Alancha Istanbul

Coastal culinary master brings his talent to the city

Windsurfing champion Kemal Demirasal made waves in the seaside resort of Alaçatı with his farm-to-table restaurant. His smart new Istanbul outpost pays homage to Turkey’s cosmopolitan culinary heritage. Iced puffed-wheat soup, Bosnian jerky with truffle cream and sea bass with garum and samphire are standouts. The philosophy: “Cooking as a process is where we put our creativity into an analytic form of art,” says Demirasal.
