Ferhat Buffet - Guzelbahce / Izmir
Ferhat Büfe is literally a “flavor stop on the way” and is on its way to becoming a real Izmir phenomenon. If you are returning from Karaburun, Çeşme or Urla and don't prefer to use the highway, it is easy to find yourself at Ferhat Büfe just by following the smell! Ferhat Büfe, which serves only its own special recipe of fried sardines, promises so much flavor that sometimes long queues form in front of it. If you love fish bread and your way passes through Güzelbahçe, don't miss these golden fried sardines!
