Places to eat in Sirince

Although it is a small and quaint town, Şirince, which contains a huge history, is also huge with its food and cuisine that includes different flavors. You can find traces of Aegean and Mediterranean cuisines in Şirince's cuisine. In general, salads, vegetable dishes and olive oil dishes are at the forefront.    
The first thing you will come across in this beautiful Aegean town of Şirince will of course be the pancake aunts. You will not pass by without tasting the delicious pancakes with herbs, cheese, potato, minced meat and many other varieties.   
At a restaurant or café where you sit down for a meal, you will be greeted with a plate of village bread and olive oil flavored with local herbs. We recommend you to try çöp skewers, Efe kebab, appetizers flavored with natural herbs, grapes grown in Şirince, keşkek, çökertme kebab and carob molasses. You should definitely try the local women's delicious stuffed zucchini blossoms and roasted herbs. Drink Coffee in the Sand.

Don't forget to taste the Turkish coffee, which is cooked slowly in hot sand and is identified with this village. As you walk through the village, you will come across places with “coffee in the sand” signs at the entrance, take a break and have a coffee in the sand in one of them.

For good food, you can try Nişanyan Houses Hotel, Dimitros Restaurant or Şirince Artemis Restaurant.

Also, Üzüm Kafe/Restaurant is a place where you will want to spend hours with its garden, architecture, food and wines.

Have You Tried Elderberry Syrup Yet? We heard about elderberry syrup for the first time here. A delicious and refreshing drink is produced from the extract of elderberry, a flower that grows near the stream. It also has a feature such as being a cure for colds. In some places it is served with Turkish coffee, in others with food, but it is most enjoyable to drink it in the cafe with a view right at the entrance of the church.

Bizim Ev Hanımeli is a home cooking restaurant on the road between Şirince and Selçuk. Everything is homemade daily, right down to the bread. The friendly staff is also an effort. The garden is also pleasant.
