⚠️ One useful tip when ordering
In Turkey, a dish described as “vegetable” or “meat-free” isn't necessarily vegan. Butter, dairy products, eggs or meat stock may still be used. At restaurants serving mixed menus, tell the staff that you eat no animal products and ask about the ingredients before ordering.
Menus can change, so checking the latest information before your visit is always a good idea. 🌱
