"Guided by Chef Deniz Temel, the cooking unfolds along two tracks: discovering ingredients and combining them with techniques known only to him to create something new, and deconstructing, strengthening, and recombining classical recipes using the best possible ingredients—he doesn’t reinterpret it; he makes it sing. The magic lies in precise technique and timing that bring ingredients together perfectly without altering them, sometimes turning food into a playful game through texture or a hidden message. Travel and ingredients drive the inspiration, while lessons from restaurants across Türkiye and beyond support a sustainability‑minded kitchen that researches, preserves, and constantly seeks to add value; the journey itself shapes the food stories here." - MICHELIN Guide
