About Horasan Balık

Horasan Balık is chef Ahmet Horasan's seafood restaurant in the back streets of Çeşme town centre. It began as a fish wholesaler and grew into one of the best-known seafood tables in Çeşme, where diners sit in an open-air garden courtyard among lemon, orange and olive trees and can watch Ahmet Horasan working the grill. Gault & Millau Türkiye named it the country's best seafood restaurant for 2024 and awarded it a toque. Rather than a meze trolley, the kitchen is chef-led, with dishes such as shrimp tartare and raw bonito and a short list of plated fish dishes rewritten daily around the catch, backed by an Aegean wine list. It is a seasonal, evening-only restaurant, and summer tables are typically booked well ahead.
