Defne Seda Demir

Feeding Istanbul for 34 years

  • 🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye
  • Istanbul Bakery
  • 1981 to 2015
  • English, Turkish
I run Istanbul Bakery in Istanbul. We started in 1981 with four tables and one very patient dishwasher. On Sundays I cook for anyone who turns up. I never rush a conversation. It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.

If you ate at my table, I hope you left full.
