Piyazcı Sami
A family-run historic shop opened in 1933, claiming to be the first piyaz shop in Antalya, making it a classic spot to try the local tahini white bean salad.
A family restaurant established in 1933, known as the earliest piyaz shop in Antalya, now run by the third generation and located on 25th Street next to the government building. The signature piyaz is made with Çandır white beans and seasoned with tahini tarator and homemade apple vinegar, often paired with grilled meatballs, followed by a tahini pumpkin dessert for after-dinner. The shop has a casual, homely atmosphere and mainly opens for lunch; reservations are generally not needed. Online reviews show a wide range of average costs, from TRY 200 to 800. Some long-time customers have noted that the taste is not as good as it used to be. It is not far from the Kaleiçi Old Town and can be reached on foot.
