The ambiance is also wonderful as you can sit inside or out and have a view over the square watching people walk through the markets or play. We came for an afternoon drink then again for dinner because it was such a great spot. Kids played in the square with other kids they met there while we enjoyed the most delightful salad of greens, avocado, orange, strawberry walnut and feta. The flat white coffee was very nicely done and chocolate cake right on the mark with a dark chocolate flavor that's not overly sweet.

Excellent restaurant and for the price was an amazing experience. If you can afford a nice evening…read moreout while in the Alaçatı go here. The staff was very accommodating even with my unruly 3 year old not wanting to cooperate. We sat outside on the balcony overlooking a beautiful garden and pool (presumably part of the Alvya Hotel which the restaurant is part of). After dinner, we were greeted by the owner and the chef and he thanked us for visiting. I thanked him for a great dinner and he was even nice enough to take my son on a quick tour of the kitchen ;) when we return to Izmir again, we will definitely go back. Teşekküller Mitu staff. ;)

During the day it's mostly a cafeteria where you can have a Turkish coffee, tea, lemonade, soft drinks etc. At night it becomes a bar with full alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Being right at the center of the street you can also do lots of "people watch". Enjoy it.

Veli Usta is one of the three famous ice cream spots in Çeşme…read more I tried the mango (which didn't taste as full bodied as I expected), their mastic (which I enjoyed much more than Reyhan's version), and their blackberry (which was incredibly rich and unmatched in flavor). I will say that I overall prefer Veli Usta because I find their ice cream to be softer. It doesn't freeze as hard as Reyhan's so it's easier to scoop. Their mastic is also richer than Reyhan's although Reyhan's ice cream box is a bit more insulated and nicer. All in all, if you're in Çeşme, Veli Usta is not to be missed, especially if you like strong ice cream flavors.
