About LA Mahzen

LA Mahzen is the restaurant of the Lucien Arkas vineyards at Yazıbaşı in Torbalı, on the land of ancient Metropolis south of İzmir. It holds a Bib Gourmand, for good quality and good value cooking, in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Türkiye. The inspectors recommend a stroll among the vines before eating, and note that guests can dine outdoors overlooking the vineyard or indoors with a view of the wine cellar below, where bottles are sold at the entrance. They describe unfussy Mediterranean dishes made to go with the estate's wines, such as charcoal-grilled leg of lamb with a mustard-enriched lamb jus. According to the estate, the restaurant serves an à la carte menu for lunch and dinner from 12:00 to 23:00 seven days a week, with set menus for groups of ten or more. There are three terraces totalling 2,500 square metres, an indoor banquet hall and two meeting rooms, and the vineyard hosts tastings and events. Free parking, a cloakroom and an outdoor children's play area are provided, and the estate offers free transfers from Kuşçuburun İZBAN station. It is about 23 km from İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport.
