Overview

We can all go to the best breakfast places in Istanbul, which offer amazing menus with various delicious dishes. But we want to introduce something new; we want to show how we, the local people of Turkey, live.

Just like families, friends in Turkey would invite each other for breakfast and spend a morning together, we want to have you over at our home as our friends. We want to show you Turkish hospitality. But we want to do this by teaching how to make a typical Turkish breakfast. That way, you will be able to bring this culture wherever you want.

We want to learn your culture and teach ours. That makes us different.

What Can You Expect?

The variety in the world keeps us excited to learn more.

When we travel, we eat, and most of us love trying new things and new tastes. Everybody knows that Turkish cuisine is very authentic and nice to experience. However, something in Turkish cuisine comes up uniquely as being very rich: Turkish breakfast.

Traditional Turkish breakfast has many hot meals such as Menemen, Muhlama, Gözleme, Börek, Omlet, and Sucuk (Turkish Pepperoni), as well as cold items such as various cheeses, olives, sauces, vegetables, honey, jams and milk cream (Kaymak).

What makes this experience unique is that we want to introduce Turkish home culture, which comes with great connections and bonds. We want to invite you to our home as our friends, and we want to do this by teaching you how to prepare a homemade Traditional Turkish Breakfast. In other words, we want to show you a typical Turkish morning with a typical Turkish breakfast.

Come to our home, be our guest, and let's learn, cook, and create together. Come as a guest, leave as a friend!

    Aysu has been a great chef and a wonderful friend.The moment we met her we did not even feel for a second we are meeting her for the first time. She took us so welcomingly to the local markets of Besiktas for buying the groceries for our breakfast while she also elaborated so minutely about various products we were buying for cooking the breakfast. She made the amazing and delicious 😋 turkish breakfast from menemen too ....for us while chit chatting along with us about the delicacies and culture of the Turkish food. She has been one the close bond between us and the lokal bond.She made us feel so homely that due to her we were so comfortable meeting the other family members of lokal bond. We really enjoyed the amazing food with the company of the lokal band group and homely feeling while exchanging thoughts and views about our cultures. We would always recommend lokal bond and Bawer to our friends to feel the touch of Turkish culture whenever they travel to Turkey 😃

    We really wanted to immerse ourselves in Turkish culture and step outside the normal tourist experience! We love Turkish food and I love to cook! This was perfect! The tour operator calls it a community and that is exactly how it feels. Before, during and after communication was brilliant, a ride to the experience was organised for us a couple of days prior when we decided it would be tough for us to get there easily early in the day and reached out to them and it was sorted straight away- no problem! The experience itself felt like making new friends, as well as making and enjoying wonderful food! We stayed to chat after as-well and share stories and travel tips! This was an authentic experience that we really enjoyed and everyone should experience this! The tours that lokal bond offer is like no other tour group- to experience real Istanbul with locals! When we return to Istanbul we will definitely be booking about experience with them!

    This was a great way to experience a Turkish breakfast and learn how it is made. It was also a great chance to talk to both people who live locally and others who were visiting (and their cat Petra!). It was a very inviting and delicious experience.

    Such a nice experience helping Aysu make some breakfast dishes. She was great host and we had lots of laughs as well! The food was delicious and we enjoyed conversation with whole family. This was top experience we’ve had on our numerous trips to Istanbul.
