Saltbae Burger, a brand owned by Turkish chef and entrepreneur Nusret Gökçe, has announced the opening of its restaurant at iGA Istanbul Airport.
This marks a significant milestone in the brand’s initiatives to extend its global footprint within the next three years, leading up to 2026.
Situated in the airport’s premium area, Saltbae Burger will operate 24/7, offering its distinctive burgers, snacks, and beverages.
The restaurant brand said in a statement, “Saltbae Burger’s menu will elevate the dining experience throughout the airport and make the food quality that Nusr-Et is well known for accessible to a more mainstream audience.
“Whether in a hurry or seeking a moment of indulgence, the inviting bar and seating area accommodate every pace. Crafted with the finest ingredients and offering tantalising bites, Saltbae Burger’s commitment to excellence is evident in every dish.
“Chef Nusret Gökçe’s dedication to culinary brilliance shines through, with every aspect of the burger menu creating a memorable dining experience.”
Nusret Gökçe is also the proprietor of the Nusr-Et Steakhouse brand.
Nusr-Et Steakhouse is established both in the United States and various other regions worldwide.
It runs 29 establishments spanning seven countries and 13 cities, including Abu Dhabi, Ankara, Beverly Hills, Bodrum, Boston, Dallas, Dubai, Istanbul, Las Vegas, London, Miami, Mykonos, and Riyadh.
The Guardian reported that in June 2023, the Saltbae Burger in New York City closed its doors, only three years after its initial opening.
The restaurant commenced operations in Manhattan in February 2020, mere weeks before the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.
