Beyti is a restaurant in Istanbul, Turkey specialising in roasted meat. It was founded in 1945 in Küçükçekmece and has been situated since 1983 in Florya. The establishment is owned by the restaurateur Beyti Güler and run by him together with his sons Cüneyt and Ahmet. The main dining room, with a total capacity of 500 seats,〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=ArchNet Digital Library )〕 offers traditional Turkish cuisine and various kebabs grilled over oak charcoal. Beyti kebab, a specialty named after the chef, is the most popular. Beyti is a member of the prestigious international gastronomic organization Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs.〔 ==Background== Beyti Güler is a descendant of Turkic people who fled from Samarkand to Crimea in the 1720s after the assault of Persians. In the 1870s, following the Crimean War the family moved to Dobruja in Romania. The family immigrated in 1935 to Turkey.〔 In 1945 Beyti and his father opened a small roadside meat restaurant of 30 m² with four tables in the suburbs of Istanbul. The restaurant, though it only had 20 seats, became a popular venue, gaining fame soon after opening. Notable journalists, top executives and even high-ranked politicians came to taste the döner kebap that was rarely available elsewhere.〔 An article published in 1965 in the ''New York Herald Tribune'' led to international fame. From 1966 to 1974, the restaurant catered daily to four Pan Am airliners. The restaurant served U.S. President Richard Nixon aboard Air Force One during his first official trip to Europe, an opportunity that helped the Turkish kebap become renowned.〔 To meet the growing demand, Beyti Güler erected a three-story building in Florya, an upscale residential neighborhood close to Atatürk International Airport. Consisting of eleven dining rooms of various sizes plus a terrace, the building was designed in a modern architectural style by Osman Yılmaz Şanlı.〔 The interior decoration was inspired by Ottoman Turkish art. Construction was begun in 1979 and the new site opened by 1983.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beyti (Istanbul)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
