Where to eat in Kemer: 17 restaurants by the sea, in the center and in the mountains

Start with kebab: Adana and Urfa are prepared at Has Kebap Restaurant and Paşa Kebap Salonu. Portions are large, and the meat comes with lavash and a spicy sauce.
Fish in Kemer is fresh, caught off the coast every day. Sea bream, sea bass, shrimp, and calamari are served at Çaça Balık and Nokta Balık Kemer. Both places have held their standard for years.
Meze, cold appetizers in olive oil, came from Aegean and Mediterranean cuisine. Hummus, sea beans, and fava bean puree are on almost every menu. Order 3-4 varieties for two people, that will be enough.
If you want something other than Turkish, go for pizza and pasta at Kitchen Kemer and Casa La Luna or a steak at La Paz Restaurant. For a different flavor, head to Monte Kemer Restaurant: they grill Balkan-style patties and serve fresh bread.
For dessert, order künefe, rice pudding, or semolina halva. They are served almost everywhere that has kebab.
