Vino Locale
Izmir's first two-Michelin-starred restaurant, located in Urla, offering only seasonal tasting menus with a strong emphasis on local wine pairings.
Founded in Urla in 2018 by husband-and-wife duo Chef Ozan Kumbasar and Sommelier Seray Kumbasar, this restaurant was elevated to two Michelin stars in the 2026 edition, making it Izmir's first two-star establishment, and it also holds a Green Star. It offers only tasting menus that change with the seasons roughly every six weeks to two months. Most ingredients are sourced from nearby producers, and vegetarian menus as well as wine or non-alcoholic pairings are available. Michelin highlights the lightly cooked prawns and wood-fired okra with baby corn, while the lemon parfait is a year-round staple. Reservations are mandatory, and the official website notes a minimum age limit of 15. The tasting menu is approximately 5,500 TRY (reported in late 2025, excluding service charge). It is about 40 km from the city center, making it best reached by taxi or self-drive.
