Dining at Teruar Urla gives rise to a sense of natural serenity – and that goes for both the drive along the vineyards and the atmosphere of this luxurious restaurant housed in a building of local stone. On one side, you can see the kitchen team at work; the aperitif room and terrace offer stunning views of the valley below. An overnight stay in one of the guestrooms is a must, but first, take the time to savour Osman Serdaroğlu's intense cuisine. He is a chef who believes that less is more. His minimalist approach to local cooking is infused with Italian flair, a result of his previous work experience. His dishes are always full of surprises. Whether robust terrine from oxtail, tongue, and cheek, served alongside a smoky aubergine purée and an earthy parsley sauce, or rich tagliolini emulsified with lemon juice and olive oil, every dish is sure to intrigue. This is simple and honest cuisine pared down to the essentials. Chef Serdaroğlu is happy to come to your table to expound his vision and share his penchant for local produce. The same goes for the wine list, in fact, which predominantly features Turkish labels. Your charming hostess, Ezgi, and her team are ready to provide you with all the details. The terroir of Urla and its surroundings is special, there's no doubt about that.
