Reading Time: 3 minutes

Creating a daily flavor route in Hatay, the city of civilizations, can be even harder than answering the childhood nightmare question "Which one of us do you like better?".

Let alone luxury venues, there is at least one unforgettable gastronomic experience in the most obscure places and even in every household. In Hatay, the most enjoyable place to eat, we tried to create a list for you, even if it was difficult. Before we move on to the place recommendations, we must warn you; do not say, "Why is this place not on this list?" because Hatay is one of those cities where you cannot finish the list when you try to make a "best of" list. So we said "One day, five flavors!" and prepared our own selection.
