Eating out in Fethiye 2009

[Gorgeous_bird]

Well the Marsh family pilgrimmage to fethiye is over for 2009 and here is my list of great places to eat/drink and maybe a not so great.

Ojakbasi x 2 - Excellent
Pasha Kebab x 2 great
Green Valley complex, Deliktas- Excellent
Enginar (paspatur) x 2 - really lovely meals, different from the norm.
Nefis Pida - yum
Blue Cafe- great steak baguette and lovely fresh fruit drinks (I got fed up of coke and Efes)
The Sundial for George's birthday- spectacular and a really lovely meal! a big shout out to the biggun from wigan
The pancacke laides in Fethiye market x 4


The genis cafe terrace- Fethiye Harbour - spectacular location, terrible food and service. Tried to serve us our mains without the starter and when the starters came tried to take them away minutes later to give us our mains. A table of 6 walked out in disgust as the starters they ordered came out one at a time and were cold. Shan't try again as we had hoped it had improved from last year but no.

That said - it was our worst dining experience except when we ate in of course[^]

We've never had a problem with Cafe Genis in the six years we have been going. Just shows you can get unlucky (or lucky) on occasions.

Or some people are easily pleased. :D

Never been unlucky at Cafe Genis until they extended upstairs last year. Last year was bad but they did acknowledge that they had done a poor job that we felt they deserved another chance (it's all about how they deal with the mistakes for me) so we went again. Never again, I notice that the Marina Restraunt is closed at present as they are doing the same thing and extending upstairs to make a terrace. Hope they don't go the same way.

Glad someone else has mentioned  the Enginar, we found this place by accident..It was empty and most people would not go in .Are we glad we did! The decor is fresh and clean..lime green and modern.

The food was wonderful..nouveau turkish..emphasis on nouveau..but plenty to eat. Presented beautifully and the rice salad and chips..not the boring old iceberg..raddiccio lettuce and a lovely sauted pepper mix.

Visit and you won't be disappointed

Maybe we have been lucky but we go every year and have always had lovely lunches and great service.

Had a great meal there only 3 weeks ago - mixed kebab for me and seabass for Maggie. Enjoyed every mouthful (yes and even the efes at 4ytl)

Unfortunately on the last day we were there she lost her chef, Arzu is trying hard to get a replacement so the menu may be limited slightly whilst she gets a replacement. But a really different menu and certainly too much food on the plate. In fact on the second time we went she said she would prepare a small dish of meze. It was huge and the stuff on it was so different to the normal hidari, peppers etc. Seaweed (which was yum) home made humus, aubergene with tahini. lovely. When the main course came out we said that her profit margin must be tiny as there was so much food. She said it was because we were friends but blimey it was massive.

GB where is Enginar please?

In paspatur in the lane directly opposite the Large Infinity jewellry shop. The back of Fiore cafe if opposite and Nefis pida a few doors away.
