Manti with Smoked Cream and Tulum Cheese
TURK Fatih TutakBomonti·$$$$
Tiny pasta parcels filled with spiced lamb, served with smoked cream sauce and crumbled aged tulum cheese, with sour cherry garnish.
Tip: This course is a master class in how to honor tradition while innovating. The manti is exactly how a Turkish grandmother would make it, but the presentation and sauce elevate it to fine dining.

Lamb meatballs cooked in a tart sour cherry sauce, balancing savory meat with bright acidity.
Tip: This dish is usually available mid-June through August when sour cherries are in season. If you visit outside these months, ask the staff what fruit-based lamb dishes are available that day.
