- Miam Restoran in Türkbükü for a fancy meal by the sea.
- Kavaklı Köftecisi in Yalıkavak for a laidback, no-frills Turkish meal – a favourite of locals. Don’t forget to try köfte (meatballs) and lavaş (a delicious, puffy bread served piping hot), with a side of piyaz (beans with onion, parsley and sumac).
