The Best Seafood Near Beynel, by the Record

A family-run seafood restaurant on a bay in Bodrum, where the brothers who own it also fish it, which explains a lot. The cooking is plant-forward alongside the seafood, the supply chain is almost comically short, and the wine list, which includes a few of their own labels, reads like a side project that got out of hand. The Michelin Guide has its eye on it.

A seafood restaurant on the Göltürkbükü waterfront where the terrace sits under tall trees close enough to the shore that the setting does half the work. The kitchen keeps things unfussy, letting the day's fish speak for itself, and the cold mezze counter near the entrance is worth circling before you sit. Cold baklava finishes things on a note that sounds wrong until it isn't. The Michelin Guide has selected it.

The day's catch sits on ice near the entrance, which is the most direct menu a seafood restaurant can offer. Sait is a family-run spot on Yalıkavak's marina, where the terrace looks out over yachts that have no business being this glamorous. The cooking leans into home-style generosity, sharing plates of fish and seafood built around whatever came in that morning, with enough colour on every plate to make you forget you ordered too much.
