What to see in Turkey
Where to eat in Ankara: flavours that tell the story of the Turkish capital
To really understand Ankara’s cuisine, you need to lose yourself in its markets. The Ulus Bazaar, one of the city’s oldest, offers a rich display of spices, dried fruit and nuts and local cheeses that reflect the diversity of Anatolia. Among the most prized products are tulum peyniri, a mature sheep’s cheese, and Gemlik black olives, known for their intense flavour. Another fascinating stop is Çıkrıkçılar Yokuşu Market, where alongside antiques and textiles, you’ll find stalls selling local delicacies like sucuk (spicy sausage) and pastırma (spiced cured meat). At Maltepe Bazaar, which leans more towards food, the bakeries sell the legendary simit, sesame-crusted bread rings that locals enjoy with black tea at breakfast. The markets aren’t just a treat for the senses, they also let visitors take home a piece of Ankara in the form of spices, sweets or handmade products.
