  1. A

    Ottoman House

    Set inside a 100-year-old stone villa that once did time as a hotel, and surrounded by lush garden, the Ottoman House is the most atmospheric eatery in Alanya. The beğendili taş kebabı (TL24), a traditional Ottoman dish of sautéed lamb served on aubergine (eggplant) purée, is testament to the creativity of the kitchen staff. Likewise the grilled fish dishes (TL20 to TL22 per person), but come on Thursday or Sunday night for an all-you-can-eat fish barbecue (TL30). Live music is performed most evenings in summer.

    Red Tower Brewery Restaurant

    It's fusion confusion at this multistorey pleasure palace at the end of the hotel strip. The ground-floor brew pub serves its own decent lager, there's an international restaurant on the 1st floor, Turkish dishes on the 3rd floor, and sushi and live guitar music at the Sky Lounge on the 6th floor. You might never leave the building.

    Mahperi Restaurant

    Quite a feat in fly-by-night Alanya, this classy waterfront fish and steak restaurant has been in operation since 1947 and offers a good selection of international dishes. The welcome is always warm.

    Gaziantep Sofrası Restaurant

    For something a little more adventurous than the standard grills and seafood, this is one of central Alanya's best options. Traditional food from Gaziantep is on offer; try the patlican kebap (fried eggplants) or the beyti sarma (spicy meatballs and flat bread).

    Köyüm Gaziantep Başpınar

    For something more adventurous than the usual grills, this is one of central Alanya's best traditional (if somewhat pricey) Turkish options. Dishes from the eastern city of Gaziantep are on offer; try the patlıcan kebabı (aubergine kebaps; TL20) or the beyti sarması (spicy meatballs wrapped in flat bread; TL23).

    Köfte D Köfte

    At the very bottom of castle hill, this is a good place for a bite before or after visiting the fortress, and open virtually round the clock. You can't miss it: a flashy yellow-and-red sign greets diners to this 'boutique' fast-food joint. Clean lines, attentive service and generous meat, rice and salad combinations are all part of the deal. Try one of the omelettes (TL6 to TL8).

  7. İskele Sofrası

    For a truly authentic Turkish seafood meal, eschew the harbour restaurants and head for this intimate little place next to the Kaptan Hotel. Run by père et fils Öz, who count six-dozen meze in their repertoire, including girit ezmesi, an unforgettable mash of feta, walnuts, olive oil and other stuff, the 'Pier Table' serves only fresh fish and shellfish. The terrace with views to the harbour is a delight.
