Çeşme
Restaurants
A curated overview of dining in Çeşme, from traditional coastal seafood taverns to modern Aegean kitchens in Alaçatı.
How we look at this
Dining across Çeşme reflects the rich culinary traditions of the Aegean peninsula, where fresh herbs, wild greens, olive oil, and daily seafood take center stage. The food scene spans classic waterfront fish restaurants along the coast to contemporary Mediterranean dining tucked into the stone streets of Alaçatı. While waterfront venues in Çeşme center focus on wild-caught catch and meze tables, Alaçatı leans towards chef-driven menus that reinterpret regional ingredients. Advanced reservations are recommended during high season across the peninsula.
Selected collection
Selected Restaurants in Çeşme
Restaurants across Çeşme that stand out for the quality of their cooking, service and overall dining experience.
A good restaurant in Çeşme is about more than an appealing menu. We look at the food itself, the consistency of the kitchen, service, setting and whether the restaurant feels worth making time for during a trip.
The peninsula has no single dining centre. Alaçatı has the widest concentration of restaurants and attracts chefs working across both Aegean and contemporary styles. Dalyan is better known for fish and seafood, while central Çeşme and the surrounding coastal areas have their own places worth seeking out. Our selection is therefore not limited to one neighbourhood, cuisine or style of restaurant.
Popularity alone is not enough. A difficult reservation, a fashionable address or a large social-media following does not determine inclusion. The restaurants here are chosen because the food, service and overall standard come together convincingly.
Menus, prices, opening days and reservation policies can change during the season, so it is sensible to check the latest details directly with the restaurant before visiting.
This is an editorial selection. A commercial relationship with Selected Türkiye does not guarantee inclusion, and Selected Partner status is kept separate from our editorial decisions.
