Now, restaurants choose the hotel

Antalya’s iconic 7 Mehmet has brought its cuisine to Bodrum under the name Daha, serving dinner in the hotel’s largest outdoor dining space.
It was one of those warm Bodrum evenings, with a gentle breeze drifting in from the sea. As we enthusiastically shared a seafood pasta served in a gleaming copper pan, the elegantly dressed East Asian couple at the next table suddenly struck up a conversation in English. “This was our favorite dish too,” they smiled before asking, “So, what do you think of this chef?”
I told them that Osman Sezener is one of my favorite chefs in Türkiye and someone whose work I have followed with great admiration for years. They smiled. The gentleman pointed at his partner and said, “We were actually planning to stay at another hotel in Bodrum. But she insisted that we had to dine at The Kitchen. So we changed our hotel and booked here instead.”
