Sea Foods from Orfoz Restaurant

Some traditional Foods from Kısmet Restaurant in Bitez-Bodrum

The participation of many restaurants from Bodrum in the Michelin Guide, which is given to restaurants that offer extraordinary meals to their customers, immediately attracted attention to these venues…

After passing the stages where the five criteria of the Michelin Guide are applied, Maçakızı and Kitchen Bodrum became the restaurants that won 2024 Michelin Stars.
The quality of the ingredients, the harmony of the flavors, the mastery of the cooking techniques, the reflection of the chef’s personality on the dining experience, and, most importantly, the consistency between the inspectors’ visits were considered in the evaluations. In 2024, 15 places from Bodrum entered the Michelin recommendation list.

The popular places in Bodrum called Otantik Ocakbası and İki Sandal were included in the Big Gormant Category, which includes restaurants that “offer the best value for money”…

Restaurants inspected by unknown, secret inspectors and tested by eating in person are included in the Michelin Guide after their food is evaluated according to the five criteria mentioned above.

There are two restaurants with a Michelin Star in Bodrum. One is Maçakızı Restaurant, managed by Chef Aret Sahakyan, located within the Maçakızı Hotel and operates in Göltürkbükü. The other is the Kitchen Restaurant, which Chef Osman Sezener manages. It is located in The Edition Hotel in Yalıkavak…

The Michelin Guide, considered one of the most respected guides in the world, sometimes recommends an exceptionally rich-looking restaurant and includes a street food vendor from Thailand in its recommendations.

The guide, first published in France in the 1900s, contains food recommendations for car drivers. With a history of 125 years, many movies have been made since then, “telling the story of the struggles to get a Michelin Star.”

Restaurant operators and chefs also follow the prestige of being included in the Michelin Guide with great interest.

When selected for the Michelin Guide, restaurants and chefs naturally gain a well-deserved reputation through word of mouth. This is an incredible opportunity for a restaurant and a great advertisement.

The Michelin Award competition encourages restaurants to make more meticulous, delicious, and unique presentations.

Our wish is for more restaurants in Bodrum with Michelin praise…

The Michelin Guide, one of the oldest guides in the world, was started to be published by the French car tire manufacturer MICHELIN in 1900 due to the increase in car users.

They aimed to recommend delicious and affordable restaurants where people could meet their food needs while driving. However, the guide is very popular and soon becomes the most critical guide in the world.
