Having recently criticised the “value for money†and standard of the restaurants in Kalkan (and been slaughtered for my comments) I thought I should give credit where it was due.
A recent post reccommended a restaurant on the Kalkan – Kas road (can’t remember it’s name, just past Kaputas) for fresh fish. After being quoted a rip off 75 lire for two fish we quickly left and made our way to a family run restaurant “Gümüş’ün Yeri†(opposite Adems on the Kas road) we have frequented for the past 6 years, great views, great welcome and OK food.
Wow! what a change in the quality of food, it is excellent. How come the transformation? Ali & Aysun Benli have been joined by Ali’s brother Hüseyin & his wife Beyhan to run the restaurant. Hüseyin worked at the Korsan for many years & is now responsible for the kitchen & menu.
We enjoyed many good meals in Kalkan including: The Kebab House, Doy Doy, Trio, Aubergine etc! However, Gümüş’ün Yeri was by far the best for fresh fish, my wife say’s it’s the best she has ever had & I can''t disagree.
I thought you may be interested in an example of an evening meal we enjoyed there:
Starters:
Calamari – deliciously soft & crispy
Borek – very fresh & home made, crispy & dry
Main Course
Fresh Sea Bass – (deep fried), crispy skin & perfect, served with roast potatoes and baby onion
Grouper Kebab – skewered with lemon, bay leaves & peppers, delicious
Aubergine with tomato sauce & yogurt – words can''t describe how good this was
Desert
I don''t know the name, it was a hot treacly thing made with butter & sugar and served with ice cream, yummy!
Coffees & pistachio Turkish delight
Drinks
A bottle of Lal & 5 Effes ( I know, but I wasn''t driving) Hüseyin provides a free pick up (brother in laws taxi) & drop off: simply call him on: 0532 406 4643 to arrange
Total Cost: 100 lire
All in all, a fantastic meal and a very enjoyable evening. If you fancy a night away from the heat of Kalkan this is the best we have been to.

Hi
Can completely agree with Kensarrived. We went there earlier this month at lunchtime. The food was just fantastic. We enjoyed vegetable/ chicken casseroles and the fresh fish, all delicious. Everything was so fresh and could easily rival any of the top restaurants in Kalkan. Huseyin and his family could not have been more welcoming, and there was a lovely family atmosphere. The views are also stunning from the restaurant and there was a nice cooling breeze.
We will definitely be going again the next time we are in Kalkan ;D

We have been going to this restaurant since we first came to Kalkan in 2005...it is our favourite - it has changed a bit this year...the only reason I would say that is not for the better is that we used to love practising our turkish, and getting into hand signal conversations...but now we have the "guy" from Korsan who speaks perfect english so we new exactly what we had ordered for lunch...but above that - the views and food are top notch!
