Kebapçı İskender, Bursa

The restaurant where İskender kebab was invented, run by the same family since 1867. İskender is döner meat sliced thin and laid over cubes of pide bread, topped with tomato sauce, with sizzling melted butter poured over at the table and served with yoghurt. It's Bursa's signature dish, and the original is still considered the best (you can find it all over Turkey, including Istanbul, but not as good).

The menu is basically İskender in different portion sizes, with a drink of ayran or şıra, a sweet grape drink. It's busy at lunchtime. Afterwards, explore Bursa's old covered bazaars, the Ulu Cami (Grand Mosque), or take the cable car up Uludağ mountain.
