'I flew to Turkey for Salt Bae steak and still saved money'

A Brit flew to Turkey and bought a meal from Salt Bae's restaurant for less than the price of his cheapest steak in the UK. Callum Ryan, 23, saw that the cheapest steak on offer at Salt Bae's UK restaurant was a thinly sliced wagyu striploin for £95.

He wondered if he could get it cheaper at the original restaurant in the same chain, based in Istanbul. He booked a flight from Luton Airport to Istanbul with Wizz Air - costing him £17.99.

Once he landed in Istanbul, Callum went to Salt Bae's Nsr-Et Steakhouse and ordered a New York steak, fries, chill sauce, coca-cola and a dessert for £57.95. In total, he spent £75.93 - which is £19.07 cheaper than the UK price.

Callum, a content creator, from Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, said: "The food was unreal, it was the best steak I have ever had. I will definitely be going back, the steak itself was worth it alone.

"I think I would rather take the trip to Istanbul if the food there is as good as the London restaurant to get a weekend out of it. I wouldn't be rushing to his UK restaurant in a hurry."

In May, Callum flew to Portugal and bought peri peri chicken all for less than £15 - cheaper than the cost of his usual Nando's order. He also flew to Spain for a three-day holiday for less than £100 all in.
