About Defne Yemekevi

Defne Yemekevi is a home-cooking restaurant on Onder Caddesi in the Gazi neighbourhood of Gaziemir. Visit Izmir, the Izmir Metropolitan Municipality tourism portal, describes it as a place where soup is available around the clock, with meat dishes such as kelle, liver and boiled lamb, alongside olive-oil vegetable dishes for those who do not eat meat, all made to traditional recipes. Its soups are the main feature, and Visit Izmir says the best liked is ayak paca soup. The restaurant’s own website presents it as serving traditional Turkish home cooking and Mediterranean dishes.
