Istanbul literally provides delicious street food on every corner. And grabbing a bite on the street, either straight from one of the vendors there or in a snack place is a typical part of the life in Istanbul. Literally sold on the streets are mainly three typical dishes: Misir, Kestane and Balik Ekmek by the real street sellers with their push-cars.

Eating street food is very much part of the Istanbul way of life. You can’t walk for over a kilometer without coming accross one or more street vendors and a dozen of snack shops or büfes. And with street food we don’t just mean food literally bought and eaten on the street, but also an array of light snacks such as pastry (börek), kebap, döner and meatballs (köfte). Here’s is an overview of what’s hot and what’s not, as well as a list of usual suspects.
- Balık ekmek – literaly translated ‘fish bread’. And that’s basically what it is — fish, grilled or fried in front of your eyes and stuffed inside a large piece of bread. Fans of this fast-food can have a blast in Eminönü, on the shore next to the Galata Bridge.
