The Kabak family's marina-side outpost where the day's catch is read off a board and the rakı arrives without asking
Ferdi Kabak began in 1981 with a small fish house at Aya Yorgi cove; four decades later the family runs the most reliable Aegean kitchen on the peninsula, with branches at Şifne, Çeşme Marina and here at Port Alaçatı. The marina room trades the Şifne village quietness for a wider terrace, the same fishermen and the same long mezze list — thirty hot, twenty-five cold. The Istanbul yacht crowd treats it as a canteen in August; in May and September a long lunch here is one of the better lunches on the Aegean coast.
Ask for a front pier table; let them open the day's chalkboard rather than the printed menu. The grilled octopus skewer is the house signature — order it before the mezes start arriving.
