Sarıkamış
Ski
Resort
Kars and Sarıkamış offer a rich culinary landscape shaped by highland traditions, harsh winters, and a deep-rooted pastoral culture. From the world-renowned Kars gravyer and aged kashar cheeses to hearty regional specialties like kaz eti (goose) and evelik soup, the local cuisine is defined by bold, authentic flavors and time-honored techniques.
Meals are often prepared with ingredients sourced directly from nearby villages and plateaus, where animals graze freely and produce reflects the purity of the land. Whether enjoyed in a rustic village setting or a cozy mountain lodge, these dishes provide not just nourishment but a genuine taste of the region’s heritage and way of life.
