Hands down the best seafood meal I had while visiting Alacati and Cesme. Just to give you a little…read morebackground on this place, the chef's family who operates the restaurant used to have a fish market in Cesme, their entire family being made of fisherman who would go out and catch all the fish in the morning to sell in the fish market. The chef started to cook a few fish here and there for some of the customers of the fish market and the people loved it so much that the chef opened a tiny restaurant by the sea in Cesme which only sat around 4 groups of people. Fast forward a few years and the restaurant gained a ton of popularity to the point where the restaurant was constantly getting 3 stars (out of 3) in Turkey's gastronomy review book. Once this happened the restaurant soared in popularity and so they opened a larger restaurant in the heart of Cesme. The popularity of this restaurant is rooted in the amazing and tasty food it produces. The chef, coming from a fishing background, knows how to execute a seafood dish to perfection. The signature dish of this restaurant is a mixed seafood pasta which I would 100% recommend getting. The portion is HUGE so I would recommend splitting it with one (or two) other person. I shared my seafood pasta dish with my mom and we still couldn't finish the dish (and I eat a lot of food!!). I think the best option when coming here is to order some mezze dishes and then either a pasta dish or a grilled fish dish depending on your party size. The one other notable appetizer we had was the grilled calamari. I was so thankful to have finally had some calamari which didn't taste like rubber (a lot of restaurants have a tendency to overcook calamari). This restaurant is on the pricier side, the seafood pasta dish set me back 90 liras but with the USD to Lira conversion rate it's a very reasonable price (by NYC standards) for the quality and quantity of food you are getting. If you're in the high season which is June - August I would definitely recommend making a reservation in advance. The first time we called they were booked solid for the next 3 days so we had to come in on a Monday night when it was less crowded.

They make several mezzes and salads which are served by the portion so you choose as few or as many as you. They also have some meat entrees like kofte and lamb. We chose 4 different mezzes and a portion of lamb to share. Everything was delicious, the food was so flavorful. It's difficult to pick any particular item to highlight because they were all so but the pumpkin, the stuffed grape leaves and the lamb definitely are a must! The taste of homemade food comes across with every bite from beginning to end. They open for lunch from 2-5pm only, not sure if these are the hours all year round or only in the summer. The tables are all outdoor in their garden which adds a relaxing atmosphere to the dining experience.

Try their Mezes at night like octopus dishes. You pick and choose from their fresh catch of the day and they cook it for the table. The tree in the middle of the garden is super pretty.

This is my go-to spot in Izmir when I can't make it to Karacasu or Nazilli. Prices are reasonable,…read morethough the portion sizes feel a bit small to me--although I know this is the standard for Turkish servings. Orders are prepared quickly, but their ticketing system could be improved, as it seems like it could cause confusion during busy times. The real star here is their tahinli pide. It's something I crave the most, and you simply can't find it done right in other cities like Ankara or Istanbul unless you're in Aydın. This place nails it every time--perfectly baked with the right balance of tahini sweetness and soft, warm bread. I always order a few and enjoy them during my visits. This spot was originally recommended to me by a friend, and I'd definitely recommend it to others as well.
