About Chefmetin
Chefmetin Moonlight Steakhouse sits in the Kadipasa district of Alanya, on the Turkish Mediterranean coast, and is run by chef-owner Metin Aldemir with his wife Zehra. In 2025 it was named number four on Tripadvisor's Travelers' Choice Best of the Best list of the world's top hidden-gem restaurants.
The Kitchen
Metin Aldemir cooks the grill himself. The kitchen is built around meat: char-grilled lamb chops and lamb shank are the dishes reviewers single out, alongside dry-aged and pepper steaks. Mains run roughly TRY 390 to 980 per person. Service is personal — the restaurant offers free pickup and takes bookings by phone.
The Room
The steakhouse is a relaxed, family-run room a short way back from the seafront, with a loyal following that has pushed it to the top of Alanya's Tripadvisor ranking across thousands of reviews. It reads as a destination grill rather than a tourist-strip stop.
Best for a Special Dinner
Book Chefmetin for a special dinner in Alanya: the grilling is the draw, the welcome is warm and personal, and the Tripadvisor record speaks to consistency. For more, see our Alanya dining guide and the global best steakhouses.
Not for
Not for vegetarians or anyone after a seafront-view table — this is a meat-first grill in a residential district, so book it for the steak, not the scenery.
