In all restaurants we found the service really good. We did have one let down when we went for breakfast at Zayra after the sunday market. We sat for ten minuets and were ignored by the waiter who was happy to chat to a Turkish lady and drink tea. Even when we left he did not seem bothered at all. We went along to Ocakbasi and were welcomed with open arms.The guy showed us to our seats and said he would bring a menu.We said it was ok we both wanted an english breakfast , a black coffee and a latte.After about ten minuets the coffee came, one was black and the other was almost black.I said I wanted a latte and off he went, when he came back he said it was the machines fault, but the coffee was very much the same dark brown colour. He did bring a jug of milk which is not quite the same. After half an hour the breakfast had still not arrived. I got the waiters attention and it appears the reason it took so long is because they have to use four pans.
Anyway when it did come it was very very nice and we had a good laugh.
Going back to the restaurants we decided my best meal was Beef Stroganoff from the Anatolia and my wifes Prawn casserole from the Anatolia, she said the sauce was unbelievable. Value for money had to be the Turkuaz in Gunlukbasi. Best feel good and welcoming place was Obens. This is the place where I feel most relaxed and I could sit there all night and people watch.
