We only discovered Lokantas this year (or should that be we've seen them but never tried them).  Great value for money and everything we tried we enjoyed.

You're not dim Karen, we didnt know either!  Now someone may correct me on this but we were told Lokanta just means restaurant which is why you see different names in front of 'Lokanta'.  I don't know whether this is for different places where the lokantas are situated or something else - but as I said, someone may correct me!  :)

Often you can see a wide variety of the meals on offer behind a glass cabinet Karen, you'll know the sort of place I'm sure.

Their menus are usually quite limited, as most of what is on offer are dishes of the day ie made from ingredients that are good & cheap at the time

We tend to steer clear of food that is kept 'just tepid' for hours on end....I think it's called 'salmonella stew'....a sure fire way to end up with the old Turkey Trots!

Also, sorry but I think Pasa Kebab is a bit on the pricy side - there are certainly cheaper places where a family on a budget could find a cheap nourishing meal.

We eat in the lokantas often and have never once had stomach problems.  
We actually prefer them to the places on the front where it's steak, steak and steak again with a different sauce.

Back to the plot, if you are eating out in Fethiye try the Mozaik Bahçe authenity healthy food at really good prices.  My daughter was so taken with the place and could not get over how cheap the food was and what big helping she got. In Calis Beach try the Amber Pide opposite the Tugay Hotel.
