Anatolia Comes to Wallingford

  • Post author:

Bodrum MenuBack in July, Margaret posted that a new Turkish restaurant would be opening where the Golden Olive used to be (1712 N 45th St).

This past month, Bodrum opened! It’s the latest creation of chef-owner Sedat Uysal, who also runs Cafe Paloma in Pioneer Square. Also serving as chef is Pinar Özhal, and together they’re serving up traditional Anatolian (Turkish) cuisine in the “meyhane” style.

Sedat and Pinar met through the Seattle Turkish community, which numbers about 3,000.

Ask Sedat to draw a map of Turkey for you. He nails the coastline with remarkable detail.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.

    We ate there last evening and were very pleased. Split an eggplant mezza, a shepherd salad and a kofte entre. Quite enough for two.

    Anyone know if they are open for lunch during the week? I would call to ask but can’t find their phone number anywhere. Thanks!
