Menemen (Greek: Μενεμένη), is a district of İzmir Province in Turkey as well as the district's central town. The district extends on a fertile plain formed by the alluvial soil carried by the Gediz River. Menemen's district area neighbors the following district areas from east to west; Aliağa and Foça to the north and Bornova, Karşıyaka and Çiğli to the south, these last two being among İzmir's metropolitan districts. Menemen district also has a 27 km (17 mi) long coastline in the west and neighbors Manisa Province to the east. The town of Menemen is located at a distance of 35 km (22 mi) from İzmir center (Konak Square). Settlement across the district is loosely scattered along the Greater Metropolitan Area of İzmir in the south and consists of isolated villages along prairies in the north, which results in an average urbanization rate of only 42 per cent. The economy still relies on agriculture and stock breeding in large part, although the production and export of leather, ceramic and other earthenware products, as well as potentially of plastic products, based in two separate and specialized organized industrial zones made important steps forward during the last decade. Menemen's earthenware pottery products are famous across Turkey since centuries. These two organized industrial zones as well as activities rebounding from the adjacent İzmir metropolitan area gain an increasing importance in the district's economy. Nevertheless, Gediz River, whose lower basin crosses Menemen plain to join the sea within the district boundaries still constitutes the lifeline of the region and matters relating to the river's flow as well as its present rate of rather high pollution is a matter of constant debate. The level of education is high in Menemen with literacy rate reaching 99%.

This restaurant was recommended both by my business college and Tripadvisor crowd and they are all right because it serves great vegetarian and seafood mezze and very tasty grilled fish. In front of the sea and in the Terrace, a fantastic meal

It was listed within most of the "must see" in Izmir lists, so that we visited Sevinc Pastry in Alsancak and had famous Pavlova along with Turkish coffee. As it was said, the place was full with lovely Izmir people from every age and social...MoreHello, thank you so much for prefer to İzmir's Sevinç and share your thoughts with us.

Stopped in for a late lunch. First time eating on the Kordon. Chose all our entrees and main dishes that were on display inside before sitting down in the outside area. Great service. Fresh ingredients and the sea bass was grilled to perfection. Not cheap by Turkish standards but good value in comparison to anywhere else in the Mediterranean. Recommended.

A chick location where you can eat southeast Turkey cousine. Very very delicious and meaty food. You can order every kind of meat there!
A bit pricy when compared with Izmir. You must make reservation otherwise you need a lot of luck to find random place at nights (especiallyon weekends).
It is a must have eating experience in my opinion.

The romantic setting of this old winery restaurant that was purchased because of the ancient plane tree in the courtyard is enhanced by excellent dishes and wine as well as the superb service. Meat dishes are their speciality and I recommend the fillet steak. You can buy wine on the premises in the cellar below the restaurant . Not to be missed!

The food is excellent and varied. The service is quick and very proffessonal. And they bring a multilingual iPad menu! My favourite dish is mixed grill. You must also try the desserts. It has a nice and comfortable atmosphere. The prices are a bit high but you definitely get your money's worth.

This restaurant is a hidden surprise just next door to a fuel station with an amazing garden overlooking Izmir. Ambiance is nice, staff are friendly, service is good, the wine selection is awesome and the Turkish cuisine menu especially steaks are great. They even have indoor rooms for business occasions and meetings. Strongly recommended
