Atilla Heilbronn: Fine Dining

The 22 Best Restaurants and Vineyards in İzmir, Turkey | Eater

"Chef Atilla Heilbronn serves his food in a 12-seater restaurant on the top floor of the Narımor Hotel, a boutique seven-room mansion in the center of Urla that he runs alongside his partner, Buse Ünal. Heilbronn creates excitement in each dish without too many details, a simplicity of technique picked up from years spent working with chefs at Michelin-starred restaurants. The tasting menu (the only option) changes frequently to capture the best of each micro-season: celery root with hazelnut, isot (fermented dried chile), green apple, and armola cheese; wild Aegean greens with beluga caviar; or duck consommé with egg yolk and mushrooms. Ünal carefully chooses global wines that offer a little something different than the other establishments around town." - Tuba Şatana
