My favorite food stops that both give life to “Neo-Anatolian Cuisine” and carry the torch of the traditional cuisine in these days while people reduce the Ottoman cuisine, a culture with deep historical roots, into “döner and kebab” mentality.
Balmumu is a small and cozy restaurant where you can find the kinds of nostalgic grandma’s recipes that have faded into oblivion in the hustle and bustle of modern life.
During the Ottoman period, almost all the offal sellers in Istanbul were made up of the Albanians who migrated there during the Balkan Wars.
Michelin star studded restaurants and their distinctly formal dining ambiance

Kapha is a new restaurant situated in the garden of the good ol’ Fogo
You’re in front of one of the most popular culinary destinations in Kemeraltı
The most popular dürüm of Basta is lamb ribs dürüm

I recommend the restaurant not only to the Izmirians
The Istanbulites are lucky to have a place to go for that matter: Güvenç Konyalı
Ali Usta is one of the Izmirian restaurants that I won’t hesitate to recommend
