Chef Can Aras's wood-fired seafood room — the most ambitious new arrival the stone village has had in a decade
Chef Ahmet Horasan's lemon-tree courtyard — Gault & Millau Türkiye 2024 Best Seafood
Ahmet Horasan runs an unassuming open-air courtyard under orange and lemon trees in the back streets of Çeşme merkez, where Gault & Millau Türkiye named his kitchen the country's Best Seafood Restaurant for 2024 and crowned the table with a Toque. The format is chef-led rather than meze-cart: shrimp tartare, raw bonito and a short, daily-rewritten list of plated fish dishes that lean modern without losing the Aegean register. It is the most contemporary serious seafood room on the peninsula.
Reservation required two weeks ahead in summer. Sit at the courtyard tables under the trees, ask the chef to send what came in that day, and let the wine list do the rest — Ahmet keeps a thoughtful Aegean cellar.
