A journey from farm to table, with zero waste and respect for nature, defines the gastronomic experience at The BARN!
It all began with the construction of a home for our horse Veroni, back when the farm was first established.
Nestled amidst our vegetable and fruit gardens, vineyard, and orchard, stood a stone building—the heart of our farm—named The BARN since that day.
Our old barn has transformed over time into a winery, stone oven, kitchen, and hearths, becoming the gathering place for the most delicious meals, serving as the farm’s culinary center.
For years, our harvest has been cooked and enjoyed here, grapes picked from the vineyard are pressed and processed, filling our glasses with wine, and the aroma of meats cooked with rosemary and thyme in the stone oven wafts throughout the entire farm from here.
Our commitment to sustainability, from farm to table, and our zero waste approach invite you to an experience at The BARN where every bite is not only delicious but also environmentally friendly.
We grow the vegetables and fruits that grace our kitchen from heirloom seeds in our garden, carefully separating them from the soil just before processing. Our meats and dairy products come from the pastures of the Trakya region, seafood from the Silivri port, herbal teas from the aromatic herbs in our garden, vinegar from our apple trees, and our wine and molasses from our vineyard.
Our menu changes meticulously based on what the garden and the region have to offer.
the CHEF
Chef Buğra Özdemir, whom we bid farewell to new adventures from The BARN in 2019, returned to the farm after five years.
Buğra Özdemir, who completed his master’s degree in sustainability on top of his degree in Gastronomy and Culinary Arts, has made beautiful projects on zero waste kitchens at Michelin-starred restaurants in Copenhagen and during this time, he wrote his master’s thesis on the ‘Green Michelin Star’.
He also was invited to the Mad Academy, which provides education on sustainability.
And his zero waste-themed dinner attracted great attention at the special invitation of the Danish ambassador in September 2022.
Buğra Özdemir who also loves to work on food and wine pairings, returned back to complete his unfinished story at Grandma’s Wonderland, to add Nordic touches to our traditional flavors with the experience and innovative techniques he brought from Denmark, and to offer sophisticated dining experiences to his guests at his beloved home.
We look forward to sharing this gastronomic adventure with you, which tells the story of the fusion of luxury and sustainability, and reflects our passion and dedication to the culinary arts in every dish.
