| Last reviewed: Jun 2026 A cosy waterfront fish-and-lobster restaurant on the Çiftlik shore looking across to Chios, where owner Can is the kind of host the regulars come back for. Lobster grilled with garlic-butter is the signature, alongside Aegean meze and the daily catch. Long-running and consistent rather than fashionable.
