Sylvain

Matbah Restaurant

The Ottoman Empire reigned over expansive territories for centuries and co-existed with many nations and cultures. The Ottomans have enriched Ottoman Cuisine, synthesizing all the cultures they encountered, in order to engender a unique taste of its own, in the course of time. Several cuisines, derived from Central Asia, the Balkans, the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and Europe, have been the principal contributors to Ottoman Cuisine. This cuisine proceeded mostly in the kitchens of the Ottoman Palace and therefore, the palace has turned out to be a unique place to grasp its tastes in full. Unfortunately, this magnificent cuisine has lost some of its unique flavors nowadays, since the guild of the palace cooks kept their recipes as professional secrets.

 

Following long and professional research conducted at the palace libraries, in favor of the books and documents written by palace historians and guild of cooks (who had preferred to share their experiences instead of keeping them private); we, Matbah Restaurant, benefited from all these documents and recipes in order to prepare a selective and unique menu, which comprises twenty-seven outstanding dishes from Matbah-ı Beray-i (Kitchen of Sultan's Palace) for your exclusive taste. All dishes served are sampled, improved, and adapted to the criteria we meticulously implement these days. Moreover, we gave heed to all the utmost details regarding Ottoman-style cooking. The stunning recipes have been finalized and added to our selective menu, subsequent to exquisite practice and efforts. The Ottoman grandeur and hospitality, prevailing at 'Matbah', is welcoming the exclusive guests and gourmets who savor it, in the comfort of a vibrant ambiance, at different seasons, throughout the year.
