Anyway, if people can cope with my scorn - my main points are that the fear of missing out causes menus to blur into each other causing a stifling lack of choice, and that the protectionist work permit system that is in place to safeguard Turkish interests actually more often harms Turkey than helps it. Whatever Mr Farmer might think, you can't learn to cook Chinese food authentically from a book or from a few weeks working abroad - and the result is further worsened by the huge costs involved with importing ingredients. So what you are left with is a local version made by a local person with locally available ingredients - it's not going to be authentic is it?

I do wish the prom was made up of local fish restaurants (this can be done in the Fethiye fish market with superb quality), kebap restaurants and places like Mozaik Bahce, showing us some of the wonderful regional variations that a country as diverse as Turkey must have in abundance.

I have a feeling that once upon a time it was a bit like that, then one restaurant spied a plate of chips coming out in another, and it was a very slippery slope from that day to this. I remember the Han restaurant, specialists in Chinese, Indian AND Mexican (although not Turkish) cuisines. How tragic that was.

I also remember one particular restaurant on the front who proudly shouted out to us as we walked the front that their Chinese food was the best and most authentic in Calis as their chef was all the way from Bangkok.

Made me laugh at the time anyway.

Yes, you are right - I read "Rubbish?" as "Rubbish!" - big difference, and I offer my public apology.

We also tried in August and ended up with 5 very unhappy teenagers and two even more miserable adults.  Dreadful...

Theres one restaurant in Hisaronu, who everone rates their Indian curries as the the most "Authentic" and "To die for". But the owner was on a forum at one time, asking holiday makers to bring him out jars of Sharwoods curry sauce.

What an idiot. If he knew anything about authentic curries he'd have asked for Loyd Grossman's :D

I cant immagine going all the way to Fethiye to eat cury you cant even get a proper one in the UK just a stogy english version of something that will shock most true Asians, however, there are great places to eat/dine in Fethiye with realy good service looovvveeeely as for hagis I have driven to the west of Scotland many a time for a good Hagis, a good wisky and fun nights so for the real stuff go to India and for hagis go to Scotland and for Turkish go to Fethiye. man i,m getting hungry think i'll fly over to Fethiye for a weekend.
