Ottoman cuisine is a buried treasure, the heritage of a great empire which lasted for 700 years... A synthesis of Central Asian, Anatolian, Middle Eastern and Balkan avours. Unfortunately, very few recipes from this rich cuisine have survived due to a tradition which demanded that cooks’ guilds keep their recipes and cooking techniques secret. Here at Asitane, we have made it our mission to reintroduce the authentic Ottoman cooking to the world. Since 1991, dedicated sta have hunted down lost tastes with academic zeal. In order to try and recreate authentic Ottoman Cuisine, we have consulted a variety of sources, including the budget ledgers of the three main palace kitchens - Topkapı, Edirne and Dolmabahçe - and the memoirs of foreign diplomats and visitors. It is with great pleasure that we oer you long-forgotten dishes which we have revived based on documents that lay in palace archives for 500 years.

The dishes in the menu are prepared from these historic resources using original ingredients and cooking methods.
At Asitane, we strive to provide our guests with an authentic palate experience that does justice to the splendors of the Imperial kitchens. We are delighted to welcome you to our restaurant, where our welcoming and experienced sta will treat you to an unforgettable feast.
