Why Meze Matters: The Story Behind Türkiye’s Small Plates

In Turkish culture, meze isn’t a starter, it’s the start of everything. Before the mains, before the decisions, the table fills with small dishes. A bit of this, a bit of that. Hummus, aubergine, olives, fresh bread.

 

It’s not about showing off. It’s about sharing. About making space for everyone around the table.

 

At Gökyüzü, we serve meze the same way we grew up eating it. Simple, generous, and made to bring people together.

 

No need to choose. Just try it all — that’s what it’s there for.
