With that said, you go to Zuma Bodrum for the vibes, views, and maybe a pretty drink. The food gets a 3/5 while the location and ambiance get a 5/5. I made a reservation for sunset/golden hour a few weeks in advance and I was beyond grateful and appreciative that we literally got the best table in the restaurant, closest to the water, the Zuma sign, and the stunning sunset! The cocktails were both delicious and I highly recommend the Lychee & Rose Petal Martini as it was tropical, light, and not overly sweet. The food is overpriced for what it is so just get what sounds good or have a light bite here. I will say my favorites were the Salmon Avocado Maki Roll and Semi Fatty Tuna Aburi Maki Roll. Zuma Bodrum truly embodies what summer on the Mediterranean feels like and despite the lackluster food, I highly recommend visiting this location for the most unbelievable sunset views.

The Eski Koy Special Mixed Kebab is well worth it for two people and takes the decision-making out of the ordering process since it has a good assortment of everything. All the meats were phenomenal! They were tender, juicy, buttery, well-seasoned, charred, smoky, and mouthwatering. The grilled chicken wings blew me away while the adana kebab literally melted in my mouth. The lamb chops were so succulent and the chicken & beef skewers were perfectly cooked. I preferred this meal with white rice as opposed to their bulgur pilaf. Their white rice is buttery, pillowy, and so fragrant. I like that this special came with 2 types of mini lahmacun which was a nice change in texture and also very tasty! We ended with their Kunefe w Cream which was made very well. Being Middle Eastern myself, I love Kunefe and this one was done right! It's sweet but not overly sweet, hot and crispy on the outside, creamy and gooey on the inside. It was complimented by the Turkish Tea which was fragrant and soothing. This meal hit the spot!

The earthen materials and coverings somehow keep the temperatures cool here on the hottest days so that you can enjoy an extended serpme köy kahvaltı in all its glory. This is a must-do if you're in the Bodrum area. The region is known for its fantastic mandarin oranges (mandalina), and here the mandalina reçeli is the star of the show in a breakfast platter. Our other favorites were the ezme and pişi with a bit of kaymak. Hot dishes include menemen, kabak böreği and a sort of otlu gözleme.

It has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand and we decided to stop by for a quick bite. The Lahmacun was made fresh and was light and aromatic. It could've used more meat for my liking, and I wish the toppings plate came with pickled cabbage or onions which is still traditional; I've never seen Lahmacun be eaten with lettuce so maybe that's the "tourist option". The Sarımsaklı İsotlu Lahmacun is basically the same thing with garlic & hot pepper if you're looking for more flavor. And of course, you can't eat with this without washing it down with a classic Ayran drink! I wish I tried their grilled meats but maybe next time!

The nautical decor and lovely view of the old city were a treat, and nice to get away from the tourist hordes. But the tourist hordes should climb the hill and come here. You won't be disappointed.

The prices are super reasonable and fair as they are located outside the "tourist zone". We got the Mixed Pide to start which is essentially a flatbread topped with a bunch of ingredients. It was super filling from the toppings but the pide itself was surprisingly thin. It's made fresh and you can tell with each bite. My favorite was the Mixed Kebab which is an assortment of meats over bulgur pilaf and roasted vegetables. Everything was juicy, smoky, and well-seasoned. The grilled chicken wings and adana kebab were my favorites and I absolutely loved pairing it with the onions with sumac. For two people, this was the right amount of food to split and I love that there were tons of protein options here. Staff were friendly, service was quick, and we were seated right away. Solid lunch spot!
