Table Setting and Customs

The ancient Turkish table had a specific order and etiquette. Every meal was prepared with great care in terms of both visual appeal and taste. This table arrangement aimed to foster hospitality and the enjoyment of meals in a communal and shared atmosphere. Just like in the palace kitchen, Turkish dishes were usually eaten together, strengthening the tradition of dining in a group.

Sharing the Meal
In the ancient Turkish table, meals were always shared. Turkish cuisine encourages spending time with family or friends, gathering around the table, and enjoying meals together. Münhani Istanbul highlights this aspect of Turkish cuisine, emphasizing the importance of coming together around the table. In Istanbul restaurants, meals are often served in shared plates, maintaining the traditional habit of sharing food.

A Polite Invitation to the Table
In the ancient Turkish table tradition, guests were always invited to the table in a polite manner before sitting down. This invitation, as part of Turkish culinary culture, was made with respect and courtesy.
