much for purchasing to support us we really appreciate it. When we finally get our new camera you will know you contributed to that so thankyou 🥰
Food looked amazing, takes me back to when you spent time with Overlanding Sophia. It's looks so delicious, now feeling hungry again now haha. All the best both, brilliant as always X
Holy shit so much bloody tasty looking food, as veggies we always worry about where to eat and it feels strange trusting that the food really is veggie or vegan when you are away from home. Thank you for making this video and giving us a bit more confidence that there is great veggie foor to be had in Istanbul. 🧡 🧡 🧡
Oh my word sooooo much amazing veggie food on Istanbul. Had a whole scene!! Great vibes as a city. Really really enjoyed it. I think the main reason we love cities is because of how much easier it is to get food hahaha
Guuuys!!! Thanks sooo much. I watched your video with a great enjoyment and anticipation - we are getting ready for our trip to Istanbul. And your video & tips are most useful!!!
Just watched your excellent blog,one disappointment though, I've actually put wait on watching you eat 🤣 how do you stay so slim! So jealous. Love you guys ❤️❤️❤️
I thank you for reminding me of the tables in my grandmother's house in Turkey when I saw the big tray. Meanwhile, the large trays make it easy to carry the whole meal and eat together on the floor. But I think the most enjoyable is always breakfast :)
The food was genuinely incredible. We were so pleasantly surprised by the high quality range and options we had in Istanbul. It was one of the best cities we've been to for food options.
Omg LOVE that you featured a vegan baklava spot! I didn't know they had that spot now! When I did my video think I went there but they didn't have the vegan option that I know of.
Sooo chestnuts will NOT be ur driving snack I’m guessing hahaha. Ur guys editing n footage is so perfect , truly a pleasure to watch . So now that I’m craving flavourful foreign foods … I’m going to make a bagel 🤪🤦🏽♀️lol Thanks for sharing ur journey 💫
Thankyou so much. That's so kind of you to say!!! We really love the editting process, always trying to get better 💪💓 enjoy your bagel. Currently eating a hot cross bun and coffee while editting tomorrow's video ❤️
4:00 What a gorgeous dish! Looks like Turkey is another vegan heaven. If you take these veggie plates every night, your health would be perfect in a year of half!
Hey sister from another mister! LOVEEED this video and I think it's going to get more views since I'm commenting on it 😁 Wish you were here in Azerbaijan, we have so many vegan dishes that will make you melt inside! Kelp up the good work dearest!
Thanks Gulara 🥰🥰 we will have to add Azerbaijan to our itenerary for a future trip if we are that far ❤️❤️ thankyou so much for commenting, we are very glad you enjoyed it 🥰🥰
Loved your tour of vegan food in Istanbul. Did you notice if there was much in the way of gluten free choices there? I'm vegan and I am gluten sensitive so it's really hard to find places to eat out at. Thanks you two!
I know a few of them did, but to be honest I don't know what all actually has gluten in it. All the veggie things and jams etc should be safe in vegan breakfast, but the bread probably wasn't. I think all the sushi is GF, and that cafe at the end is GF. I reckon most cafes in Kadikoy have GF options, it felt quite hipster in Istanbul lol. Thanks for watching the video. 🥰🥰🥰
Turkey is very famous for all the kebabs and such obviously, but the locals consume just as much olive oil and vegetables probably. For a lot of the classic Turkish dishes that are prepared with meat, there is actually another version prepared with olive oil and people jus choose whichever one to cook in their homes that day but both versions tend to be quite commonly and equally consumed. I guess if you are eating out, the kebab options are easier to come by, but as i mentioned there is like a whole section of dishes that are prepared with olive oil and probably even more frequently consumed than kebabs or other dishes with meat. Basically there tend to be like a course prepared with meat and another course prepared with olive oil in a dinner, or if you want you make the meaty dish one day and the olive oil dish the other day. Turkey is seriously a heaven with a vast range of classic vegan/vegetarian dishes that have been cooked for hundreds of years by now.
Thanks so much! 🥰🥰 We've heard great things about Germany for vegan scene! Istanbul was honestly so so good for delicious food (the rest of turkey was a struggle though lol)
By default baklava and lokum are both vegan. Kadayif as well. Çig köfte is vegan. Yaprak sarma can be vegan. Turkey has so many vegan foods. Although they're masters at literally everything.
Been i Türkiye for 16 days. Was mostly down by Dardanelles because my hubby is Kiwi and wanted to check out the ANZAC monuments. I'm vegan, with an intolerance to red pepper and an intense hatred for mint in savoury foods so I have STRUGGGGGGLED to find anything to eat. Just arrived in Istanbul yesterday and I might try the Hanimeli place you recommended but to be honest, I'm so fed up. I just buy a few veg and cook back at the Airbnb. And I can't believe there is NO BROCCOLI in this country 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I never noticed the broccoli thing, but now that you say it yes I never seen it! That would definitely be hard with pepper and mint restriction, that tends to be in a lot of food! Istanbul is great for vegan food. Maybe pizza would be a good option? Trying to think of food without pepper and mint. That Turkish breakfast place in the thumbnail is INCREDIBLE and no mint or pepper.
@@phillyandkeely Hey, just wanted to let you know we tried the Hanimeli today. The food was pretty tasty. We chose from the dishes displayed in the cabinet and there was not a bell pepper in sight 🤗. Also, as you said, the lady serving was so pleasant, helpful and sheer sunshine of a human being. Would highly recommend, and thank YOU so so much for the recommendation ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I don't know about desserts, but I have been told most simit (especially the ones at these stalls) are vegan, but some at posh bakeries may not be. Cheap ones will be. I hope someone else can help advise about the desserts
Mujgan is not vegan place. That biiig plate is posdible to order vegan, but be ready they use same kitchen for non-vegan food also. Stuff do not understand any English.
Thanks for sharing 🙏 it was super delicious 😋 but good to note for people there may be cross contamination. The girl who served us that day spoke good English and was super friendly 🥰
@@phillyandkeely yes the video too. Also thank you, i think you had that pizza in the middle of the night because you wanted to review it for us. How can i not enjoy this devotion :) waiting for the next episode :)
Really? Oh dearz I read in a lot of places it's made with water, flour, yeast, oil and molasses! From numerous places I had heard it was typically vegan. What is in it that makes it not vegan? Now I feel bad if I've been recommending something that may not be vegan 💔
@@phillyandkeely I read in a travel blog they add milk usually. I might b wrong! I will ask in a turkish group and set this straight here :-) Great video anyway, I enjoyed watching it!
@@phillyandkeely info from a turkish FB user: Simit sometimes isn't vegan because some may contain milk and egg in the shops. Street sellers' simit is vegan! (If you want to be absolutely sure, pls ask :-) Provided seller tells you the truth...)
Normal baklava no, but that was specific vegan one. Sweetcorn is vegan, no butter just salt 🥰 some of those bagels not vegan, but from our research those plain ones from those street vendors are.
Sorry you feel that way, we have not encouraged anyone else to be vegan or preached in anyway, we simply just showcasing lots of delicious places we found during our time in Istanbul, I'm sorry you find that polarising. We just enjoyed all the awesome food so much we wanted to share it
