| Last reviewed: May 2026 Çark is tucked into a side street of central Çeşme, a few minutes from the castle and the harbour. The Michelin Guide entry calls it a family-run Turkish osteria; in practice it is a small, sharp seafood room serving fish straight off the lunchtime boat in deliberately simple preparations — grilled levrek, calamari, a tight meze list, mezeci-style cold dishes that change with the morning's market. The room is unshowy and ranks number one in town on most diner lists for a reason: the produce, the cooking and the price discipline all line up.
Editor's Tip
Ask what came off the boat that lunchtime and order it whole, grilled. The cold meze tray is the better lead-in than the warm side. Walking distance from the castle — start with a tour, end here.
