Simare Bodrum

Simare brings pizza, pasta and cocktails together in Kumbahçe, Bodrum, within a historic stone building that gives the dining room a grounded Mediterranean character. The setting combines old stone, light and a measured contemporary style, creating a place suited to unhurried meals and evening drinks.

The kitchen centres on thin-crust pizza cooked in a wood-fired oven. The pizzas follow a Neapolitan approach and use fresh ingredients, keeping the focus on the dough, the heat of the oven and straightforward Mediterranean flavours. Pasta is made by hand and prepared fresh each day, offering an Italian-style choice alongside the pizzas.

The bar adds a separate reason to stay longer. Simare serves signature cocktails and a selection of wines, making the venue suitable for a full meal, a drink before dinner or a later evening stop. The overall mood is calm and polished rather than formal, with an emphasis on natural materials, restrained detail and a relaxed pace.

Simare suits diners looking for familiar Italian cooking in a contemporary setting, whether the occasion calls for pizza shared at the table, freshly made pasta or cocktails with a meal. Its menu gives mixed groups room to choose between substantial dishes and drinks, while the stone surroundings add a sense of place without taking attention away from the food.

Located at Kumbahçe, Cumhuriyet Cd. No:157, Simare is part of a neighbourhood setting that fits a flexible dining plan. The restaurant works for an easy lunch or dinner, while the cocktail and wine offering gives the space an evening focus. Current arrangements for reservations, seating and dietary requests are best confirmed with the venue before a visit.
