After going to five different restaurants during our stay in is mayor, and relying on yelp reviews,…read morewe absolutely highly recommend this restaurant. The people were amazing, welcoming, brought the most amazing food, and the prices are dirt cheap. We felt like royalty dining here with all the attention they gave us. It was a very lively place with five star service and very low prices. It was across the street from the beach and the waters. Very clean, and we asked an incredible waiter to walk us to the fish section so we could pick out our fish. He gave us incredible recommendations and I also ordered besides a Seabass, fish eggs and fish liver, which was like duck Fois Gras Decadent rich and something I've never had in my life! The desert which was a special Turkish soufflé with ice cream, what is the creamiest ice cream I've had in my life. We found out it had been made with goat milk, but you would never know! I believe this is the best restaurant in İzmir !, So far!

I am not sure about their food quality but they do create nasty smells for people who live nearby…read more The oily fish smell is all around the place. They keep the front of the shop open so all the fumes escape to street and people are not able to open their windows on hot summer days anymore. They do not seem to use proper ventilation to pull the fumes away.

We are two ladies, middle-aged, and maybe that was why they weren't very friendly to us. We don't know. But the service was not welcoming. We wanted to order lots of things, but for whatever reason they did not pay much attention to us. We did go over to the fresh sea food counter which was quite impressive. And we ordered Seabass and shrimp, but out of all the places we've eaten in turkey, five or six other restaurants, the food here was only marginal. So because of the food, and the service, I'm only giving us a three star review. For the same price - which is low all over İzmir- I'd recommend YYengec and Deniz - Both of those restaurants far surpass this one with food excellence and extremely incredible service. And both of the locations rival this restaurant as they are both on the water.

Just a quick shot on the ferry from Karsiyaka and within walking distance of the ferry, Sipari…read moreBalik is a great place to have a family fish and meze dinner or a meze and grilled meats dinner. Their specialty is the steak, but we went the seafood meze and cold meze route - which being on the Aegean this rarely is a bad choice. It's all of very good quality. Nothing that will knock your socks off, but you won't be disappointed if you just want to come out for a change of scenery. There is also a full bar and since I don't do raki (I know...shame on me. I'm a retired raki drinker) is a big plus. They kept my gin and sodas flowing. In the summer, there is seating right by the Levent Marina - which is a great spot to take in the sea and daydream about that boat you've always wanted.

It was great fun to pick out the fish we ate. They were prepared very well. So fresh and tasty.read more
