Çark Balık
ÇARK balık Çeşme
A family-run fish restaurant in the lanes of Çeşme's old town, listed in the Michelin Guide, serving the day's catch and meze.
A family-run Turkish eatery tucked into the lanes of Çeşme's old town, just a few minutes' walk from the castle and harbour. It was listed in the 2026 Michelin Guide, which praised it for serving freshly landed seafood with the simplest preparations. Ask what fish came in that day, order it charcoal-grilled, and add a plate of cold meze, fried squid and grilled prawns. It has long ranked near the top of Çeşme on TripAdvisor, though some diners find the prices high. Booking by phone is advised in summer.
