Restaurants in Çeşme

  1. Star Restaurant

    This Norwegian-Turkish-owned restaurant offers cosmopolitan surprises such as Hawaiian pizza and pasta carbonara alongside the gamut of steaks and lahmacun (Arabic-style pizza). The tables on the leafy cobbled square next to the church are perfect for whiling away an afternoon.

    Sahil Restaurant

    Right on the waterfront, this Mediterranean-styled place is known for its fish (though meat dishes are also good). But make sure you ask for prices in advance; for some travellers, the bill's been a nasty surprise. Barbun (red mullet) is the speciality.

    İmren Lokantası Restaurant

    Çeşme's first restaurant, opened back in 1960, is set in a bamboo-roofed atrium with a fountain and plants. It's famous locally for its traditional, high-quality Turkish food, including stews.

    Pasifik Otel Restaurant

    If you fancy a walk and some fish, head to this hotel restaurant, at the far northern end of the seafront, where you can enjoy a great fish casserole on seating overlooking a small beach.

    Tokmak Hasan'ın Yeri

    Hidden away except to those in the know, this simple place serves terrific home cooking at unbeatable prices. Head straight for the little garden at the back; it's cool and quiet and oasis-like.

    Rumeli

    Occupying an Ottoman stone house, this 65-year-old pastane (patisserie) sells great ice cream (TL1.50 per scoop) from its side window, and stocks all manner of local jams, pickles and preserves.

    Rıhtım Restaurant

    One of the touristy fish restaurants on the waterfront, Rıhtım's fish fridge and wine rack are particularly well stocked. The large dining room, proudly displaying huge empty bottles of Metaxa (a Greek spirit), has more personality than the neighbouring places.

    Ekol Restaurant

    Recommended by locals, this popular lunch spot is good for a basic feed. The diverse menu offers casseroles and curry, steaks and stroganoff, although not all dishes are always available. Mezes include the recommended patlican (aubergine) and tomatoes, and the house speciality kabak çiçeği dolması (stuffed courgette flowers).
