A guide to the best restaurants in Gumbet

Enjoy the surroundings at Peter's Place

Located in a white stucco building there’s indoor space and an outdoor canopied area at Peter’s Place. Here you can enjoy Turkish or international food, freshly sourced and cooked daily to suit most palates. The Turkish mezze is delicious, the just-caught seabass is a must-try if you like fish, and the cokertme kebab is also popular.

Watch the sunset at the Windmill Restaurant

This romantic restaurant is a must if you want to sit and watch the sun set over the Mediterranean on your Bodrum holiday. Located in a windmill, it boasts a great outdoor terrace elevated above the village. They serve Turkish and international food, such as Turkish stew, pasta, calamari and other local fish and seafood.

Seize the day at Carpe Diem Lounge and Restaurant

This restaurant is located right on the beachfront. At Carpe Diem you can relax in the canopied outdoor area with unpretentious wooden tables and chairs. This is a magical spot to have a cocktail or Raki, as well as some great food – and they make a delicious steak and chips.

Relax on the terrace at Annalivia Restaurant

Annalivia’s chocolate souffle is to die for, but all the food here is recommended. A mix of international and Turkish cuisine, other dishes include Turkish boureka* – pastries filled with feta cheese – and succulent lamb chops. If you want to enjoy entrancing views across Gumbet and the Mediterranean, find a table on the covered terrace

An authentic experience at Divers Restaurant

Hidden in a side street is Divers Restaurant, and as soon as you walk in they’re keen to help in whichever way they can. Find a table under the leafy canopy to enjoy the plentiful food, which includes kebabs, king prawns and mouthwatering desserts.

You can have it all at The Royal Restaurant

The Royal’s neon sign will draw you in and once you’ve found a table indoors or on the outdoor terrace, you’ll be overwhelmed by the choice of food on the menu. Indian, Italian, Chinese, Turkish – it’s all on there – plus English fish and chips. Then you can finish off with an Irish coffee.

Chinese food is the order of the day at Red Dragon Restaurant

Red Dragon is a popular Chinese restaurant also serving Turkish and English food. It’s located fairly near to the shops and bars, making it convenient to get to. The classy red-and-white interior is decorated with lanterns and there’s an outdoor terrace located on the street.

Watch football and drink beer at Windy Bay Steak House

This restaurant offers what it says – you can choose any steak with a drink for a set price and all the food is freshly prepared. Windy Bay also has its own pool and play area – and you can watch football with an ice-cold beer, so it’s an appealing family option.

Enjoy the welcome at Adam's Pub

Located close to the beach and Gumbet’s popular Bar Street, this venue is run by Adam and his friendly team. They put on fantastic Turkish nights with belly dancers – as well as BBQs with drinks included – and serve very tasty local dishes.

Sit by the Mediterranean at Sur Mare Restaurant

A little hidden away, this venue is right on the beach, as the name suggests, and offers fantastic views to Gumbet’s bay. Stop off for a snack, cocktails or dinner. You can try the catch of the day while relaxing on the terrace to soak up the lovely atmosphere.
