"Everything gets pickled in Turkey: cucumbers, green tomatoes, chiles, cabbage, beets, carrots, okra, garlic, plums — the list goes on. The pickles are paired with meat, stews, and fish, while the pickle juice makes a refreshing drink. Petek Turşuları excels at both: Alternate sips of your preferred pickle juice with bites of the shop’s crunchy, salty, sour pickles while admiring the colorful jars that surround you. Bottoms up!" - Tuba Şatana
I am pickle lover so this place was obviously amazing! I was so glad I remembered seeing this place from social media before I left Istanbul! I got a mixed bag of pickles to take home and also got some pickles to eat right there. It was amazing! The shop keeper is also so kind and patient. I wish I lived here I would come here every week!! 😭😭 PICKLE PARADISE 🥒✨️

The best pickle store in Istanbul by far. Would stop by there every morning for pickles and pickle juice. If you haven’t tried pickle juice you are missing out on a wonderful probiotic and energy boosting drink. The staff is super friendly and we quickly became friends. This is a must visit location if you are in Istanbul.

A hidden gem. Amazing pickles, and spicy vegetable juices. If you want to taste traditional Turkish spicy juices, this is the spot!

Pickles for the pickled (lots of nearby watering holes). You can get a mixed cup of pickled cucumbers/onion/carrot, etc. Try it! This place is really popular with the locals who come here to fill up their larder. I will definitely come back here.
I found this on a tour with the fantastic guide by the name if Katerina. Check out the Culinary Backstreets Tour of Istanbul.
