About Kaptan'ın Yeri

Kaptan'ın Yeri ("The Captain's Place") is a small, family-run fish restaurant inside the Konutkent 2 shopping arcade on the Çayyolu side of Ümitköy. It calls itself a balık pişirme evi, a fish-cooking house with a Mediterranean kitchen, and its pitch is simple: fresh seasonal fish, served cooked or raw. Much of the menu comes straight from the pan or the grill. The restaurant's own photos show butter-fried shrimp, octopus baked in butter in a clay güveç, fried calamari, pan-fried turbot (kalkan), stuffed mussels (midye dolma), grilled sea bream and fish soup, and the takeaway menu adds fish burgers made with whiting fillet. Visitors on Tripadvisor describe it as a modest, friendly neighbourhood fish house where most dishes arrive in the pan, with fish sandwiches also on offer. The family business puts its emphasis on attentive, quick service and thanks the families who come back to eat together. Orders can also be placed directly on its "Alo Kaptan" phone line or through the Yemeksepeti and Getir delivery apps. According to the restaurant's Instagram account it is closed on Mondays.
