Classic in Çeşme

Michelin Guide-listed family osteria a few streets from the castle, serving day-boat fish and meze without the marina markup

The 1975 Dalyan harbour fish house that defines what a Çeşme balık restoranı should taste like

Italian-leaning Mediterranean kitchen on the cape, pasta, wood-fired pizza and Aegean fish in a room engineered for long sea-view dinners

Since 1993, the fishing-harbour family room that defined Port Alaçatı before the marina arrived around it

The original Şifne address of the Kabak fish dynasty, the quiet one, where the locals still go

Sertan's small seafood room on the Yıldızburnu cape, water-edge tables, sharp kitchen, prices that still make sense by Çeşme standards

Roberto Fracasso's Hacımemiş courtyard, the only Alaçatı oven where the pizzaiolo is actually Italian

The Yılmaz family's Çiftlikköy seafront since 2009, the quietest Çeşme fish table looking across to Sakız
