Casual Restaurant in Bodrum

The Cumhuriyet trattoria that has held the Michelin Bib Gourmand for Neapolitan pizza and seafood risotto since 2013

The Kızılağaç köy kahvaltısı address on the Yalıçiftlik road since 2015, with eggs from the garden coop and a kitchen run by the family that owns the land.

Built on Yalı Mevkii, a classic Gündoğan beach cafe known for its olive-oil dishes and homemade mezes.

Beach-restaurant opened in Küçükbük by Danış Ulaş in 2021; Mediterranean cooking and a natural cove.

The Bayazhan family's Antep kitchen brought to Konacık in 2021, with a stone-oven katmer line that runs year-round.

Konacık's Atatürk Bulvarı pide-and-kebap room with a buffet kahvaltı for the residential weekend, stone-oven pide and Manisa köfte, open until three.

Konacık's butcher-and-ocakbaşı pairing on Adliye Caddesi, dry-age cabinet, copper grill, the room the peninsula's chefs send their cooks for chops on a day off.

The Eskiçeşme köfte counter the marina taxi drivers still queue for, three decades into the same recipe

Akyarlar seafront fish room on Yalı Caddesi, a six-meze rakı-balık table at a price ceiling well below the bay's named rooms.

Bodrum's reference for Belgian-style pot mussels, opposite the Gündoğan harbour.

Gündoğan's stone-oven pizzeria; Avni Usta's thin crust and the village neighbourhood address.

The Aktur Tatil Sitesi residents' beach, daytime canteen, evening live music, the Bitez compound's working room.

Mantı, çiğbörek and gözleme on the Bitez village square, the breakfast room a second house cannot do without.

Yahşi-side display-on-ice fish counter, value, freshness, the working version of the Ortakent harbour template.

Yalıkavak all-day beach-to-cocktail arc, the accessible version of the chapter, without the marina markup.

Bitez seafront daytime room, shallow-water bay, kitchen-led lunch, the right answer for a long midday.

Bitez seafront beach club since 1993, the bay's longest-running daytime room, residential rather than spectacle.

An İzmir kokoreç ustası that opened in 1974 and brought the trade to Yalıkavak in 2013, the peninsula's serious answer
