Everyone knows that Turkish breakfast is one of the most famous and delicious morning traditions in the world. It’s not just a meal it’s a social ritual, a time to gather, and a feast that brings people together. Instead of just tasting it at a restaurant, why not experience it the way locals do? 🍳
We’d love to welcome you into our home to cook, eat, and enjoy a real Turkish breakfast, just like friends and family do in Turkey. Together, we’ll prepare a spread of traditional dishes, including sizzling Menemen (eggs with tomatoes and peppers), Muhlama (a rich, cheesy dish from the Black Sea), and eggs with Sucuk (spiced Turkish sausage). Alongside these, we’ll enjoy fresh cheeses, olives, homemade jams, honey with Kaymak (Turkish clotted cream), and warm, sesame-crusted Simit—all while sharing stories, sipping tea, and soaking in the warmth of Turkish home hospitality. 💌
But this isn’t just about food—it’s about connection. In Turkey, breakfast is an occasion, a time for laughter, conversation, and enjoying the simple pleasure of good company. We want you to experience this tradition firsthand, not just as a visitor, but as a friend. 🍽️
So, come join us for a homemade Turkish breakfast, a meal filled with endless flavors, warm hospitality, and the kind of moments that make travel unforgettable. If you're wondering what are the best things to do in Istanbul, this is an experience that will leave you with a full belly, a happy heart, and a true taste of Turkish culture to take home with you. 🧡

The hosts were very kind and helpful, they kept contact with me during my trip to their home to ensure that I took the correct public transport. In addition to prepare delicious food, the conversation was very interesting as they told me about their culture and customs. They invited some friends and family to share the meal and it was a real ‘local’ experience. It was the most fun experience I had on my trip to Istanbul and I would recommend it to anybody who want to experience the heart of Turkiye. It was the highlight of my tour.

Aysu is a great host. She is a very talented cook and a great instructor. I was so happy to join her and witness the local life at her home with a closer look. The community Aysu is in, LokalBond offers authentic home-hosted experiences. I suggest anyone who travels to Istanbul to join Aysu or try other LokalBond experiences to be a part of real, local life of Istanbul, to be a traveler instead of a tourist 🫶
