About Polar Bear Of Leura

Tucked along Leura Mall, this mountain retreat balances fireside comfort with punchy Turkish and Mediterranean plates. Hikers drop in off the tracks for slow-cooked lamb shish and heaps of beer-battered fries, or settle near the hearth over generous platters of Iskender kebab layered over soft bread and yogurt. The bar shakes up customized tipples alongside smoked whiskey, capping off dinner with tableside flaming desserts.

  • Turkish & Mediterranean comfort: Generous servings of Iskender kebab, menemen, and spiced lamb shish offer robust post-hike fuel.
  • Theatrical bar & tableside sweets: Bespoke drink creations, smoked whiskey, and desserts set aflame right at the table.
  • Fireside mountain setting: Cozy hearthside seating with prime people-watching windows over Leura Mall.
