Our Alanya Restaurant Countdown
A holiday in Alanya has a way of making you slow down — long afternoons by the sea, warm evenings wandering through the old town, and eventually, the all-important question: where shall we eat tonight?
Whether you're enjoying dinner with the family, sharing a few plates with friends or settling in for a sunset meal with a view, the right restaurant can become part of the holiday itself.
We've gathered 10 restaurants in Alanya that caught our attention in 2026, taking you from number 10 all the way to our number one.
But food is personal — and everyone has their favourite.
Would your list look the same?
10. Elite Restaurant
Family-Friendly Dining With a Children's Play Area
Travelling with children can sometimes make choosing a restaurant a little more complicated.
Elite Restaurant makes family dining easier, with an ideal children's play area alongside the restaurant experience.
It's a great option when parents want to enjoy their meal while the children have somewhere to keep entertained.
Because a good holiday dinner should work for everyone at the table.
Would you put Elite higher in the ranking?
9. House of Bohem
Delicious Food With a Beach Vibe

You remember where you were sitting, what you could see and the atmosphere around you.
Would the view alone move Panorama higher in your ranking?
