This menu is a reflection of my personal approach to Anatolian cuisine — where tradition meets subtle innovation. I have taken familiar, time-honored recipes and gently reinterpreted them, staying true to their roots while introducing delicate modern touches. Turkish cuisine itself is shaped by the rich cultural mosaic of Anatolia, where countless traditions, peoples, and flavors have intertwined over centuries. The result is a journey through the comforting, vibrant, and diverse tastes of this land — presented with simplicity, respect, and a contemporary spirit. (this text is not AI created :))

Aegean Tasting Menu

spanish
For me, the Aegean is not just a place — it’s a feeling. This menu brings together the flavours of Greek and Anatolian cuisines, shaped by the shared history and generous spirit of this coast. You’ll also find small touches from Mediterranean cooking on top of the traditional selection. I feel grateful that this menu, prepared with care and curiosity, helped my restaurant find its place on the Michelin selection list. But more than anything, I hope it brings you the same joy it brings me every time I share it.
