Manav

Again between the streets you'll meet Manav (green grocer) who sell fruits-vegetables. You can consider them as fruit, vegetable-selling bakkals. Bakkal, Manav and Kasap are the people who know the district best. Keep in mind that shopping at Manav is with terms of kilograms while you may buy fruits and vegetables by pieces at markets. For exotic food we recommend you to try supermarkets.

Dear Member, Leek is “poireau” in French. However if you click on the French flag sign at the left side of mymerhaba home page you can reach the French version of the site where you can find any information in French. Enjoy surfing at mymerhaba.com.
