Turkish dining culture places great emphasis on freshness, hospitality and communal eating. A typical Turkish meal moves through meze (shared cold and hot starters), charcoal-grilled meats or seafood, and ends with tea and sweets. Breakfast is a cherished ritual of bread, cheeses, olives, eggs and jams, often enjoyed at length. Lokanta restaurants serve home-style daily specials at affordable prices, while kebab houses, pide salons and baklava shops line every high street.
