Taste of Tulum Menu - the flavours of Turkiye

Tulum Restaurant redefines modern Turkish dining with imaginative flair and deep respect for tradition. Chef Coskun Uysal transforms the bold flavors of his Istanbul heritage into stunning, seasonal creations. Begin your meal with fresh, wood-fired sourdough pide before diving into an exciting menu of vibrant small plates and shared dishes - you’ll feel like this little restaurant in Balaclava has transported you to Türkiye. I have booked for 6 Fine Diners to enjoy the Taste of Tulum set sharing menu at $110 per person for dinner from 6.30pm on Wednesday 14 October. Check out the Taste of Tulum menu here - https://www.tulumrestaurant.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/TULUM-SET-MENU-08.09.26.pdf (please note that menus can change without notice). Join the waitlist to express interest. After the first day or so of posting, once I have names in the waitlist, I’ll send you a ‘Meetup Message’ to confirm you have a spot and how to pay. You’ll need to send me $75 to secure your place (equivalent to the cancellation fee - this will be deducted from your bill when we settle up). Once paid I’ll move you from the waitlist to ‘Attending’. As these are small group events, there are often more Fine Diners interested than there are seats available. My approach to hosting an event is to share seats around amongst members of the group in as fair a manner as I can, including mixing Fine Diners regulars with newcomers. Please be respectful if there are events when you miss out on a spot. I will always message you so you know if you have secured a seat or are still waitlisted in case a seat opens up. Please check that you don’t have your settings blocking messages; if I can’t contact you, I’ll have to move on to the next person. Also if you don’t respond to my message offering you a spot within 3 days, I’ll let you know that I’m offering the seat to another person on the waitlist. 

Thanks Fine Diners and I look forward to enjoying a Turkish feast with you!
