Cocktails and small plates on İtalya Sokak
Drinks lead here, and the food comes in tapas-sized portions built to keep pace with the glass in your hand. Yön sits right on İtalya Sokak, deep in the Alsancak grid where İzmir actually goes out.
The street gets loud after ten and the outdoor tables are the ones everyone wants. Go early or plan on standing.

We went as a group of 4, we were very pleased with the service, thank you to all the staff. It's also a nice gesture to be able to see the menu and prices on their own website. We ordered various dishes to share, if I were to rank them from our favorites onwards; Zucchini fritters, sailor's pastry, onion casserole, spicy bulgur salad, fava beans, wine and cheese platter The zucchini fritters and sailor's pastry were very successful. The cherry sauce of the zucchini fritters and the honey sauce of the sailor's pastry offered an unusual flavor. The onion casserole was also among the most liked; in my opinion, it was like a classic onion appetizer. The spicy bulgur salad looks like raw meatballs, and the taste isn't very different either. If you're looking for a special flavor, I wouldn't recommend it. I don't really like fava beans; I thought it wouldn't have a spicy taste because it was spicy, but it was like classic fava beans. Fava bean lovers, tell me :)) I regret to say that a place that offers such nice, almost fine dining plates shouldn't have such a terrible cheese platter. Two types of three cheeses each, some walnuts and pickles... I don't know. I'm attaching a photo and leaving the judgment to you (390 TL). Generally speaking, the plates look impressive and create high expectations. The flavors are good, but I can't say it's price-performance ratio. I deducted one point for this reason.

We had a wonderful evening. Everything was delicious, from the appetizers to the main courses. The cleanliness and elegance of the place are immediately noticeable. The atmosphere is very pleasant; you really feel comfortable. The friendly service is an added bonus. We will definitely come back and recommend this place to everyone. Considering the portion sizes and presentation, the prices seemed very reasonable to us.

A wonderful place in Izmir where you'll leave with a smile on your face. We said we'd just have two appetizers and leave, but as you can see from the photos, we couldn't resist filling the table with more. The portions are just right for tasting, so we were able to try many different things, and they were all delicious. The staff are very attentive and friendly, and the service runs smoothly. The background music doesn't overpower the conversation. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant evening in Izmir.

Tonight, three female friends were at Yön. As someone who finds neighborhood venues very enjoyable, we were extremely pleased with our first experience at Yön. First of all, we would like to thank them for kindly accommodating our request for a table for four when we made the reservation so as not to be cramped. The atmosphere was extremely pleasant; our favorite music played softly in the background, and we enjoyed our conversation while listening to each other. The mezes we tried were in perfectly adequate portions and quite delicious. The service was fast and polite. The environment is refined; there's no crowd that would disturb anyone. The prices are reasonable. You can never feel cigarette smoke. I found many reviews biased in this regard. It has been added to our list of new places to enjoy raki and pleasant conversation.
