Sertan's small seafood room on the Yıldızburnu cape, water-edge tables, sharp kitchen, prices that still make sense by Çeşme standards
Mâzi sits on the Yıldızburnu promontory east of Ilıca, where the bay narrows and the land turns into a cluster of working fishermen's coves. Owner-host Sertan runs a tight, intimate room with day-boat fish, a focused meze list and a wine selection that punches above the venue's footprint. Karides tempura, grilled bonfile and the cold meze tray are reliable signals. By Çeşme price standards it is honest, the kind of place locals quietly recommend rather than the Ilıca beach-club rooms a kilometre west.
Book the front row two days ahead. Tell Sertan you want fish as it came in and let him build the meal, the off-menu instinct here outperforms the printed list.
