About Veli Usta Korfez Restaurant

Veli Usta Korfez Restaurant is a fish restaurant on the Birinci Kordon seafront in Alsancak, facing the Gulf of Izmir. The Veli Usta website says the business opened in 1970 as a small family restaurant and grew into one of the largest fish restaurants in Izmir on a philosophy of complete customer satisfaction; it lists the Korfez restaurant alongside separate Alsancak and Inciralti branches. Visit Izmir describes the Korfez restaurant as a place serving good meze, fish cooked the way you like and drinks with a view of the bay, and names kopoglu, Girit meze, a plate of wild greens, lakerda, warm hummus with smoked sea bass, shrimp casserole, seafood salad and jumbo shrimp coated in kadayif as favourites. The 2026 Oggusto guide to the best restaurants in Izmir calls it one of the city’s best restaurants for fish, noting its service since 1970, that everything is fresh and carefully chosen, that staff recommend the tastiest fish of the season and bring it cooked just right, that the meze selection is wide, and that dil sis is among the best-loved dishes.
