What the creator captured
Ayaküstü Lezzetler was particularly impressed by the Sürmene pide, noting its unique 9-cheese blend and 30-year-old sourdough starter. The creator highlighted the restaurant's commitment to quality by sourcing authentic butter and cheeses directly from the Trabzon region. He was surprised by the balanced, non-salty flavor profile despite the heavy use of butter and rich local cheeses.
