Thank you all so much for all your lovely comments and good wishes, and for once again voting us the best restaurant in Fethiye 2015. We are going to miss you all terribly and it will be very strange not to be the owners at Mozaik. We still haven't really come to terms with it yet and I am still managing the FB page for the time being.
I am now able to confirm that we have completed the sale on the restaurant to a lovely young couple and some of you may know the new owners.
Hussein (spelling?) originally from Hatay and who currently manages the service in Adres Restauarnt and his wife (Deren sp?) are the new owners and they will work together running the restaurant.
Hussein has offered all the staff to stay on in their jobs although it is possible there may be the odd change but that's not unusual as people do come and go, and the menu will, as I understand it remain largely unchanged.
Hussein has a huge amount of restaurant experience, has worked in kitchens and I believe Adres has something like 40 staff that he is responsible for managing so he is ready to take the next step and take on his own restaurant.
We will be around, behind the scenes at the beginning of the season to help him get started but you won't see us there as we don't want to get in their way. We, or I, may however lead in organizing the opening party for them so that may be the one day when we will be there.
I believe that they are thinking of opening in mid April and I'll continue to update CBF with any news and relevant developments until they open. I am sure like us you will wish the new owners every success for the future.
As for what we will be doing, yes Wendy I'd like to spend more time on improving my photography and in early May Dogan and I will be heading off in our motor home to travel around Turkey, visit places that are normally only accessible or viable to visit in the summer months, revisit old favourites, and if possible spend time along the eastern border.
Beyond the next 18 months or so we do have some ideas about what we would like to do next but we shall have to wait and see, and who knows what opportunities might present themselves along the way...
I'll still be here on CBF as the forum has always been more to me than just a means to promote our business, and I'll probably start a new topic to share some of our photos from our travels.
Again, thank you so much to all those that have made the past seven years so memorable.
