Dede Restaurant
A family restaurant founded in 1973, below the castle on the yacht harbor, with consistently praised seafood and meze.
Founded in 1973 by Ali Denizelli and now run by his grandchildren, the restaurant takes its name from 'Dede,' meaning 'grandfather.' It sits on Barbaros Avenue below Marmaris Castle, facing the yacht harbor, and balcony seating can be reserved. Specialties include daily meze, fresh fish and seafood pot dishes. Popular choices include grilled prawns, grilled octopus and grilled sea bass, along with Dede grilled meat, sizzling-pan meat dishes and baklava. Portions are generous, though some reviewers find the meat dishes inconsistent and a few items pricey. Book ahead for dinner in peak season.
