Title: Best Bar and Restaurant in Calis in 2018 - Results
Post by: Highlander on January 01, 2019, 19:22:14 PM

The resounding winner in 2018 was newcomer Babzen.. If our visits were anything to go by the win was down a peaceful setting, good service and excellent food.

Bella Mammas was second again which must surely be down to their consistent quality.

Oben was a very close third - again down to consistency.

Thanks to all those who voted

Walking away from the beach head towards the traffic lights.  Cross over the road, staying on Baris Manco Blv and Babzen is on the right hand side just after Sok supermarket.   It's really worth a visit    :)

Yes, very well deserved Salih - and as I have said many times, SO pleased it’s with a Turkish menu! With Nichola and Dogan starting up on the front this year, it will be so nice for visitors, at least, to be able to experience something more than the ’International’ cuisine prevalent in Calis!

Good news WendyA to hear that Nichola and Dogan are opening in Calis. Do you know the location of their restaurant?  We always had excellent meals at their place in Fethiye but didn't manage to visit them in Paradise Beach at Olu Deniz.

I've been told that Nichola & Dogan are taking on what was originally the Eyna. It's been Shanghai Blue for the past couple of years

It will be nice to see Nicola and Dougan along the front.  Does this mean shanghai blues won't be in calis anymore, we enjoyed our meals there.
