Hiç Lokanta - Urla

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

"A Greek theater turned restaurant, Hiç prepares modern twists on regional recipes in a state of the art kitchen, all complemented with regional wines and cocktails. Following a “forest to fork” motto, the sustainable operation tries to raise awareness with its approach to sourcing ingredients, energy consumption, and waste. The Olive Forest salad is a perfect example of foraged and harvested produce from Urla, while the dry-aged beets show off the zero-waste philosophy. Don’t miss the house kokoreç (lamb intestines) with fermented mushrooms or the ekmek dolması, Urla’s traditional stuffed bread. The restaurant also organizes harvesting tours of its 60,000 olive trees, where guests will also find plenty of wild edible plants, and conducts cooking classes all year around." - Tuba Şatana
