Asitane Restaurant Istanbul, situated right next to the Chora Museum – the city’s major historic stop, invites you to taste the unique flavor of the Ottoman Palace Cuisine with its exclusive recipes. For more than 25 years, Asitane serves imperial Ottoman cuisine, incorporating Central Asian, Anatolian, Middle Eastern and Balkan flavours, resulting from the intensive research undertaken at the palace kitchens of Topkapi and Edirne to test and recreate long-forgotten imperial dishes, whose recipes had been kept secret by tradition.
