Absinthe

On a 1st-floor terrace above the main street, Absinthe takes inspiration from the cuisine of historic Smyrna, incorporating Greek, Anatolian, Ottoman and Asian elements, and pairing them with fresh local ingredients. Smrynaian meatballs sit alongside hünkâr beğendi (veal stew on a spicy eggplant puree) and a standout goat coconut curry on rice.
