Title: Mozaik Bahçe restaurant 2016 review (s)
Post by: nichola on April 13, 2016, 11:37:01 AM
Last night Dogan and I went to Mozaik for their opening night. Our first ever time as customers in Mozaik that to be honest will probably always feel like our 'baby'.

Arriving at around 8.30pm the restaurant was full...  :o It was really great to see the restaurant so busy as I know Huseyin and Deren have been understandably a little worried about how good the season will be and how it will affect them. It was also great to see so many familiar faces although we didn't get to talk to everyone but it was nice to catch up with Don and Maureen     :)

We took a seat in the köşk and had a drink, and moved to a table later to have our meal.

I am very happy to report that the food was excellent and with Murat still in the kitchen would have expected nothing else.

We are looking forward to our next visit - the Moziac Special looks fantastic.

Sadly, I see the portions haven't diminished any   ;)

You can always share John, I'm still stuffed from last night. We shared the humus with hot butter sauce and pine kernels as a starter but I forgot to photograph that. Too busy tucking in    :)

Five weeks to go. it will feel strange with new owners but I am sure they wont let you down. No doubt you will be planning your adventures for the future as the weather gets warmer.Do hope the area is not going loose you forever and that you will keep a base here in Fethiye area. All the best of wishes for you both ;D

Hopefully it won't be too strange as with the same staff team and menu much of it will feel really familiar. I was surprised how quickly I slipped into the new role as customer although it was a bit weird not to go to chat to everyone I knew which was most people. Didn't think it was really appropriate to do that on their first night. But last night I did get asked for the bill though   ;)

Yes, Dogan and I will still have a base here. This is our home we have a lovely house and green garden with a very country and peaceful feel, apart from the bees humming and the birds singing and that Dogan calls paradise.

Dogan is actually off tomorrow to walk the Lycian Way from here to Antalya 500+ kilometres. I'm going to start a new CBF topic and share some of his photos from along the walk. Then in June we will be off on our travels along the Black Sea coast and I will do the same again. And then, there are plans to trek up to the top of Mount Ararat in east Turkey - not me personally you understand - Dogan and a couple of friends. So a busy summer ahead    :)

We do have some new business ideas for the future but that's for a little while down the road. You will all be the first to know whatever they are    :)

Hi Nichola it was great to chat to you and Dogan last night. The meal was excellent as always and the ginger beer went down very well.  :)

I've known Hussein for a few years and I'm sure he will carry on the high standard you always had. Good luck to you and Dogan in the future which ever path you go down.  :)

We went to the Mozaik last night - as we do every year - for Mrs Tickets Birthday.  What I can report is that things are consistent as it was last year and in other past years.  That's consistently GOOD.  Good food, good service and a warm welcome from most of the old team.  The only difference was the faces of the 'leadership' team.  I know that Nic and Dogan will be missed, but I think they'll agree that it won't last long, as they have found us perfect replacements in Huseyin and Deren!  ;)

Plus c'est change!

Jenny, they will still be selling the lighting but not on the scale that I was at the moment. I am also still selling the mosaic lighting so if you don't see what you're looking for anyone is free to contact me and assuming I'm around will be happy to help. Obviously it's more convenient if you're in Ovacık...

Thank you for your good wishes

Mozaik doesn't operate a reservation system but getting a table isn't a problem even if there is a short wait as there will be a seating area where you can browse the menu and have a drink if you like.

Also worth noting, as before, Mozaik is not open on Sundays at all.
