ABOUT THE CHEF

Emir Kaan spent his childhood in his grandfather's restaurant in Kilyos, Istanbul. Watching the men in his family at work in the kitchen, he grew up admiring their skill and discovered his passion for food at an early age. After gaining experience at excellent restaurants in Türkiye and around the world, he is now kitchen coordinator at three popular Istanbul venues at the same time.

Coming to Ankara for this project after 15 years, the chef presents a special menu: a starter inspired by Sunday family picnics, his favourite cheeseburger, and rice pudding, his childhood love, all interpreted with years of experience.

“Inspired by the past, on a timeless journey…”
