Lots of owners and head waiters in the old town follow EK and TA and search for mentions of their restaurants.

To be honest Kalkankiwi we went to Aubergine last year saving it as a "special treat" and we too were very disappointed in both the service and quality of food especially as I had it down as a must try after reading comments on here about it. Maybe we just hit it on a bad night but I most certainly won't go back this year as there are so many other good ones to choose from. Has anyone out there been to the Mussaka on the harbour yet as we are putting this down as a must do for this year so would be nice to hear from anyone that has been yet. 2 weeks to go now cannot wait!!!!

We went in April and it was ok but nothing special. The food is elaborately presented but really no better than you can find in lots of other restaurants. The service was as usual a bit hit and miss; my main arrived just as everyone else was finishing their's.

The best bit is definitely the puddings, all were excellent and huge. We will probably go back in July just for the puddings.

Hi,
Both Mussakkas were superb. Great food and service. Well done Mehmet!

Parc Kalkan is adding to it's menu to allow more traditional turkish options!
They are introducing two set menus, a vegetarian one, 3 courses for 15tl and a meaty one, 3 courses for 20tl!
Watch the board outside the restaurant as well as the first 2 weeks of June are full of special offers!

Yeah I agree, the food in Parc Kalkan is very good, have eaten in there a fair few times, Marley the head waiter is a lovely lad, and a Red

...............we had a full english in there on our first morning, not bad at all

Has anyone tried Rosehip yet? We've put this on our list of ones to try next week.

Aubergine was always a favourite of ours but we had bad food and service on two seperate visits in 2009 (neither of which were during the peak season) and we've not been back since. The standard and choice of restaurants in Kalkan means reputation alone will not keep customers. There are some great restaurants in Kalkan and we're looking forward to trying new ones as well as "old" favourites. Keep the reviews coming please

Looking forward to hearing how you get on at Rosehip Nicky.....Orlando is a real character!

My daughter has just come back from Kalkan and her favourites were Kosk - once again, Pisces, Mussaka in the old town and Aubergine - although she did say it was very expensive. We went to Aubergine two years ago and had a distinctly ordinary meal for an extraordinary price so haven't been back. She also found Coast expensive and very average.

Kosk I find is always consistently good - last year we were very disappointed in Chapter One and the Old Trading House, but loved Pisces which had just opened.

Where is Parc Kalkan? Will try the food in Fener this year, have been there many times for drinks and always liked it.

Aubergine is taking some knocks but I have to agree with Kalkan4eva. We always went there until this time when we just find the prices too much + 7TL for a beer. It's a shame because you get to know the staff and feel guilty not going in.

If we want the harbour we always go to the next level. Our favourite is Akin Restaurant, Excellant food, Bayram's smile makes our holiday, his staff are all friendly and very helpful, It's our little piece of heaven sitting there enjoying the harbour views, watching people pass by whilst we're enjoying a chilled efes Mmm bliss................. The olives in a mild chilli dip with home made bread which they bring whist you wait for your meal.......and to finish off ask for a piece of Ayson's special dessert......wow......... If you are lucky you'll end up dancing in the street too.
Try Akin Restaurant the next time you're in Kalkan we really don't think you'll be dissapointed........

Lower end of the price scale Akbel Restaurant, Four people 8 beers 2 sprite 4 main courses, all for under 100 lira Great value excellant food I had swordfish with capons 15 lira you can't find that in Kalkan for that price.........Well worth a visit, they have a new chef and if he was in Kalkan I'm sure they would have a waiting list.......He's Kunife is Mmmm
All this talk of food is making me hungrey..........................

Enişte · « **Reply #55 on:** June 02, 2011, 02:01:34 PM »

Tiamaria - is that swordfish with capons the Akbel version of surf-n-turf?..... Sounds really good value though!

Cuddles · « **Reply #56 on:** June 02, 2011, 02:07:36 PM »

Odak is really good now that Mustafa is back in charge.
On a friends reccommendation we went in for the 20TL meze and main course .The 8 different Mezes are amazing and the main courses were Kofte and/or chicken drumsticks.
The same friend told us of the latest offer, for only 30TL, plate of mezes or soup, fried liver or chicken shish both served with rice and salad and freshly cooked, followed by fruit. Truly tasty Turkish, totally terrific.
Why at 9pm were we the only two in there?

samson · « **Reply #57 on:** June 02, 2011, 04:26:03 PM »

that is 30tl for two people by the way!

In April & early May the Moonlight and Yali were charging 6TL - I'm happy to pay 1TL extra for that view and ambience. I also find Aubergine's spirits are served in a much larger quantity than those served in most of the bars.

If you walk out of town and go straight on at the roundabout as if going to the market, Kaya restaurant is on your right, Parc Kalkan is a bit further up but on the left. Always good when I have been.
