Bodrum Müdavim — Restaurant in Bodrum

Nice But Noisy

This is a nice place at the hearth of bar street near the seaside. As you can imagine it has an amazing view and athmosphere. Stuff are all caring and the serve fast. Really fast. They change your ashtrays before you noticed and supply ice before it is finished. However the mezes are not very tasty.

It has a strong smell due to its anise content, unlike vodka and similar drinks. Besides, rakı and a table with it has a reputed place in Turkish culture, which has some non-written but strict respect rules in Turkey. It is preferred to be drunk only with such eligible people, within everyone's own limits and with obeying the table culture. Main appetizer (meze) for rakı is a respectful chat more than eating something alongside it.

Rakı is not drunk to get drunk. So that, in some restaurants, the servicing chief watches the guests for their drunkenness level according to their conversations and behaviors, and recommends them to stop to preserve table synergy. In pubs, the chief brings in sole intention the table addition to gently force...

The Müdavim was a place where we visit whenever we have been in Bodrum. However, the last visit was not nice like the others.
