The Experience
From Michelin Guide
Atilla Heilbronn serves up a distinctive take on Turkish cuisine. Having grown up in Germany and worked at several top-flight establishments, he has now set up shop at this stylish boutique hotel. The glass-paned restaurant can only accommodate a handful of tables, which makes for an intimate atmosphere. Hostess Buse adds to the vibe with her attentive service. Chef Heilbronn's meticulously crafted dishes are visually stunning and showcase the finest local ingredients. His German training is evident in the exceptional bread he bakes, including a dark sourdough and a pretzel-style baguette. His intriguing culinary creations never fail to amaze, eg the sea bream with tart apricot, briny samphire and a creamy kefir dressing is full of nuance and expression. Don't miss the opportunity to pair your meal with a bottle from Hus Wines, which has some real gems in store. Through his efforts to source first-rate produce and his extensive research into Turkish culinary traditions, this chef has developed a truly original style of cuisine.
