Hanımeli Balık Restaurant

Nicest restaurant we have been to in a month in Turkiye. Very fresh fish, charming service, fun space. Not inexpensive but not crazy pricey for İstanbul area. Do not skip the many fascinating dishes in their prepared foods deli case. Karaburun is pretty much shut down in the off season but Halimeli was hopping and delighted to see us both times we went.

The second time I spent an excellent evening here. Everything is on top level. The food: everything you choose, be sure that is super-tasty. The service: just relax and enjoy your dinner and companionship, the staff takes care of every detail.

The best Seafood restaurant I had ever been to. Very classy very neat and clean, best service and mostly best fresh catch. Located on the shores of the Black Sea in a small fishing village close to the istanbul airport. Highly recommended, very reasonable price compared to top class service and quality.

Lovely fish restaurant on the harbor. Huge amount of mezzes, fresh fish choices were good (choose your fish if you like). Service stellar, prices higher but not unreasonable. We would recommend.

A really nice and tasty place with fresh fish in the middle of nowhere.

I would really recommend this place for lunch or dinner. Especially, if you are having a connecting flight through Istanbul.

The restaurant is located on one of the small towns 25 mins drive from the airport. Enjoy the fresh air, enjoy fresh fish, relax and make sure you don’t miss your flight ;)))

A beautiful drive to this quaint coastal village was breathtaking. The setting is perfect.. Calm and relaxing. Enjoying a meal while gazing out into the ocean watching the boats, seagulls and planes taking off was a special treat indeed. The waiters at this restaurant serve with style and finesse. They were impeccable. We were so impressed. The food was so delicious. Great valet service too. It's the first time that I've seen a bathroom with toothbrushes. Wow! We received a lovely New Year's gift too. We will certainly return.

Really nice seafood, eg seafood kokorec here. Very attentive waiters, great service, glasses always topped up. First time I have seen a basket of toothbrushes on offer in a restroom! Quiet location in October, right next to a small beach and harbour.

Food is very tasty: mezes, fried fish, deserts! Personnel is kind and thoughtful.
Easy (valet) parking

Excellent food, Fresh fish straight from the sea. Service was incredible also! English speaking manager 😊

Very nice restaurant. Good service. Food was really excellent! I can only recommend

My wife and I had a wonderful dinner meal here. The service was great! Prompt food and everything tasted great. We ordered many Tapas: green salad, fish soup, shrimp, and marinated sea bass fish. Seating outside was very nice. After sunset when it got cold, the waiter even brought out a blanket for my wife to warm up with. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Very nice fish restaurant, which I didn't visit for a long period but has been much better, I definitely recommend 👌

Delicious seafood and a fantastic choice of interesting salads to choose from. Great service.

Delicious sea food in a great setting by the sea. 1 hour of drive from Istanbul in Black Sea shore.

It's the best restaurant while you are waiting for the next flight on Istanbul Airport and its only 25 min distance

Delicious Turkish mezes, Rakı, sea foods and very good service. Friendly and genial stuff. And very nice sea view... You should make your reservation for weekends for sure.

Great place - best grilled fish I had in years. Lovely dessert - caramelised figs with nuts. Desent wine list. Great service combined with a lovely view of the harbour. If you have a long wait at IST airport, get here for a beach walk and some lovely food

Great location on the beach. Staff are fab. Fish in the well is amazing.

The food was absolutely superb.
Local fresh seafood cooked perfectly.
The service from the staff was outstanding.
Ilhan and everyone else involved couldn’t have done better.
If you are ever in the neighborhood, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Deserves a Michelin Star
