Title: Alternatif Restaurant - even better!!
Post by: collsmac on May 29, 2008, 02:52:12 PM: Just back from a short visit to Kalkan for my birthday and had a fab time as usual !!

We have always enjoyed dining in the Alternatif Restaurant but with the new decor and new chef it is even nicer.

My partner is a steak connoisseur ::) and must have had eaten steak in about 60% of the restaurants in Kalkan but still swears that the steaks in Aternatif are the best he has ever tasted. A new edition to the menu is the fruit pavlova which makes a really nice change for the usual Turkish desserts that are served in most restaurants.

For my birthday, Mustafa had personally made a ''huge'' fruit pavlova, complete with fire works display, which was a really nice touch. ;) :)

Mustafa & Erhan (spelling ???) are the perfect hosts and make everyone feel so welcome.

Post by: clooneyrooney on June 06, 2008, 09:31:52 PM: I have to agree with you Collsmac. We celebrated my sons 14th Birthday @ Alternatif last week and had a truly fantastic time.
Mustafa arranged a delicious birthday cake complete with fireworks for my son and hope that you can tell from the photos I have posted in the members gallery that he was "made up" with his birthday celebrations.
I agree that the steaks are very good, as was their special "Turkish Mousakka".
We had such a brilliant meal and time at Alternatif that I am considering celebrating my October birthday there when we are back in Kalkan in August!!!!

Post by: Enişte on July 01, 2008, 02:30:37 PM: From the photo on the Alternatif Atlantis website, I would suggest that they are NOT the same. Directions to the Alternatif restaurant are above. Please don''t sue me if my attempt to help is inadequate.

Post by: yoyo on July 01, 2008, 03:20:17 PM: Alternatif Atlantis is on the Kalamar Road just before the roundabout. The Alternatif is in the centre of the village near to Daphnes as mentioned above.

Post by: The Reds on July 26, 2008, 08:29:39 PM: Alternatif and Atlantis are both owned by Mustafa Akdeniz, that''s why probably why Atlantis is on his Alternatif web sight.
Can`t go wrong with either.

Post by: Wonderwall on July 27, 2008, 05:04:22 PM: Sorry but I need to correct you here - Atlantis is not owned by Mustafa, it is owned by Ozcan Turk. He and Mustafa WERE partners but Ozcan bought Mustafa out.
Title: Re: Alternatif Restaurant - even better!!
Post by: The Reds on July 27, 2008, 05:37:20 PM: Sorry did`t know that. Has Ozcan bought the building or just taken over the lease? Does`t really matter, both are good.
