Defne Yaprağı Balık
Elevated Dalyanköy fish house with a serious meze bench
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Tucked into the village fabric of Dalyanköy, Defne Yaprağı is consistently ranked among Çeşme's top seafood rooms. The menu centres on the day's catch (sea bass, red mullet, bluefish) prepared simply, grilled or baked, alongside a reputation-making mezze selection. The setting is an elevated meyhane atmosphere rather than a beach-club show.
