About Aslında Meyhane

Aslında Meyhane is a meyhane, a traditional Turkish tavern built around rakı and shared plates, in Urla's Yeni Mahalle, close to the old town centre. It holds a Bib Gourmand, the Michelin Guide's award for good cooking at good value, in the 2026 Michelin Guide Türkiye. The meyhane occupies an old Anatolian stone house with a courtyard terrace. Its own website tells the story of a dream carried to Urla and describes tables where familiar flavours of the past and present are brought together by its chefs. The long menu is mostly hot and cold meze with a traditional Turkish character. Dishes mentioned by the Michelin Guide include a fish soup made with sea bream, prawns and squid, kokoreç served with hummus, and a fava bean purée with lemon and dill. The food is designed for sharing in a relaxed setting with friends. It opens in the evenings from 18:00 until around midnight and is closed on Tuesdays, according to its website.
