Local before arrival
In Western Europe, chicken is a main course and always eaten as a savory meal. In Turkey, however, there is tavuk göğsü: a pudding-like dessert made with chicken. The trick is to prepare the dish so you can’t taste the meat. Saray Muhallebicisi has mastered the art of making tavuk göğsü and has been serving it for decades. If you don’t feel adventurous enough to try the traditional desserts, it’s fine to stick to the main dishes—they are fantastic as well.
