MIAMI’S MICHELIN BIB GOURMAND AWARDED TURKISH RESTAURANT EL TURCO HAS ARRIVED IN EAST HAMPTON

A UNIQUE CULINARY EXPERIENCE IS NOW OPEN

The Hamptons are enjoying an exquisite culinary experience with the opening of the restaurant El Turco.  Truly divine and fully authentic Turkish inspired food is captivating guests out East this summer with authentic Turkish menu selections served with renowned Turkish hospitality.

El Turco East Hampton is the result of a casual meeting between one of El Turco’s founders and Frank Cilione, the longtime operator of the dual restaurant and nightlife venue on Three Mile Harbor Road in East Hampton.  Soon thereafter, Mr. Cilione hired the original El Turco founders Nurdan Gur Yuzbasioglu, Gokhan Yuzbasioglu along with developer and visionary Cagri Kanver to assist in realizing their collective vision.

Located close to the heart of East Hampton at 44 Three Mile Harbor Road, the newest El Turco has come alive in the stunningly well-designed space recently opened. El Turco has created a chef’s tasting experience that takes guests on a culinary journey with the best use of Turkish food reflective of the grand tastes and traditional expressions of the rich cultural heritage mixed with a modern presentation of bold flavors.

Created with high-quality meats, fine imported spices, and local seasonal ingredients, each dish on the menu is based on classic Turkish recipes, reimagined by the culinary team lead by Mr. Yuzbasioglu and talented Executive Chef Guney.  Many dishes originate from the Aegean and Anatolian part of Turkey, as well as special selections from the Mediterranean and South-Eastern region.

Some of signature dishes include Roasted Beet Hummus, Kopoglu, Red Lentil Balls and Armenian style Pilaki.  Main dishes that bring joy with just one bite will include such classics as Ali Nazik Kebab – a smoked pureed eggplant topped with cubes of sauteed lamb as well as a traditional Mediterranean style grilled Sea Bass.  The menu also features a variety of fresh summer salads and other tantalizing small plates such as Manti – small beef dumplings topped with garlic yogurt, sumac and dry mint.

El Turco offers a unique dining experience in the Hamptons. Every aspect of each course is rooted with the uniqueness of the incredible dishes paired with unique Turkish ingredients and flavor notes. The offerings are presented with wine pairings and cocktails to elevate the dining experience.  Guests experience a remarkable level of professional and warm service infused with Turkish cultural values of hospitality.
