Gourmet shopping in Istanbul

  1. A

    Mehmet Kalmaz Baharatçı

    One of the few shops in the Spice Bazaar that specialises in potions and lotions, this old-fashioned place sells remedies to make women younger, others to make men stronger, and a royal love potion that, we guess, is supposed to combine the two. It also stocks spices, bath accessories, teas and medicinal herbs.

  2. B

    Arslan Baharat

    A good range of spices keeps most travellers happy, but serious shoppers know that this spot has the city’s best range of rare natural aromatics such as musk and amber. It also stocks saffron at good prices.
