You can eat meatballs and have a drink at Koftane in Bitez run by a lovely turkish couple. Maybe not the best meatballs but they are delicious and clean and bonus nice chat. It is a very small place with three or four tables in Bitez village on the road going from the main road to Yali. Most of the decoration, lamps etc., has been made by the owners. And very reasobale prices.

Belediye's place (Municipality) on the way to Icmeler on the right side. Nice view. And having raki and enjoying the sunset is really relaxing.

And last but not least Nino, the master of pizza. One of the best pizzas I have ever eaten. But unfortunately he works for a different place every summer. I don't know where he will work this summer. When I learn it, I will post it here. Last summer he was in Gumbet and later in Kadikalesi.

If u wanna listen Turkish live music and enjoy with Turkish people around then try : Campanella ( in the bars street)

if u wanna enjoy the beach all day and stay for a dinner at the same place, then try : Baraka in Torba(mmmm nice food)

If u wanna listen best of classics(live) and enjoy the large turkish, Indian, Mexican and Italian menu then try Planet Yucca in Gümbet

My most favorite bar is ORA BAR - Bars street Bodrum center

If u need something more classy then its KUBA Bar , on the way to marine.

Kaptains bar, but I dont remember how I got there sorry? Its in the Bazaar somewhere and only open "out of season" and is used by the local's and not tourist? The owner shuts up in early summer and sails the med but the few times we went in Nov it was local music and songs? a "real" Turkish night

You can't beat Adana 01 in Gumbet for a proper Adana Kebab or a good bowl of soup! Excellent value too.

Hi, we are new to this forum but felt we had to tell people about Mustis in Yalikavak. Right on the beach with fantastic range of food whether just a snack or the best fillet steak. Place belongs to irish/turkish couple called Musti and Brenda even just go in for a drink and watch the sunset while enjoying a chat and receive a warm welcome.

Really nice restaurant in gumusluk it is at the top of the hill before you go past all the little stalls to the beach - and they are even cheaper than all the ones at the front.

Windy bay in Gumbet had some really nice meals there too.

Another fav in Bodrum is one that is on your way down to the harbour when coming from the market you would easily walk passed this one as it is covered with bushes - nice place for your lunch after buying all the crap in the market.

When I am next there I will put the names of the restaurants on.

I like Musstis and 3 Brothers lamband Ali Baba There was a restaurant calle Zugma which was on the roasd from Yali to Kippa Supermarket when I was there in Jan I noticed it was SATLIK which is a shame it was really posh and nice food I suppose its too far from the punters and Tracys

Got to agree with Carol, also a must to visit in Turgutreis is Nanais (just off the sea front in the middle with a few other restaurants) it's fab.

The Kebab House is shut Carol opposite the harbour, she really did try to make a go of it but I think it is just a little too far out from town and that's where most people go in the evening, it was lovely Carol, we were sad to see it had shut down.

Just 4 weeks on Friday for us
