After going to the British Museum on Monday, we stopped for lunch at Tas, an Anatolian Turkish restaurant that sits just along the street from the museum!
I was eager to try some of the food available, as it would count towards another goal on The List (also, I was hungry!)
043. Try foods of 5 different countries
Upon being seated, we were given bread with some kind of oil/youghurt/dill dip (tasty!) and olives (not so tasty).
Since we were short on time, we opted for some plates of meze to share:
Left to right (if I get this right having looked at their menu online): Mücver (courgette and goat's cheese fritters), Börek (filo pastry with feta and spinach), Icli Köfte (lamb and walnut kofte) and Zetinyagli bakla (broad beans).
Though it wasn't cheap, it was tasty and filling, and a nice treat for a day out!
I know that Turkey has a really diverse range of traditional food beyond meze, and Tas certainly had a lot of choices on their menu, but this was a nice way to sample what the cuisine has to offer!
