Elbasan Tava, a lamb-based dish cooked with yogurt and flour, results in a tender and flavorful experience, reflecting the region's love for meat and dairy products combined. Balık Çorbası, or Fish Soup, made with fresh fish and aromatic herbs, is a local favorite, given Edirne's proximity to rivers.

For drinks, Hardaliye, a traditional non-alcoholic beverage made from grape juice and mustard seeds, offers a unique and refreshing taste.
