I don’t even know where to begin – everything at Barba Urla was simply outstanding. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between cozy and elegant, making it a place you instantly want to stay for hours. The food is on a whole different level: every dish feels carefully crafted, fresh, and full of flavor. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients and the chef’s attention to detail. And the cocktails… absolutely brilliant. Perfectly balanced, creative, and full of character – easily some of the best I’ve had in Urla. If you’re looking for a spot that combines gourmet flavors, a warm ambiance, and top-notch service, Barba Urla is a must-visit. I left already thinking about my next visit!

This restaurant left me unsure where to start describing it. In Urla's rising gastronomic scene, it has secured a top spot for me in terms of quality, ambiance, and service. The menu nods to fine dining while staying true to local flavors. The olives and olive oils, harvested specifically for the restaurant, are exceptionally delicious. The presentation of the cigkofte is unique and delightful. Both the hummus and eggplant dishes were excellent. The pita and octopus were outstanding. The bite-sized baklavas with ice cream were innovative and delicious. It’s a place I wholeheartedly recommend and hope it continues to maintain its high standards.

One of the most delicious restaurants in Urla. The food is top-quality, and the staff are incredibly polite. It should be at the top of your list, even during your shortest visits to Urla. Be sure to try their cocktails!

They kindly squeezed us in as a pair to sit at the chefs table (bar top). We enjoyed the experience of watching the chefs. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. The setting is right on the water with a lovely patio for sunsets. The price is very reasonable for the calibre of food. Our service was good in the beginning but dropped off weirdly to nothing by the end and we had to seek someone out to finish up. All in all it was great!

Barba takes you on a culinary journey through Aegean cuisine and impresses with high-quality regional products, exquisite interpretations of traditional recipes and exceptionally good service. You'll want to come here more often to get a taste of the entire menu, which changes every few months, just like the seasons. Tip: if you want to try a delicious, traditional breakfast, I recommend staying at the hotel Kıyıda Urla!

Impeccable service ambiance food 5 star isn’t enough to explain the quality beyond anything I’ve experienced in Urla or in Turkey. Highly recommend if you’re a food connoisseur with inventive takes on traditional dishes. You will not be disappointed.
