Bağarası Restaurant
Bağarası
A Michelin Bib Gourmand eatery under the shade of Bitez's trees, where the counter meze and modern Turkish dumplings get the most praise.
Located on Pınarlı Street in Bitez, the restaurant serves meals under the shade of an orchard in a relaxed, casual setting. Michelin describes it as authentic and warm, and it received a Bib Gourmand recommendation in 2026. Meze cold dishes are chosen from the display case, and the selection changes often. The modern take on Turkish dumplings, with crispy fried pastry, yogurt cream and meat sauce, is a must-order, and Michelin calls it a must-try. Dessert includes artichoke preserves with milk ice cream. Prices are moderate, and there is a parking lot. It is about 6 km from central Bodrum and reachable by minibus or taxi.
