What a good website! Looks like a novel place and an interesting menu!
-
thanks Phil.
Looks like it's worth a visit :)
-
There with Lance on Saturday - excelent food and great atmosphere:D
-
I know their place in Oludeniz. Excellent food, will definately try their new place in Fethiye. Wish them good luck. Fethiye needs this kind of qualified restaurants.

Bufalows? If they do well they could change the name to Bufahighs
I agree with Cenk, it is great to see good quality restaurants opening in the area. Especially any that offer a different menu to the "international menu" that so many copy from each other. Have they avoided the rice/chips/salad trap too?

I admire your courage .. I remember a Vet telling me that you will never find one of his profession eating undercooked meat as they know too much. Unfortunately, I asked him, now I know too much as well:(
-
My brother is a doctor of some standing (and some sitting down), and he told me the same. Luckily, I didn't ask or hear what the too much they knew might be. Go for it Nichola, it's the only way when it comes to steak :)
-
We went yesterday only to find they are closed on Monday's :-( Will try it another day
-
sorry girls but you can't put me off...
tomorrow I'm looking for blood
mmmmmmmmmhhhhh
the rarer the better
I've seen people eat cockroaches, rice crawling with live ants (Linda will see this in Thailand when she goes) and rats and more so I'm gonna enjoy

-
Make sure you get back before it gets light:P
-
Had a mate who liked his steak raw, when they asked him how he liked it he said 'Just wipe its bum and put it on a plate!!
When I saw it arrive I thought a good vet could have this walking again. :D
-
Nicola make sure you emphasise the rare part ,a couple came out med and had to be sent back might be better to ask for blue you can always have it done a bit more bon appetite.:D ;)

This place looks really nice,looking at map cant really figure where is it, can you give me an idea where it is in relation to landmarks that I might recognise thanks Diana
-
If you were heading up to Fethiye from Calis on the road that has the sea directly to the right of it (the new prom with the new restaurants), where the sea right angles you should look left and see it.
-
In the area of the flamingo restaurant then
-
But left of the main road I think. I've never actually seen it :D
-
No problem at least I know general direction of the place, just another place Id like to try in April when out with no kids mind you dont think we are going to have enough days & nights for everywhere we want to go.
The idea of no one complaining we have made them walk too far or that they want to go back to the pool or they are fed up that they have to wait too long for there dinner in the restaurants, cant wait peace & quiet. (love my children really)
-
Imagine standing with your back to the cultural centre in Fethiye and look towards Çalis.
Walk towards Çalis harbour on left past the bars and restaurants on the right - where the Irish Bar and Kizmet Bar are.
When you get to the end of them you'll come to a road. Look to your right across the road and you will see it there.
-
good luck with the rare steak Nichola, not sure I will be having the cockroaches though!
-
i am coming out on march could anyone tell me if bufalows is open all week
-
closed on Mondays at the moment....
-
when in Rome Linda ! - served like a delicacy I'll dig out a couple of photos to wet your appetite - but not tonight I'm exhausted I've been on here hours...
-
i havent even braved kokorec after 15 years visiting Turkey. They will need to be some photos to convince me!
-
Whereabouts is their restaurant in Olu Deniz?
-
Jenny, down the mountain take the first left (not the switch back road) its on the left about 200 yards, very good place for a fun night, i think he does the Elvis show on a Wednesday, but the ribs are well worth the trip.
-
Thanks for that BM06, heading to Ovacik in June, so may try both! :)
-
the Elvis shows are on a tuesday and friday evenings starting around 9.30 pm.....excellent nights entertainment.
-
Make sure you get there early for the Elvis nights as so popular, otherwise you won,t get a seat to eat or a stool for the bar
-
Thank you for the information about the Elvis nights. That helps me to ensure that any future visit I might make will be on a Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday or Sunday :D
Do they have a Michael Jackson mimer night too?
-
Yes that's on Monday, Wednesday,Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, if you can get a seat:D
-
We went on Friday for the 1st time and will definately go again.
Surroundings, ambience and service all top notch.
Cosy and live music not too invasive.
There was a female vocalist and a guitarist playing covers of english and turkish ballads, very enjoyable.
Food is excellent, well presented and plenty of it.
There is a seperate room where you can paly billiards and you can eat the bar if you choose.
We both had steaks and they were cooked properly, served piping hot.
I noticed there are plenty of choices on the menu with many dishes under 10 TL.
Well worth a visit.
And as for Elvis - good fun.
-
oops - should have said eat "at " the bar, not eat the bar......sorry :-\
-
we went on valentines night and had a great evening the food was first class staff was friendly very clean well run the live band was excellent the saxophone player was fantastic then elvis appeared the crowd was all singing and cheering and we loved the harley davidson on show by the stage we had a four course meal for two with a bottle of red and the bill was 100 tl great value
-
Anyone tried Bufflalo's buffet breakfast in Fethiye.....seems a bit pricey at twenty odd TL but all depends on what you get for your money! :)
-
Is there live music every night? Interested in the saxophone player and female vocalist.
-
Went there yesterday afternoon. Really excellent food and service, and a lovely atmosphere. We had schnitzel and pork chops, yum yum.
They have a seperated pool & dart room with a small library. An interesting thing... They give free limousine pick up (only pick up, no return) service, if you are more than 4, up to 7 pax.
There is live music, from wednesday to saturday.

And carlsberg (tuborg by another name)for 6 lira a glass!!Anna bar calis 2.50 lira till 8pm
-
Once again it doesn't matter that someone decided to try to raise the level, or offer something not previously available in the area. Once again the only comparison worth commenting on is how much they sell beer for. Incredible.
Maybe future new ventures will take heed and everyone can sit on the floor drinking Tuborg out of old buckets.
-
Well said! If the price of beer is your only concern when looking for a night out then im sure that there are plenty of venues in the area that will accomadate you. I for one am pleased to see an attempt to raise the standards and provide a unique dinning/entertainment experience.
-
Quality costs money.
-
Yes thats ok raising the standard for people who can afford it. There are some people living here on a budget and i think its good that somebody compared the price of beer for people like us. Yes if it means sitting on chairs not as comfortable for 2 and a half lira then fine. Let everyone know how much beer is cause not everyone can go out at weekends and sit and drink beer at 6 lira a pint.
-
Efes in Buffalo is 5 tl same as most bars in the Pasputer.
Carlsberg and Tuborg are totally different I used to sell both in my pub, If the stuff they sell as Tuborg for 2.5 tl is all I could get I would go T total tomorrow
We thought the Buffallo was excellent for a special occasion, it is somewhere different to the norm.

-
I've never known a place where people on a budget are as well catered for. I do take your point but the only comparison some people work by is the price of the beer and that is peculiar and rather sad. In truth it is quite obvious that the Buffalo Steak House, with it's exciting new menu and rave reviews was hardly likely to be competing with Anna Bar on the price of a pint.
I had a swift beer at a restaurant under the clock tower in historic Bruges, it was wonderful but way more expensive than a similar beer in my local Wetherspoons. You see? Not worthy of mention really.
-
Just as Scunner says. Its up to people what they want.
I am so pleased that we have The Buffalo as its raising the bar a bit in Fethiye.
I went for dinner on Sunday - superb as usual, and as a frequent diner was given the new Buffalo loyalty card which entitles you to a percentage off every time you dine. Great idea !
They validated it straight away and took 10 per cent off my bill.
I am looking forward to the summer when it will be possible to sit outside too.
I will be taking all my summer visitors along as i know once they try the food they will be back.
Well done Paul for having the foresight and money to invest in such a lovely idea.
-
Carlsberg Tuborg the same no way ,yes the tuborg 2.5 but it is crap the same as there food in Annas bar,surely you go to new restaurants for the food not how much the beer is . ;)
-
Tuborg eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeuch

Someone is trying to make a qualifed thing in Fethiye. Please do not try to damage it with beer price wars. They have menu on the tables and outside of restaurant. If you think that, their prices are not worth, you can go wherever you will be happier.
I am tired of carbon copy menus, and appreciate some one who try to make different and good things. Will definately go there again and again.
-
well said
-
we will be searching out the Buffalo restaurant while in Calis this year...
great menu... also looks a lovely set up in the restaurant...
foget the beer prices it,s the food we go for, if you just want a cheap drink find a cheap bar!!!

-
It appears that there is no such thing as bad publicity.
We will definitely pay a visit this year. :)
-
It would be very amusing if the beer price decision went something like this...
"How much did you say we need to charge for a beer to get the daily British drinkers in?"
"No more than 3 lira"
"Ok we'll make it 6"
:D
-
Exactly. A lot of truth in what you say Kieth
-
Price of beer never figures in where we are going to eat. It is the choice on the menu and if it seems reasonable for what we are getting - Food quality, surroundings, service, ambiance etc etc. If you are going to choose by the price of the beer, well you get what you pay for!
-
we are looking forward to visiting the Buffalo at Easter. Yes we adore Turkish food, but we also like variety and this looks like it offers something different. Our teenage visitors are already excited about trying it out because it offers something they appreciate too.
The list of restaurants we have to try on our next visit is growing and growing....oh well, stuff the diet !!!
-
Nobody is running down the Buffalo. If thats where you get a good meal then thats fine, and if you want a drink then thats fine too. It was only said that tuborg was 6 lira a glass!!!
-
Yes Doug you are correct, that was indeed the only point made :D
-
i could not read the menus too small but looks good ladies night
-
PS does elvis strip on ladies night:D
-
went to buffalo,for the first time last night,brilliant time,good food,good entertainment,turkish singer(singing in english),and then Elvis.......even Nigel and Ian from the Kismet did a turn,well wort the visit :)
-
After seeing the reviews here for the Fethiye Buffalo went on Wednesday night and thought the food was slightly expensive 39 Lira for a TBone steak average price around the Fethiye area is around 23-27 Lira Efes 6 Lira average in area 3.50 Lira asked for the steaks to be cooked well done and we got it blood raw in the middle (I have learn't never to complain and return food in a resturant, seen first hand what chefs do to the food before it's returned to you) so just tried eating it the steak was very tough and hard to chew also was supposed to have garlic butter but none came with it, also another of the party had the BBQ ribs which turned up without any BBQ sauce?Can't fault the resturant on decor, live music was great and the bread/ salad/ accompanements and serving staff were superb, shame as it has spoilt the place for us, maybe new chef, maybe a one off issue? Was also asked if we had a Buffalo discount card after maybe this would have made a difference on the prices:(?
-
Ate here twice when we were over for 12 days a week ago, first night was Elvis night 5 of us, had a great night and went back with my husband a few on the Wednesday enjoyed my meal both times.
I thought blood was running out of my steak but it was the beetroot!!!
My husband said my face was a picture until I realised what it was.
We will go back again in June and have even asked to book the limo as it is my sister in laws birthday.
-
Hey never be afraid to complain! if you are not happy then how can the restaurant have a chance to put it right? We have had several excellent meals at the Buffalo but on one occasion my husbands steak was tough.He told the waiter who brought Paul the owner over who apologised profusely.The steak was replaced and was delicious and the chef came out personally to check we were ok.Result!
-
Just back from 2 weeks in the uk and someone said Buffalo has closed !
Closed and up for sale ?????
Whats happened there ?
-
He is having problems. Nothing to do with poor trade. People always jump to the wrong conclusions. Give him a break.
-
Myself and Nigel are very sad that Paul has had to close....Friday nights won't be the same....Some bars are scared stiff of competition....if you can work together all can benefit.
Miss you Paul and your lovely wife
Ian
