A lovely new restaurant opened here recently called Uzumhan. It is beautifully done out inside and also has a courtyard garden where you can while away the time with some cool beers! :)
The menu is varied with something to suit everyone and the prices are very reasonable. The staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble - while we were there, 4 of them lifted a gentleman in a wheelchair, up the stairs into the restaurant and lifted him safely back down again later. Have to say that the food was delicious, especially the dessert that we chose!:D(Not saying what that was otherwise there won't be any left for us when we go this weekend!!!)
The Uzumhan is on the right hand side as you come into the village. Go past the PTT, the statue and the school (all on your left)and as you make your way through the narrower part of the road, it is on the right hand side, above the library. Happy dining!

Hi, I am coming over next weekend for a few days, must give it a try sounds great ! Anyone else out there next weekend?
-
Sounds nice, will give it a go in June when we are over.
-
Will give it a try nice to know there is another place to eat in the village.
-
Thanks for that ! Wish we had realised when we were there last week -we didn't notice. Certainly will give it a try when we are out in May. Very disappointed with the Wine House last week - the meals were not good, I understand there is trouble with the chef ! Also more expensive this year. Such a shame, last year it was great....fingers crossed that it improves with the season.

Where do you get the Dolmus up to Uzumulu?
-
Hi Rimms, if you stand where the taxis are at the Fethiye tuesday market and look across the 2 roads (the saucepan shop is in the middle) you will see a petrol garage. The dolmus station is just behind the garage.

I know it, thanks.

Rimms - you can also get it in Gunlukbasi - on the corner where they turn to go up to Uzumlu (there's a lovely bakers shop there). I must say though that I prefer to catch it at the main terminal in Fethiye though as at least you know you are on the damn thing!! We waited almost an hour last year on that damn corner!

I went to the Uzumhan twice while I was there over the weekend, very nice people the young waiter speaks a little English. The menue is simple along with the decor, the quailty of food is good and the best bit it's as cheap as chips! Theres a large courtyard to eat alfresco or upstairs there are a couple of rooms with normal table and chairs and a couple of rooms with cushions arround the edge and a small table, looks comfy. It's just the sort of place the centre of the village needs and should be supported. To give you an idea, 1 Efes, 1 soup, 1 chicken shish and lemon/sugar pancake to finish 16TL.

Got to agree batman this place is really nice I have just returned after a 3 week stay and used the Uzumahn on quite a few occasions, nicely laid out upstairs and a lovely courtyard, nice after an afternoon stroll to just pop in for a pint or two.

Han means Inn, Hostel, Hostelry or rest house.
So take your pick:D
-
Ah ! A rest house for Grapes then :D I look forward to going next week. :)
-
Is the restaurant before the Wine House on the right hand side ?
We are coming out in a weeks time. Cant wait !!!
-
Its almost opposite the Üzümlü Belediye Firin(Bakery)which is on your left before you get up to the Mosque (cami). The entrance to the Üzümhan is on the left side of the library and round at the rear where there is a nice garden seating area or up the stairs to the indoor area.
Hope you find it cos its simple Turkish fare at reasonable rates and they do try to make you welcome.

Visited this cafe a couple of times last week. Really good value and a great welcome ! Four of us - chicken snitzel, meatballs, lamb chops, followed by great lemon pancakes, a couple of beers all for 52 lire. A nice atmosphere. Hope they do well. :)
-
Just returned after a weeks in Uzumlu used the Uzumu Han several times even had a pint boght for me off Jasper !!!
-
Sorry to be a fly in the ointment, but we went there a few weeks ago and found the service to be poor, the food rather bland and Eric was bringing his boots up all night with food poisoning (only had 2 drinks all night). Speak as we find.
Eric and Fi:-\
-
As you say Eric and Fi must speak as we find used almost every night for my 3 week break in April / May found service first class and food portions have got bigger and bigger only heard good reports, but I suppose I would as people who have bad experience tend not to revisit. :)
-
say as find........we ate there several times in one week, it was great. My mother was out last week and ate there several times and was never disappointed. Food and service always very good.
-
Eric & Fi, it seems a bit unfair to blame the food poisoning on the Uzumhan unless you are absolutely 100% certain. It may well have been something that was eaten or drunk previously?!
We can only comment on our experiences there and each time we have had good, friendly service with tasty food. We have to agree with Friar Tuck that the portions are very generous.

Dear The Crinklies,
Not being unfair, last thing I ate before the evening meal was breakfast at about 09.00 which was just toast. Only had 2 Efes with the meal. Sickness came on about 2 hours after the meal, nothing eaten in between, which is about the right timeframe for food poisoning. Not saying that everyone will get food poisoning, may just be a one off. Only adding my experience of our visit like everyone else does, good or bad. Reviews should accept good and bad, peoples experiences differ and that is the point of the reviews.
Can't please all of the people all of the time.
Eric

If i can find it ill give it a go.
Sounds nice,with the court yard an all.

Hi All, the Uzuham has changed hands a few months ago, I have to retract all my commments on my previous post. The new owners have doubled the price of the main dishes (now the same a Calis beach prom !) but the quality of food and service is utterly discraceful, we were overcharged, corrected after I pointed it out, another couple had tap water put in their bottled water. It won't last long like this.
Eric, not suprised you had food poisoning the way they were carring on.

Batman - that explains it. We had great food in April and May and my mother enjoyed it in June. however when we went back a couple of weeks ago, our food was not good - raw chips, small portions and very disappointing (yes, we too thought the price had gone up). Unfortunately I suffered with funny tummy afterwards too and thought it was the chicken I had there as I had eaten nothing else that day other than fresh bread for brunch. Oh dear, what a shame :( its started off so promising. But I hear they have changed chefs again at the winehouse and that has improved.....?.

I visited July/early August and spent a full day being sick etc after eating here. I had to spend the day in bed and it meant me missing a trip with the children. Feel sorry for the girl who does all the serving etc. She is such a sweetie but boy, does she work hard! The rest of my family have had no problems with the place but needless to say I don't eat much when I'm there!
I hope they have changed the chef etc at the Winehouse. We visited once and it was absolutely disgraceful. The staff had noooo interest whatsoever and the food...undescribable. Again, it's such a shame because it could be a great place.

The restuarant has not changed ownership Turgut still owns it what has changed is the Chef, it has improved now but still a little on the pricey side.
