Food, history, culture, civilization, food, food and food… When Gaziantep is mentioned, the first dish that comes to mind is food. Then come together Gaziantep Cuisine how is it, What to eat in Gaziantep let's take a look at it!
Gaziantep Breakfast
I landed in Gaziantep quite early in the morning. Antep's breakfasts are famous, but not with the mixed breakfast we know. Beyran soup, katmer or cartlak kebab with… Yes, what you read is eaten for breakfast. You ate until 10-11 in the morning, otherwise you will not find it. I had planned to eat Beyran soup one morning and katmer the next for my two-day Antep trip.
Metanet Beyran Soup
As soon as you get off the plane, it is an old artisan restaurant very close to Bakırcılar Bazaar. FirmnessWe came to Even though it's 08:00 in the morning, there is almost no place to sit. Cooks and waiters are working hard. Beyran soup looks like head trotter soup made with rice and plenty of spices. This very shabby artisan restaurant is crowded with both Antep residents and tourists. People of Antep chop pita with heaped claws and eat this soup. I preferred to drink juicy water. It's a heavy breakfast for me, but definitely worth a try.
Zechariah Master Katmer
If the second morning Zechariah MasterWe went to eat Katmer in . This is another shabby dessert shop in the back streets of the bazaar. However, this place is full. Imagine that the pancake is cooked like lahmacun in a wood fire with cream and peanuts. One is comfortably enough for two people. They also recommended Katmer at Orkide Patisserie or Murat Usta, but we used our one-shot lead at Zekeriya Usta.
Gaziantep Dishes
Antep has the most diverse cuisine in Turkey. A Culinary MuseumThey also exhibit the food culture and varieties in . To try a wide variety in a short time, the people of Antep recommend that you taste everything from the tip. However, once it starts, it is not possible to pick it up and leave it.
Apart from kebabs, Antep has a thousand and one kinds of food to taste local dishes. Asina Restaurant or Yorem RestaurantThey suggested , but it wasn't the turn for all of them.
Pistachio
Pistachio is the secret of many delicious desserts in Gaziantep! Do not return from Antep without buying a souvenir pistachio that suits your heart and budget around the Almacı Market.
Gaziantep Baklava
When we say baklava, of course, the first place that comes to our mind is Gaziantep. It is unthinkable otherwise. Various sizes of baklava, of course, all with lots of cream. Imam Çağdaş is number one in baklava as well as kebabs.
Gaziantep Kebabs
People of Antep are quite used to tourists. When you say where do you recommend, two names are indispensable, and everyone has a common language.
Master Halil
Another old shopkeeper's restaurant in one of the streets behind the Zeugma Museum. Its walls are filled with photos of celebrities. Halil Usta himself greets you at the door with his large size. Rows of tables are packed again. Because it closes after 14:00, then you can't eat the famous Küşneme even if you want to. Kebabs snatched from lamb come to the table in order of plenty of salad, and lastly, küşneme… This is the closing tradition. Küşneme was made from the most valuable part of the sheep's neck. There is no price list at Halil Usta, the master looks at the type of people who come at the checkout and gives a price accordingly. If your top is neat, you are likely to get a pile.
Imam Cagdass
Imam Çağdaş's baklava is famous, it ends early. Do not wait for the last day or the last evening to get a package. Imam Çağdaş's not only baklava but also kebabs presentation and prices are very good. Lahmacun is the best Lahmacun you can eat. Start with Antep style, garlic lahmacun, ali gentle and simit kebab are must-try. Imam Cagdas is indispensable for Antep. Definitely have a meal.
Let's not be unfair, there are definitely better kebab shops, these are the most popular ones.
For me, Hatay is still number one in terms of food, while Gaziantep rightfully took the second place.
Katmerci Zekeriya Usta says: "The people of Antep think about what they will eat that day for 20 hours, and what they will eat tomorrow in the remaining 4 hours..."

When I say Hatay number 1, I keep saying sorry???? Gaziantep is included in the list of only 9 cities in the gastronomy field of UNESCO.
You reminded me that I miss Gaziantep and its food. The pictures are very nice, and so are the recommendations for people going for the first time.
As a Kayseri native, I see Gaziantep cuisine as the most beautiful cuisine in the world.
Gaziantep is one of the rare cities in the world, both with its history and its taste.
Indigenous People of Gaziantep are also very warm and hospitable. The Unexplainable Lives. We are waiting and we will do the best we can, I hope …
hello, on may 15th, we will stay with my family at the teacher's house in gıdıcem antepe (hopefully). we want to avoid places where it can be very salty. Thank you for your information, I hope we leave good memories in the light of your notes.
Thanks for the information.. The pictures are also very nice.. Beautifully reflected.. I only have one question.. We organize a special trip with a very large group to Antepe.. Can you recommend a nice, quality place where we can have breakfast?
Hello,
Groups also enter Metanet, but as you said, 30 people can be very crowded.
Magnolia patisserie (I hope I remember the name correctly, katmeri is famous) would be another place I would recommend for breakfast. Call and ask if you want.
Have a pleasant trip
I say eat a cartlak kebab from Cigerci Mustafa across Kamil Ocak Stadium 🙂
Katmer is definitely a delicious taste 🙂
You don't know how much I sighed when I saw this article and photos.
I am so glad you liked it.
I want everyone to travel and share as much as I do 🙂
lots of walks,
Elmayra
Imam Çağdaş's prices are very good and it is a must for Antep. Don't you think so???
Even though there are those who go and complain, my favorite is İmam Çağdaş.
