Mezra Yalıkavak

Very memorable, The tasting menu is inventive and broad, an exceptional example of all Turkish sourced ingredients. Price is reasonable for a Michelin star contender. I actually preferred my meal at Mezra to the one I had at Turk by Faith Tutak, although Turk’s cocktails are far more interesting and service is somewhat more refined, the food surprised me more at Mezra. The amount of food was very substantial and I’d recommend coming on an empty stomach. They also did a fantastic job with substitutions for my vegetarian girlfriend and each one I tasted was as lovely as the meat dishes. My biggest suggestion would be to offer a smaller tasting menu with selected dishes from the main menu as an alternative option so more people can experience this place more often. I would come back sooner and recommend this place to a broader range of people if that were the case.

We had an unforgettable dining experience at this restaurant. The fact that it’s featured in the Michelin Guide and led by a MasterChef Turkey champion already sets high expectations—and every detail exceeded them. The food was exceptional, beautifully crafted, and full of flavor. Service was just as impressive: our waiter, Yusuf, was attentive throughout the evening, making sure everything was perfect without ever being intrusive. A wonderful balance of world-class cuisine and genuine hospitality. Truly a place worth visiting again and again.

Great service and atmosphere. I recommend trying içliköfte. The cocktail menu could be improved. Prices are correlated with a fine dining experience, but not overpriced.

Wonderful experience, a very surprising and enjoyable menu and really attentive and professional staff. We felt really taken care of, it was a very special night

I had an exceptional dining experience at Mezra ! The outdoor area surpassed all expectations, providing a delightful atmosphere. The staff's knowledge and attentiveness were truly impressive, enhancing the overall enjoyment of our meal. A big shoutout to the amazing team for making our visit memorable. Can't wait to return !

One of the best restaurants in the world. I've experienced the finest dinner all over, this is the best. Food, owner, chef, staff, everyone is incredible. Thank you so much. Will come back to Bodrum just to be with you guys. Blessed.

One of the hidden gems in Yalikavak, great breakfast and a reasonable price! The service was also great ! Highly recommended

Nereden başlasam bilemiyorum… Daha rezervasyon aşamasından itibaren ekibin ilgisi sizi etkilemeye başlıyor. Kapıdan karşılanma, masanıza kadar eşlik edilmeniz ve her detayda hissedilen özen, kendinizi gerçekten çok özel hissettiriyor. Restoranın bulunduğu konum başlı başına büyüleyici. Doğayla iç içe, huzurlu bir atmosfer ama aynı zamanda modern ve zarif bir tasarıma sahip. İç mekanın mimarisi, ambiyansı ve doğayla uyumu gerçekten harika. Biz tadım menüsünü denedik ve her bir tabak ayrı bir lezzet hikayesiydi. Kullanılan tüm malzemeler yerel ürünlerden seçilmiş. Kendi keçilerinden elde ettikleri sütle yapılan yoğurtlar, ev yapımı peynirler, bahçelerinden toplanan taptaze sebzelerle hazırlanan yemekler… Her şey doğal, her şey Türkiye’den. Hiçbir ithal ürün yok, her lokma özgün ve samimi. Serhat Şef tüm süreç boyunca inanılmaz ilgiliydi. Masaları geziyor, detayları paylaşıyor, sohbet ediyor. Bu sıcaklık ve profesyonellik birleşince ortaya gerçekten unutulmaz bir deneyim çıkıyor. Biz bu deneyimi eşimle özel bir günümüzde yaşadık ama aslında özel bir güne gerek bile yok. İmkanı olan herkesin, sırf bu eşsiz atmosferi ve lezzetleri yaşamak için bile mutlaka uğraması gereken bir yer. Her açıdan dört dörtlük bir restoran. Biz bayıldık. Tekrar gitmeyi kesinlikle planlıyoruz.
