İzela Restaurant

Top choice in Turquoise Coast


This lovely restaurant is located in the lush grounds of Günay's Garden, with its poolside bar for aperitifs. It specialises in Mediterranean cuisine, with more than a tip of the hat to modern Turkish, and serves generous dishes from seafood and steaks to sumptuous meze selections. Free local pick-ups and drop-offs included.

The kitchen's inventiveness comes into its own on the İzela Classics menu, with dishes ranging from the memorably flavoursome oven-baked lamb shank to imam bayıldı (imam fainted; famous aubergine dish). Almost everything is sourced locally (as in the farm next door), from olive oil and vegetables to chickens, ducks and turkeys.
