Subscribe to Taste Istanbul.

One email a week. A new district guide, a venue we just added to the app, the dish we ate last Sunday. Free, and written like a friend who lived in Istanbul for twenty years.

What you'll get

• One email every Sunday. Editorial, not promotional. Roughly 600–800 words. Read in five minutes.
• An immediate gift. The moment you confirm, we'll send you a printable PDF field card — The 10 dishes you must eat in Istanbul — organised by district, ready for the inside cover of your travel notebook.
• One new district guide each week. Long-form, hand-curated, no paid placements. Read them at /istanbul or get them straight in your inbox.
• Occasional venue notes. When we find or remove a place we think you should know about, you hear it here first.

Subscribe

We'll email you to confirm your subscription. The PDF arrives in the welcome email immediately afterwards.

How we treat your email

Your address is stored at Buttondown, our newsletter provider, and is used only to send you this newsletter. There are no tracking pixels in our emails.

You can unsubscribe with one click at the bottom of every email, and we won't ask why.

What we are

Taste Istanbul is the hand-curated walking food guide to Istanbul — sixteen tours and 230+ vetted venues across ten historic districts. The newsletter is the place we publish before the app or the website does, and where the editor (still just one person, still in Istanbul) writes a little less formally than a published guide allows.
