I Visited Od Urla in Turkey— One of the Best Farm to Table Michelin Restaurants Worldwide

In this video, I take you with me to Urla — a small, charming town on the Aegean coast of Turkey that has quietly grown into one of the country’s most fascinating culinary destinations. Between vineyards, olive trees, and peaceful village roads, Urla carries a spirit that feels both humble and deeply inspiring. Before heading to Od Urla, we walk through the town center — where locals still sit in cafés, life flows slowly, and tradition meets a new generation of creativity. Urla may be small, but it has become a true culinary hub, home to several remarkable restaurants and chefs who draw their inspiration directly from the land around them. Od Urla is one of the most special places among them — a Michelin star restaurant built on a philosophy of respect for nature, seasonality, and simplicity. It is farm-to-table in the truest sense of the word: ingredients grown on the surrounding land, harvested with care, and transformed into dishes that feel honest, thoughtful, and deeply connected to their origin. We sit right in front of the open kitchen, watching the team work with quiet focus — every plate created with intention, every detail considered without excess or show. It feels less like a typical restaurant visit and more like an experience where elegance and nature meet in harmony. Urla is not only a place you visit — it’s a place you feel. A landscape, a community, and a culinary culture that continues to grow, inspire, and shape the region. Thank you to the team at Od Urla for the hospitality — and for reminding us how powerful simple, sincere and meaningful food can be. ‪@od_urla‬
