This was the only evening we had time for dinner and we sought Google Maps for a restaurant near our hotel. İzmir Sakız Alsancak Restaurant was the choice we did and were happy with our choice. We sat outside despite cold and wind, but they turned the heater on, so it was fine. There were few people in the restaurant, but later more people arrived. We had 5 dishes and 3salads some drinks and a bottle of wine. We enjoyed the dinner, especially the fish that I already missed. The service was fast and they were very polite.

Hope you will do the same. I've attached photos of the menu,...
Read moreWe’ve dine at thia restaurant. The food was pretty nice. We’ve had some mezes and some fish. It’s a bit expensive, but its good food. The only thing I would really apreciate and that i think that would make the food more enjoyable would be tif they wouls serve nice pide bread instead of the frozen small buns. As the dishes we had, there was the cheese with spicy pepper paste that was delicious and the smoked eggplant with yogurt and garlic, really nice both of them.
