Title: Yengec
Post by: Highlander on December 11, 2011, 19:59:48 PM: Our very good friend Murat from Scarlett has a new restautant venture in Fethiye which we wish him every success with. May be worth a visit and I look forward to reading reviews.

Looks a bit posh - hope he lets us in when we visit.

Murat advises that the restaurant is located by Yes Marina in Karagozler

Post by: mercury on December 11, 2011, 22:48:46 PM: It is a fabulous restaurant now. Lets hope he knows what he is doing and not yet another good place bites the dust. I wish him well with his new venture.

Post by: Supacabby on December 11, 2011, 22:50:14 PM: Fancy some "posh nosh" seafood 1 night then Lance? Well Irina will do the posh & we can do the nosh lol. I thought it was in Calis at 1st (it's in the Calis Beach restaurant section!) then realised once I read Higlanders blurb it's in Fethiye, early meal or taxi back then!

Post by: Jacqui Harvey on December 12, 2011, 13:08:40 PM: Thanks H, but if it only serves fish that lets us out. Who ever heard of a man that loved fish all his life and ordered it at every opportunity, developing a fish allergy in his fifties!!!!????
Title: Yengec
Post by: BM06 on December 12, 2011, 16:58:29 PM: Yes there was a lot of dodgy fish about in the fifties Jacqui!
Title: Yengec
Post by: daveG on December 13, 2011, 17:43:15 PM: Its certainly changed since our last visit,I seem to recall lots of dodgy steps and that was before we had very expensive brandies in a
tacky hut of a building.So good look to Murat in his venture.

Post by: monique on December 19, 2011, 13:02:12 PM: Went to Yengec Saturday night, it was a little bit quiet because of the bad weather but the food was lovely,a really good choice of fish or meat. The prices are good, no more expensive than the Calis promenade prices and the service excellent.

The views are breathtaking, cant wait to be there in summer! Good Luck Murat xx

Title: Yengec
Post by: Scunner on December 27, 2011, 00:32:28 AM: The menu does seem as attractive as the setting, we'll definitely be giving it a go. If there was one small criticism (generally, not specifically about Yengec), why does every restaurant, irrespective of standard or quality, think a kid's menu of chicken nuggets/fish fingers/spaghetti is effort enough? My kids get one night to choose which restaurant they liked most and would like to go back to - I strongly believe that restaurateurs totally miss a trick when it comes to the importance and influence of kids when it comes to where families eat out on holiday.

Post by: Robw on December 27, 2011, 08:52:44 AM: Totally agree Keith also Yengec means Crab and not a Crab on the Menu! :o
