Amazing tasteful absolutely deserves its Michelin and Gault & Millau awards. I enjoyed green plate. They give bread, olive oil and 5 year cheese as well. I had unique taste of my life. I recommend you to visit this place.

My favorite restaurant. I often have lunch here, and every time it is such a pleasure. The dishes are incredibly refined, always seasonal, fresh, and very nourishing. It is important for me that I can always find high-quality protein, fiber, and good carbohydrates here, food that makes you feel truly well afterwards. I also want to mention the atmosphere: this place has its own history, character, and very special mood. You can really feel it. A huge thank you to the wonderful and stylish owner for creating a place like this. Honestly, it is hard to find something like this even in Switzerland or New York. The value for money is amazing. My favorite place in the world

Decent dishes. I liked the spinach with lamb. But nothing to rave about. Service is pleasant and staff is kind and helpful.(July 2025)

The restaurant that represents the best traditional cuisine in Izmir. Especially the olive oil dishes and olive oil fruit dishes are very famous. The meat and fish selection and the processing of the products are very successful. Very delicious.
