About Sevince Lokantasi ve Meyhanesi

Sevince Lokantasi ve Meyhanesi is an Alsancak eatery on 1471 Sokak that works as an esnaf lokantasi, a tradesmen canteen, by day and as a meyhane in the evening. The 2026 Oggusto guide to Izmir restaurants says it welcomes guests with the motto that life is beautiful when you love it, and that both its meze and its main dishes are good. The best-loved dishes it names are arapsaci with lamb, fava, stuffed vine leaves with minced meat, kofte on crisp lavash, Alasehir kapamasi, kokorec and black-eyed bean salad, and it recommends the pumpkin dessert shaped into roses. On its Instagram profile the venue presents itself as an address for meze, conversation and convivial tables with Aegean flavours, and a 2025 video from the restaurant gives its address and landline.
