Sarı Konak

Black Sea Coast


Easily missed as it's upstairs with no sign, this excellent ocakbaşı grill house serves assorted meaty morsels on two wooden balconies set with cushioned bench seats. Views look down through the çinar (plane tree) leaves onto a delightful square below that's always busy with old men chilling at outdoor tea shops.
