I can highly recommend the Yaprak Sarma (stuffed grape leaves) as a starter. Follow that with the Lamb Stew or the perfectly cooked Sea Bass. The service was friendly, professional and discreet.

We had an amazing lunch experience at this small restaurant in Buyukada. We had gone to a different…read moreseafood restaurant yesterday which was on the main waterfront road, rated as #1 for seafood on TripAdvisor where we paid more than twice what we paid here and the food was nowhere near as good (don't believe all reviews I guess!). This restaurant is located on the main inland road, one block away from the waterfront. We first tried the marinated anchovies and a spicy yogurt mezze, both were outstanding! The spicy yogurt had enough of a kick to make it can't-stop-eating delicious (I literally scooped every last bit with my finger because it was that good). The anchovies were also great, with the right amount of vinegar and perfect seasoning. For our main entree we opted for the wild caught levrek (sea bass) grilled to perfection. Needless to say we devoured it! Service was super attentive and friendly, prices were very reasonable. Definitely recommend trying this restaurant for seafood if you're in Buyukada.

We went with a grilled sea bass and a grilled salmon. It. Was. Yummy. It even had this smoky flavour. The place itself is neat, even their bathroom (didn't expect it from a place on an island)! The cats are well trained, they won't jump on your table when eating but rather they will wait patiently next to your table in case you decide to feed them. One more thing, both fish plates and 2 glasses of tea ended up costing 80 TL which is less than 10 euro. Crazy.
