Authentic Turkish Antioch Breakfast with Local Sisters
Description
We can all go to the best breakfast places in Istanbul, which offer amazing menus with various delicious dishes. But we want to introduce something new; we want to show how we, the local people of Turkey, live. Just like families, friends in Turkey would invite each other for breakfast and spend a morning together, we want to have you over at our home as our friends. We want to show you Turkish hospitality. But we want to do this by teaching how to make a typical Turkish breakfast. That way, you will be able to bring this culture wherever you want. We want to learn your culture and teach ours. That makes us different.

Our host Rojda was very kind to her friends and shared many cooking ingredients with us, learned about local specialty ingredients, spices, as well as traditional cuisine in Turkey, and also carefully prepared an improved version of the menu according to our personal dietary prohibitions. After dinner we also talked, drank coffee and had a relaxing and pleasant time!
謝謝你們 💛 Rojda 很開心能與你們分享土耳其食材與文化。期待有一天再一起聊天、喝咖啡！
We had a really good time learning to make a Turkish breakfast and chatting with Aysu and her friends! It was such a nice and relaxed way to learn more about Turkish cuisine and culture. We were also really pleased to hear that Lokal Bond offers many more activities in Istanbul, all about culinary and/or creative experiences. We would definitely book an experience again if we come back :)
Such kind words — thank you! Aysu loved sharing her morning rituals with you. Always a seat waiting for you at her table. 🌞🍳
We had a great time and learned a lot during this class. We are back home and like to cook what we learned in the class.
What a great way to learn!!! Aysu is one of the sweetest souls that I have ever meet. She is an amazing host and made feel at home in her home. We made delicious breakfast and had amazing conversation. This is definitely an experience you don't want to miss. If you are in Istanbul go learn something new I did. Thank you Aysu and Lokal Bond
Aysu has been a great chef and a wonderful friend.The moment we met her we did not even feel for a second we are meeting her for the first time. She took us so welcomingly to the local markets of Besiktas for buying the groceries for our breakfast while she also elaborated so minutely about various products we were buying for cooking the breakfast. She made the amazing and delicious 😋 turkish breakfast from menemen too ....for us while chit chatting along with us about the delicacies and culture of the Turkish food. She has been one the close bond between us and the lokal bond.She made us feel so homely that due to her we were so comfortable meeting the other family members of lokal bond. We really enjoyed the amazing food with the company of the lokal band group and homely feeling while exchanging thoughts and views about our cultures. We would always recommend lokal bond and Bawer to our friends to feel the touch of Turkish culture whenever they travel to Turkey 😃
We really wanted to immerse ourselves in Turkish culture and step outside the normal tourist experience! We love Turkish food and I love to cook! This was perfect! The tour operator calls it a community and that is exactly how it feels. Before, during and after communication was brilliant, a ride to the experience was organised for us a couple of days prior when we decided it would be tough for us to get there easily early in the day and reached out to them and it was sorted straight away- no problem! The experience itself felt like making new friends, as well as making and enjoying wonderful food! We stayed to chat after as-well and share stories and travel tips! This was an authentic experience that we really enjoyed and everyone should experience this! The tours that lokal bond offer is like no other tour group- to experience real Istanbul with locals! When we return to Istanbul we will definitely be booking about experience with them!
This was a great way to experience a Turkish breakfast and learn how it is made. It was also a great chance to talk to both people who live locally and others who were visiting (and their cat Petra!). It was a very inviting and delicious experience.
Loved the friendly, kind conversations we had with our hosts!! The food was marvelous and authentic, and yummy 😊😊. In addition they were more than helpful with our transportation needs
Such a nice experience helping Aysu make some breakfast dishes. She was great host and we had lots of laughs as well! The food was delicious and we enjoyed conversation with whole family. This was top experience we’ve had on our numerous trips to Istanbul.
It was an excellent experience. The traditional Turkish breakfast was very delicious. I can still remember the taste of the cheese, honey and everything😋 I was so full and satisfied! The hosts are very nice, such a warm family. Not only did we make breakfast, but also had a nice chat. I would definitely recommend this experience to everyone who will visit Istanbul!
