Asri Turşucu Cihangir Istanbul
Nostalgic Pickle Shop
Zeynep from Istanbul
Asri Turşucu is more than just a pickle shop; it's like a community hub where food lovers & taste seekers visit and share their passion for traditional cuisine. Located in the cool neighborhood of Cihangir, Asri Turşucu is a one-of-a-kind pickle shop that is a must-visit for both locals and visitors.
Step into a historical setting that was home to a well-known classic Turkish cinema, the beloved movie "Neşeli Günler" featuring eternal artists Adile Naşit and Münir Özkul. Don't forget to pay attention to the posters from this movie at the entrance and inside the shop. Enjoy a chilled glass of refreshing pickle juice while sampling an assortment of pickles, from tangy cucumbers to zesty peppers. Each product is natural, top-notch, and a good source of probiotics.
The caring staff takes the time to explain and guide you through the extensive selection to ensure you find something that suits your taste. With reasonable prices, Asri Turşucu is accessible to all, making it a great spot to surprise yourself. Can’t visit in person? They also offer online sales, so you can enjoy their delicious pickles from the comfort of your Airbnb or hotel room.
In a world where fast food often overshadows traditional cuisine, Asri Turşucu stands as a testament to the beauty and flavor of homemade pickles. Whether you’re a pickle lover or just curious, Asri Turşucusu promises a delightful experience that’s worth a visit! Embrace the crunch, relish the tang, and fully indulge in this delightful experience!
