Post by: cassie5 on April 06, 2019, 09:50:31 AM
im staying at the jiva beach for 2 weeks in june ,but even though we are all inclusive my partner and myself enjoy venturing out for breakfast,lunch,and dinner on some days can anyone recommend places to eat either in calis or fethiye,we stayed in ovacik last august and thought the meals we had when we went out to eat were really excellent.thanks.

Could be a busy topic  :)

I'll kick off - Bella Mammas on the seafront is a  favourite for dinner. Breakfast at Babzen which is up the main bar/restaurant street and Mancero Kitchen on the Kordon in Fethiye. Loads more which members will tell you all about.

Jiva Beach is fab by the way, will be there very soon indeed.

Totally agree with Bella Mammas but also Babzen - walking away from the beach, from roundabout up Baris Manco approximately 100m on the right.

This may also give you some ideas

Bella Mama's,  Babzen, Charcoal Palace for fish & chips, Okyanus for fish and also reccommend English breakfast of Brother's Restaurant.  And I will definitely try Motif that will be opening soon.

So many to choose from, but for me Bella Mamas always a must. Meeting Point on the strip. George's on the prom, Charcoal Palace.
Motif will be a new one we'll all be trying this year  ;D
If you like watching sport (or even if you don''t} then Dawn Beach on the strip is great, just for a drink or snack, or a full meal. Echo, Isko and the team will make you very welcome. They also do a good breakfast.

Agree with all of the above and believe Gunisik is a must as well not just for the food but also the friendliness shown from Senay and Nuran

Yet another vote for Bella Mama's, (OP, do get a message here  ;) )

If you like a good curry then 'Calis Beach Indian Restaurant' Good flavourings, well spiced and good service from Hulky (Spelling).

Used to enjoy a breakfast on the beach at Aroma Beach, but i read in another section on here that this place is in a bit of turmoil with change of ownership/manager (Not sure exact details, but will be a shame if it differs from the past few years)

A friend of ours is staying in our Apartment and said they've been for a meal to Summer breeze near Lidl? Never heard of this one and didn't know there was a Lidl :D They said the meal was very nice anyway so maybe one for us to try too

Had a meal there last summer. It was very good and prices were very reasonable. English lady runs it with her Turkish hubby. It's around the corner and over the bridge from Lidl. Diagonally opposite the Dolmus boats.

Stoop, the restaurant you are referring to is Summer Rose and you are right in what you say - it is good value for money and well worth a visit.  Summer Breeze is the restaurant next door to the Nil Bar

I'd give Gustorante a thumbs up as well. Been there three times now and can't fault their food, yes the service can be a little hit and miss sometimes but it is improving, overall a friendly cozy venue, spotlessly clean and a good varied menu...

Have to agree. Four of us tried it a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately it was polling day and alcohol could not be served, so we couldn't wash it down with a bootle of wine. I had Beef Buritto's and it was delicious.

Obens at the end of the prom is nearest to Java.. Don’t miss it and if you drink wine about 10 lira a bottle cheaper than the same wine everywhere else.. Food is excellent and a great price..

Also Bella Mammas.. Gunislik. And in Fethiye if you want traditional Eastern Turkish food you can’t beat Mosaic Bachesi and Pasha kebab do The best pide we have ever eaten.. it’s on the main road coming out of Fethiye..

For my money,wouldn't bother to go back to Gustorante; have eaten there twice over the winter - first time, service very slow & food startlingly average. Only returned as it was hissing down with rain & I was able to park virtually on the doorstep - 2 meals tasted fine, though non too warm, the other was pretty dried out, again the service was slow

Neither time could they claim to have been busy. Sorry, but there are so many other places where the service & food are so much better, prices comparable & with a decent view

I've only been to Gustorante once and Dogan and I had their village breakfast. I'm a bit of a connoisseur of village breakfasts as those of you that know me well will know and I can highly recommend it.

It's called the Aegean breakfast on the menu and less than 60 TL for two people so not sure how they make a profit considering how plentiful it was.

This is my review with photos on Google https://goo.gl/maps/V4AxH7hyzeJ2 

If you're visiting the Sunday market it is well worth a try   :)

Gustorante on the market road is a must. Casa De Mamas , Obens and Moto bar on the Calis Prom. Guven’s just beyond the Aroma beach Bar also in Calis. On the Corden try Reissrestaurant. Which is at the end of the beautiful new park.
Further onto the Corden, try Denizetti and Manceros.
Lastly and best of all is Kukina cafe at the entrance to the Umbrella street in Fethiye.

Summer Rose (previously Barbella's) is getting great reviews on Trip Advisor.  Abuzer and his wife Dominique have only been in business for a year, Abu previously having worked at the Nil and Bogazici, before setting up in partnership with Tarik at Summer Breeze. though that did not end well.  Fair play to them for taking a risk and opening their own establishment.  Currently ranked 7th in Fethiye and 1st in Calis.  I don't visit as often I could, but I think the reviews they're getting are bang on.

I’m just back from a short break to Albufeira Portugal not one meal that we had compared to the taste and quality as well as value for money as any we have had in Calis in the past , so can’t wait to get back start of May for my usual visits to Casa di Mammas Obens Babzen Kebab Zentara Beach to mention a few and really looking forward to first visit to Motif

Thought we would try Babzen last night after all its good reviews on here.

Just Wow! Food outstanding, Service could not fault, and Cost.......Half what we paid in one of the 'Strip' restaurants the night before. I like the fact that the bill gives you the price for your meal in TL, GBP, USD (+1 other can't remember), so for 2 meals, 4 drinks, 2 desserts, plus the Pufferbread..........Just a tad over £19. OUTSTANDING Value.

Won't hesitate to come back again and FULLY recommend Babzen for Turkish Kebabs.


On another point, I do note that the prices are up a fair old wack this year from last, but still good value for what you are getting.

You  mus t try Motif. New only just opened. Owners previous of Mozaic in Fethiye.That was best restaurant ever. Must say new owners are also excellent. Nicola and Dogan will give you a wonderful meal.But be warned you may have to wait for a table, I believe it has always been full even in April .
