This tasteful restaurant packs far more of a local flavour than most tourist-geared places in Bitez. There's a lovely courtyard setting for summer evening dining, with fine seafood (try the sea bream) and authentic meat dishes. Expect terrific live Turkish folk music three nights a week. It's a block inland from the beach.
