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. 🧡

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!

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!

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 😃
