"Finding good food in a tourist city is like finding a parking spot in Kaleiçi - difficult, but incredibly rewarding if you know where to look."

1. 7 Mehmet

Chef's ChoiceVERIFIED

Personally verified by our chef with 15+ years of experience in Antalya's culinary scene. This recommendation meets professional kitchen standards.

✓ Quality ingredients • ✓ Professional kitchen • ✓ Fair pricing

Why go?

This isn't just a restaurant; it's an institution. Using seasonal ingredients like green plums with lamb or pumpkin dessert with tahini. It's modern Turkish cuisine at its peak.

Order this: Sezen Aksu Salad (yes, named after the pop star) and the Kid (Goat) Meat with Rice.

2. Piyazcı Ahmet

You can't come to Antalya and not eat "Piyaz" (Tahini Bean Salad). While everyone argues about the best, Ahmet is the locals' secret spot.

Insider Tip: Don't ask for a menu. Just sit down and say "Köfte & Piyaz". Drink Ayran.

3. Seraser Fine Dining

Chef's ChoiceVERIFIED

✓ Quality ingredients • ✓ Professional kitchen • ✓ Fair pricing

Located in a 300-year-old mansion in Kaleiçi. If you want to propose, celebrate an anniversary, or just feel fancy, this is it.

4. Börekçi Tevfik

For breakfast. Tevfik Amca has been rolling dough since before most of us were born. His "Serpme Börek" is pure art.
