"It is one of the best seafood restaurants in not only the city but also Turkey. The service provided by the polite staff was excellent. The staff members were also so fast and responsive. The prices were indeed not expensive compared to others. So it has a great value. All the food we tasted was amazing. The atmosphere inside was outstanding as well."

Ankara Restaurants - Tranigo
It is a favorite seafood restaurant with a terrace on the roadside offering an outdoor and indoor dining offer. The decor has light furniture with marine atmosphere and provides an enjoyable environment for lunch and dinner. It also has cold meze available for the guest to choose from with an option of pan-fried or grilled fish to satisfy your taste buds.
Turkey is better known for its grilled meats than its fish, but a visit to Balıkçıköy Fahri Çukurambar (tel: +90 312 428 0047; www.balikcikoy.com.tr) could help sway your stomach. This classy seafood bar is one of the best (and most affordable) restaurants in town. This is alfresco dining to die for - or at least write gushy tweets about.
Best Restaurants in Ankara | Grand Sirkeci Hotel
The Tunali branch of Balıkköy, the third to open, is one of Ankara's favorite seafood restaurants. A patio on the roadside, sheltered by a tall hedge, provides diners with an outdoor space. At the same time, the main eating rooms are decorated with various marine decor and light furnishings.
Özler Döner - Ankara
Even though Ankara lies some distance from the sea, it certainly doesn't lack seafood restaurants. Guests are encouraged to go heavy on the appetizers, which are varied and a true culinary experience.
