Grilled kofta, wood-fired sea bass an abundance of mezze; Bağarası is the spot for a taste of Bodrum. Leave room for pud, the sweet artichoke confit is a house speciality. 

Locals may come and go, but there's never a dull moment at this neighborhood spot. With a counter bursting with dishes from grilled aubergines, rich tomato stews, butter beans and vine leaves to sweets doused with honey syrup...let the feast begin. 

For platter after platter of freshly grilled seafood, perfectly fried calamari and a whole host of mezze, head to Memedof. This spot has earned itself a bit of a reputation, so book a table in advance!
