I have a habit of not leaving my favorite places and treating them as my second home and being able to spend my time there from morning to night.. If I like a place, I don’t look for a new place.. As a discovery enthusiast, you must have guessed how important this statement is.. Especially if it is on my way, it means that the place I will go without leaving the house has already chosen itself.. Now I’m one step beyond that. Now, I realized that I feel unhappy when I don’t stop by during the day.. Do you have such a place? I have. If you haven’t been so far, now is your time to meet: Plus Kitchen
Maybe it’s my nose. If it had not been for UNIQ Istanbul, our paths would have crossed much later with Plus Kitchen.. For example, one evening after work, I met my friend at Zorlu Center.. While I was wandering around looking for where to eat, my friend said that he saw a very cute concept place on his way to me, but he couldn’t remember the name.. Since it was hard to go back and search for the place, I said never mind, let’s eat somewhere else.. I missed it. A few days passed, I saw that such a sweet place was opened in Foods in the Woods, the food department of UNIQ Istanbul, where our office is located.. I’m from the Aegean, I don’t like complicated dishes. Especially at noon, there will be fresh things on my plate for sure.. There was a place just for me, finally, I decided to have lunch here.. Turns out, this is Plus Kitchen, the place in Zorlu where my friend told us to go.
This is a fresh, green and green place with fit options for those who love natural food.. All meals are stored and served in healthy glass jars.. Moreover, you can take these jars and containers with food and drinks home in your green fabric bundles after your meal is finished.. This issue aside, every single food of Plus Kitchen is always fresh in this way.. At first, I wrapped it in supersonic salads that fit the latest food trends.. Although quinoa is my favourite, I loved the grilled vegetables and mozzarella options.. Except those; There are also salads with smoked salmon, beetroot, chicken and cereals, which are especially preferred by vegans.. Prices vary between 11-14.5 TL depending on the content.. Later, I started to look at other alternatives such as sandwiches, wraps, soups and appetizers.. This place has a roasted eggplant soup that when you open the lid of the bowl, it’s like it’s not a soup.. It smells like they are still roasting the eggplant.. Not everyone likes it, but I highly recommend their mushroom soup.. It’s like the best and most calorie-free one I’ve had lately.. Prices are between 7-8 TL. On days when I have soup, I also take Quinoa Tabule with it.. A great duo for those who like to eat lightly, let me tell you.
While we’re talking about appetizers, continue here let’s. Quinoa Tabule is my favourite, but the brisket and Coriander Green Lentils are also very good. If there is a Plus Kitchen near you and you are preparing to set up a good raki table at home in the evening, my suggestion is; You can buy your appetizers from here, with prices ranging from 7.5 to 9 TL per jar.. I am lucky that I have a Plus Kitchen both in front of my office and in Zorlu Center right next to my house.. Instead of a supermarket appetizer on New Year’s Eve, I suggest you try the Eggplant Muhteber, Coriander Green Lentil and Olive Oil Quince I bought here.
Good news for those who are on a diet. I would like! Because; Sugar-free dessert options await you here.. I can hear you asking how is sugar-free dessert?. Agave syrup is used instead of sugar in some desserts of Plus Kitchen, such as pudding.. Perfect for sweet cravings. Besides our bonus of agave syrup, their cakes are made from whole wheat flour. It is invaluable happiness to see that their huge puffed cakes are low in calories.. Speaking of dessert, it goes well with you.. I’ve become a person who doesn’t drink tea in the office from coming here to drink tea. If you go, try the green tea too.. They serve it in a porcelain teapot, 4 TL. As an alternative to tea, they also have americano, latte, cappuccino and mocha.. More suitable for the palate and 5 TL. Their coffee is not very strong; Therefore, if you want to sober up, I suggest you choose two shots of espresso in your Americano.. It goes very well on top of food, too
I haven’t tried it yet, but my drinking friends say their lemonade is also very successful.. When the summer comes and the strawberries increase, they make pink and pink strawberry lemonades.. Not much in winter; because it is not possible to find meals and drinks with seasonal vegetables and fruits here.. It comes out a little bit, it ends soon. I said that; everything natural, everything fresh. When someone asks what you think of Plus Kitchen, the first thing I would say is; This is the freshest place I’ve been to lately.. One of the things that motivates me most about this place is all the flavors are very close to my mother’s and grandmother’s food.. So that nothing I taste is foreign. I love it more and more.
Plus Kitchen’s decoration is natural like its food.. Your serving trays are wooden cases and your cutlery is not metal.. There is also that option for those who want it, but next to glass plates, wooden solutions are served.. The tables are wooden, the glasses are glass, the napkins are in the form of handkerchiefs and the paper ones are of course made of 100% recycled material.. In the middle of the cafes, sweet or sweet options suitable for the concept of this place are offered for sale.. Plates and cups specially designed for this place, made of enamel, which is considered the healthiest material, colorful mugs made of special plastic used for babies, #kendinyap cookie mortars, mother hand marmalades, natural chocolates and many more.
Finally, let me talk about #makeyourself concepts. Plus Kitchen, which has adopted the idea of ”do it yourself” (DIY) in English, organizes natural life-themed workshops from time to time.. If you follow it, it is very possible to find yourself making your own soap one day, and the other day making a lamp for your home from the glass jar of the salad you just ate.. To speak for myself, I renovated my entire kitchen and straightened my dowry with the glass jars and plates that I eat and eat and carry home.. Now it’s time to prepare glass flower pots and make glass lamps for my window.. Come on then, you’re closest to Plus Kitchen, and I’m yours to new works with the concept of #do-it-yourself!
