Turquaz Cafe Restaurant Kuşadası — Restaurant in Kuşadası

Rating: ★★★★★

This hidden gem is just a short walk uphill through the shopping center across from the port. At first, it feels like you’re headed up a quiet street with no shops, but keep going—you’re only about 100 feet from the last shop on the right.

They speak little English, but they go out of their way to make sure you order exactly what you want. The husband speaks fluent German, so luckily, I could communicate (though my German is mostly limited to food, beer, words used during sex, and the occasional political banter 🙂‍↔️).

We also had a German schnitzel with a broccoli-mushroom herb cream sauce, served with fries and a tomato salad. The food was fresh and made to order, so be aware it may take a little time if you’re in a large group.

If we had more time, we’d gladly try the entire menu. This place is a true culinary experience, and I highly recommend it! Seriously the beef Italian dish we had...

Turquaz Cafe Restaurant – A Cozy Slice of Culinary Heaven! Forget generic tourist fare—this place serves up homemade magic! Every dish we tried was bursting with freshness and love. As a vegetarian, I was thrilled by their customized veggie options (a rarity in meat-loving Turkey!). The hosts happily tweaked recipes to suit our preferences, and the result was mouthwatering. The real stars here are the two incredible hosts! Warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about their food, they made us feel like family. In a country famed for kebabs, Turquaz celebrates vegetarian creativity without sacrificing authenticity. Pair that with a welcoming atmosphere and service that goes...
