Turkish cuisine is more than just food for Erasmus students and international visitors – it’s an experience. Sitting at the table here means sharing conversations, making new friends, and getting to know the culture up close. Table manners and the tradition of sharing are just as important as the flavors themselves.

The variety of dishes on a Turkish table is amazing: börek, mantı, dolma, sarma, pilav, olive-oil dishes, köfte, lamb and chicken dishes, fish, vegetable dishes, and a wide range of mezes. Many of these are stewed or pot-cooked dishes, slow-cooked to bring out rich flavors, making them both satisfying and nutritious. This combination ensures a healthy and balanced dining experience for everyone.

Desserts are a must-try in Turkish cuisine: baklava, kadayıf, sütlaç, revani, and aşure complete the meal on a sweet note, leaving a lasting impression at the table.

In short, Turkish cuisine offers Erasmus and international guests an unforgettable experience, combining taste, health, and culture. Every bite is not just about flavor, but also about the joy of sharing, chatting, and enjoying meals together.
