Time Out magazine, organized the third annual 101 Tastes of Istanbul Festival (in turkish,101 Lezzet Festivali) on Sunday, April 26, at Sait Halim Pasha Mansion (in turkish, Sait Halim Paşa Yalısı) in Yeniköy

​

101 Istanbul hosted the city’s food lovers and Time Out readers. Leading food and beverage community was also attended…

However, there were special cooking events, speakers, and also live broadcasts…

 

Sadly, I must say that I was a little disappointed with the festival of this year.

​

“Taste of 101 Festival” was super crowded and Mansion was small place. So I couldn’t move away from the crowded to take photos!

Despite the crowds I have enjoyed my visit to the festival. Food Festival was an opportunity to get together with gourmets.

I would like to thank chefs who did such a wonderful foods…
