One of the rating guides appreciated by world gastronomy authorities Gault & Millau, presented the second selection prepared for the 2025 Turkey Guide in collaboration with Sözen Group to the attention of gastronomy enthusiasts. The awards positioned in different categories were presented to their owners in the night where local and foreign guests participated. Arzum, the Gold Sponsor of this important night, participated in the event with its multifunctional Smart Food Processor Arzum Thermogusto and OKKA Espresso stands. Here, different espresso-based coffee varieties and delicious treats prepared with Thermogusto by Arzum Corporate Kitchen Chef Murat Çakmak were served to the participants.

Arzum Board Chairman Murat Kolbaşıpresented the award to Doğuş Hospitality & Retails, which was deemed worthy of the “Best Outside Catering” award at the night.

“Together, We Will Bring Turkish Cuisine to the Position It Deserves in the Global Arena”

Kolbaşı also shared his comments about this important night; “Having gained a respected place in the world of gastronomy, the Gault & Millau Guide has become an important determinant in the world of gastronomy by taking place in countries such as Austria, Croatia, Belgium, United Arab Emirates, Italy, France, Luxembourg, Japan, Netherlands, Serbia, Switzerland, Slovenia and Germany. The fact that Turkey is among all these countries is a separate source of pride for us. In the night held here for the second time, thanks to our chefs and restaurants honored with awards in different categories, traditional Turkish flavors are heard by the whole world. As a brand, we work tirelessly to introduce Turkish cuisine and Turkish coffee to the whole world with the innovative products we produce. For this reason, we are very happy to support our chefs and restaurants by sponsoring such a night. I believe that we will reap the fruits of the collective efforts that all of us, regardless of their size, will make. Together, we will bring our cuisine to the position it deserves in the global arena.
