Rich and very diverse, thanks to the gastronomic influences of Central Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean, Ottoman or Turkish cuisine is known for its variety of meats and fish, vegetables, pasta and, of course, for that special “sweet tooth”, which you can also try in this guide to the best Turkish restaurants in Lisbon.
Turkish cuisine is not only tasty but also reflects the country’s cultural and geographical diversity, offering a unique culinary experience that goes far beyond the famous kebabs.
The house specialties
Among the most typical dishes is the Kebab, which you can also taste in one of the spaces scattered around Lisbon. It’s one of Turkey’s most iconic dishes and basically consists of slow-roasted meat.
However, this isn’t the only delicacy you’ll taste on this list of typical restaurants. The Manti (known as Turkish ravioli), the Pide (or Turkish pizza), the Corba (a popular soup served as a starter) or the Köfte (meatballs) are also among our favorites.
When it comes to sweets, you’ve probably heard of one of the best known internationally, Baklava, a pastry made with filo pastry, crushed walnuts and honey syrup or syrup, often topped with pistachio or chocolate; or Turkish Delights (Lokum), which are small gelatinous cubes flavored with rose water or lemon, then sprinkled with sugar.
And don’t forget the most famous drinks that you can also try in these Turkish restaurants in Lisbon: the famous Turkish tea and coffee; or the Ayran, which is a refreshing drink made from yogurt, water and salt.
