Reviews Summary
Cem Can Restaurant offers a unique market-to-table seafood experience, with many praising the freshness of the fish and the delicious meze appetizers. However, some diners have encountered issues with slow service, unexpected charges, and inconsistent food preparation. The restaurant's concept is a significant draw, but attention to detail in service and pricing could enhance the overall dining experience.
"Service was fast, and very professional. Waiters were very friendly and helpful.
We picked the fish and the shrimp from the market, and have the restaurant cook for us. There’s a cooking fee of 30TL per person per item.
The appetizers were generally pretty delicious. Especially the Aegean herbs in the casserole. A mixture of spinach and various herbs cooked in the oven. Highly recommended!
Kabak tatlısı was also good. I would give it a try. It’s a nice finish taste after having fish.
Prices were decent and reasonable. This place is the second best restaurant amongst the seafood restaurants in the fish market.
Overall score 4.2/5 for a Seafood Restaurant"

"An outstanding find that truly exceeds its rating. The owner greeted us with warmth and friendliness, and there was no pressure to tip or pay extra service fees. The seafood platter is perfectly seasoned. The grilled fish tastes fresh but smoky and buttery at the same time. A very good meal!
适合中国胃，好吃爱吃😘"

"Since 1988 and so few reviews? That smells fishy.
Fish was cooked too dry, and I was given wrong information about the prices.
Go to a restaurant not at the fish market and order your fish there. Cheaper and more tasty for sure."
