Treats that add flavor to the excitement of watching on screen. 

At the event, which brought together sports and food enthusiasts, street food and quick snacks added a special touch to the excitement of watching the match on screen. Special stands set up in the venue offered Taco Al Pastor, hamburgers, and the beloved traditional Turkish dish, döner kebab, providing guests with a memorable experience. Truffle-flavored popcorn, a must-have for watching the match, the traditional classic çiğ köfte (raw meatball), and innovative snacks like crispy chicken "bun" with Far Eastern influences were other highlights of the menu. One of the most popular and sought-after spots of the evening was the special hot dog stand from bonVeno, Metro Türkiye's next-generation retail initiative. The "bonVeno Hot Dog," Metro's innovative venture combining a market and food and beverage experience, quickly became iconic and received high praise from guests as one of the most special treats to complement the match excitement. The evening concluded with a sweet finale featuring street food offerings that evoked a nostalgic feel. Metro Türkiye's own-brand refreshing drinks complemented both these flavors and the excitement of the match.
