Deniz Kızı Balık Lokantası

Top choice in Eastern Mediterranean


The kind of fish restaurant you hope for when visiting the Med, the 'Mermaid' does superfresh fish, simply and with real generosity of spirit. Housed in a lovely, solid stone building by the waterfront, with two floors and a rooftop deck strung with shells, it does a wonderful balık buğulama (fish stewed with tomatoes, peppercorn and parsley; ₺60). The pastries are top-notch, too.
