Vira's Restaurant

Vira's runs the Yahşi seafront on Bitirak Sokak as the restaurant side of the same-name boutique hotel — a beach-facing room with sand-edge outdoor tables, the Travelers' Choice ranking that put it second of thirty-four Ortakent restaurants in the most recent year, and a card that reads broader than the bay's other beach kitchens: Turkish kebab and pide, Aegean fish and meze, steak with house sauces, pizza, with full bar service running through the late-night hour. Friday evenings programme live music as the bay's working-week alternative to the Yahşi family pattern. The hotel-restaurant pairing keeps the kitchen open through dinner without the broken hours the bay's stand-alone rooms run; the price register sits well below the Yalıkavak or Türkbükü destination tables.
