Mövenpick opens Ramadan

Mövenpick Hotel Istanbul brings a distinctive Ramadan “iftar” buffet, inspired by traditional Turkish cuisine and Ottoman imperial cooking, to the accompaniment of live “fasıl” music between July 9 and Aug. 7.

AzzuR Restaurant welcomes the Sultan of 11 Months in traditional Ottoman style with a buffet prepared by Executive Chef Giovanni Terracciano and his team.

The fare features a wealth of “iftar” appetizers, Ramadan pide bread, olive oil dishes, stuffed chicken, tas kebab with “beğendi” aubergine purée, lamb shashlik, Turkish-style mantı ravioli and all of Ramadan’s sweetest tastes, like güllaç, oven baked gum mastic pudding and walnut-stuffed figs. For a refreshing finish to an outstanding meal, you can also enjoy the gourmet flavors of Mövenpick ice cream.

These menus are an ideal way to celebrate this most joyous month with your staff and business associates at a private banquet.

Mövenpick Hotel’s Ramadan buffet, worthy of the sultans, is 92 Turkish Liras per person. For reservation please call 0212 319 29 29, or visit www.moevenpick-hotels.com/istanbul
