Title: Nice places to sit and eat
Post by: Loujasmin on July 22, 2017, 22:43:38 PM
Hi again,
Two weeks today we will be in calis!  :) have heard that Bambu and SAT are nice places but any other recommendations?  :)

Just back and I would say our Calis based recommendations would be Bella Mammas for a good meal and sunset watch and Mangal for a lighter kebap based meal.

Totally agree with Bella Mamma

For a snack - the Lighthouse - superb !

And just next door to our hotel  :)

We found the service pretty poor at times though. Shambolic at other times.

Just have a wander along the front, and pop into the one that takes your fancy. Usually the best way.

I agree, wander along and take your pick.  There's something for everyone that's for sure.

Bella Mama definitely, we also enjoyed eating in Georges, plus Calis Beach Indian and the Anatolian.  Drinks and watching sunset, Lees bar, er oz, beach house, but agree with previous comments any along the front are good, depends what you want to eat.

 I have heard good reports about the new place next to The Nil Bar.. (no idea what it is called)... We like the Aroma beach house at the far end of the beach.. very relaxing..

Many thanks for your recommendations, they all sound lovely. We don't eat meat but we do eat fish so hoping for some nice fresh fish dishes.
Anything that suggests beachfront or sunset view ticks my boxes  :) can't wait !

The upstairs restaurant at Leton Hotel (presently called The Uptown) would be hard to beat location wise but not sure hat the food is like.

Loujasmin, if you are fish eaters I can recommend the Hilmi Restaurant which is not really in Calis, but along the promenade between Calis and Fethiye.   You would probably be best getting a taxi out there and asking for the Hilmi, next door to Mancero Restaurant.  You can get a table right on the edge of the prom overlooking the water. Great food and fabulous views.

George's is a good restaurant. Family owned for over 30 years and the quality and standards never vary.

Okyanus is the next one down from the Lighthouse on the prom - sunset view seafood restaurant. If you get a taxi the best in my view is Yengec in Karagozler 2, small marina and fantastic fish.

   There is only one true fish restaurant called Okyanus and it is fantastic.Eaten the so many times I have lost count. It is along the Calis sea front about 3/4 of the way up from the main entrance to the prom from the bridge end. Also at the other end of the prom as far as you can go is a place called sat beach club and restaurant.There you can choose fish from the counter and cook it your self on BBQ's plus its a stunning location to watch the sunsets.

Thanks again to all replies, a week tomorrow we will be there! Eek  :) does one need to book in a popular place like bambu or Sat?
Title: Re: Nice places to sit and eat
Post by: mercury on July 28, 2017, 19:13:58 PM
Food not very good at The Bambi... Try The Beach house a bit further on.. I would book if you want to sit outside.. The Bambu is more comfortable if you just want a drink .

The Sunday breakfast at the Sat Restaurant is supposed to be excellent although we haven't tried it yet. There is a new place on the main street down to the bridge/beach, about 4 down on the left side with the sea in front of you - very new and very new looking, modern - it looks very pleasant and clan and we were recommended to try there for Turkish Breakfast.
