Side Ocakbasi
Side Ocakbasi serves traditional Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes with a focus on meze and Turkish flatbreads. The restaurant relocated recently to a beachside location featuring outdoor seating and maintains a solid wine selection. Vegan diners can find tasty appetizers like aubergine casserole, but caution is advised due to occasional cross-contamination with dairy and egg products.
