Kaplan Dağ Restoran

Top choice in South Aegean


'Tiger Mountain' offers superbly prepared local dishes with lashings of olive oil and wild herbs. Seasonal mezes like fish in soya oil and stuffed zucchini flowers are offered, and mains include Tire-style köfte (meatballs) and şiş kebaps (roast skewered meat). Book ahead on Tuesdays and weekends.

The restaurant is tastefully decorated in a rustic style with gourds and dried herbs hanging from the roof beams and arty felt pieces on the walls. The views across the mountains are sublime.
