Istanbul's Best Charcuteries: 10 Delis to Visit

Enjoying the finest charcuteries can mean paying top dollar. We've picked the best charcuteries in the city so you don't hunt for deli pleasures in the wrong place.

Here's a mixed list of the city's best — old and new — skilled charcuteries scattered across Istanbul.

Antre Gourmet Shop

Located across from Firuzağa Kahvesi, Antre is a treasured, quaint shop for Cihangir residents. Founded in 2001 by Neşe Aksoy Biber and Berrin Bal Onur, Antre mainly features cheese varieties.

Comedus

For the past few months Comedus — Latin for 'someone with a refined palate who understands wine' — has been one of the popular venues near Pera. Like a magnet, its interior design pulls people inside.

Delicatessen

With its lunch and dinner alternatives, deli, wine cellar and bar, Delicatessen is undoubtedly the most popular venue in Nişantaşı — a place where you can find everything when it comes to charcuterie products. It won a Time Out Istanbul Eating and Drinking award for its décor the year it opened.

Delimonti

Think of Delimonti as a version of Eataly focused on Anatolian cuisine — honeycomb honey in one corner, a cold cuts section in another, and Antakya's famous bean paste called 'beton' in yet another...

Doğa Şarküteri

It's no exaggeration to call Doğa Şarküteri a lifesaver. When you're craving something in the middle of the night, Doğa Şarküteri comes to the rescue.

Eataly

The grocery section features much more than just delicatessen products. With local and imported products, it's a haven for everyone who loves food. True to Eataly's principles, the venue exudes an Italian atmosphere and radiates freshness and goodness — even knowing the mozzarella is made fresh daily on the premises is reason enough to become a regular.

Gourmet Garage

In 1998 Mehmet Kapan created Gourmet Garage, and since then it has come a long way in Istanbul, now a delicatessen chain with branches across the city. Prosciutto, bresaola, pastirma — it's all at your disposal. Alongside imported products, their house-made sausages and sucuk are very popular.

Gözde Şarküteri

Gözde Şarküteri has been the pride and joy of the Kadıköy Bazaar since 1986, offering over 1,000 types of products on its shelves and making almost 150 types of mezes every day.

Myka Charcuterie

The charming Myka Charcuterie has proven itself through its sandwiches. The Bayern sandwich features pear slices — a unique touch — complemented with mayonnaise and dil cheese, with Fleischkäse (a kind of German sausage) as its protein.

Milka Şarküteri

Milka has been serving customers since 1885 and is one of Moda's nicest charcuteries. For breakfast you can find everything imaginable, including all kinds of pastirma, dried meats, salted and smoked fish, pickled bonito, salami and ham varieties. Milka stocks imported cheeses from across Europe — especially Italy, the Netherlands and France — and many delicious mezes, all made in the deli's kitchen. It also has a rich wine cellar ranging from Öküzgözü to Kalecik Karası, and sells Swiss Lindt chocolate.
