We love lokanta food - in 10 years we have never eaten on Calis beach front nor Fethiye harbour (cheapskates you might say - and you would probably be right ;) ) Our favourite meal consists of 2 corbas, a plate of white beans and a portion of rice (with free salad and bread :) ) + water.
GAR2 at Fethiye otogar 22TL
Seckin Gunlukbasi 20.50TL (surprisingly cheaper than GAR2 !!!)
Sini Calis (not sea front ;) ) 32TL !!!!!!
Absolutely no difference in food quality, all excellent, but Sini trying VERY hard to please - bless them.

Kevin - a man I could get along with :-) An illuminating post - although we are now in Calis as opposed to living near the Otogar - we used to eat regularly at the Otogar and around the Saniye - and we try to steer clear of the promenade as well :-)

Do try the Cinar Locanta diagonally opposite the kiosk at the bus station for Uzumlu in Fethiye. Only three /four dishes to choose from ,. Plus rice , salads cay and all the bread you can eat. but they do vary them. Excellent value.
We frequented it quite a lot until we mastered the Dolmus timetable. Now we can plan to have our breakfast or lunch there.

Horses for courses. ;D

We regularly eat at seckin in Fethiye and also get take aways from there when we can't be bothered to go out can't fault the food or service but we do go to some of the restaurants in Fethiye and Calis
-
When comparing costs please remember that the rent prices on a place in Calis are very expensive compared to the otogar area and also the other ones in Fethiye will be busy all year round not like Calis.
-
And when you add on the dolmus fares to get to the otogar or Gunlukbasi, prices are then not much different. ;)
-
The lokantas around the Devlet are very reasonable and very tasty too.
I hear the calis one is now doing puffy bread now is that right as wasn't when we went a couple of weeks ago, or is it an evening thing?
-
Where is the one in Calis please folks...
-
Next to oceana. Used to be shamrock
-
Ok thank you.is this the Gunisilk ?
-
We have been to the Sini lokanta in Calis (where the Shamrock used to be). it is excellent - we have had two meals at night there - you do get puffy bread and the chilli/yoghurt starter which is yummy, then we opted for the aubergine mousaka, a chicken dish, green beans and cous cous - very very reasonable and delicious. We have also been there three times for lunches their spicy lentil soup is really tasty. Thoroughly recommend it.
-
Puffy bread? That is the only thing I have found in Turkey that is less interesting than brain soup.
-
No, it's not gunisik, it's the same side of the road, a few doors away going towards the roundabout.
-
I love the puffy bread - it would be a sad and boring world if we all liked the same thing. Each to their own.
-
Been in serkul 1 on the front in calis a few times this holiday and when i went in last night all his prices have gone up.think i will start eating in the lokantas out of calis.
-
It would appear this lokanti is something to do with Mr Mehmet formerly the Orient, a gentleman whom we first met 25 years ago and who we were delighted to see 2 nights ago in the lokanti with his lovely wife. We were next door at the oceana! I was sad to hear his wife has some health issues which precipitated the move from the orient to afford more time with family etc. however it looks like the new place is doing well and building a good reputation.

How do you feel about brain soup?
-
The stuff of headaches !
-
Colwyn you are right, I don't know what it is, but puffy bread seems to thrill people, pop it and the steam burns my hands and it tastes just like thin pitta bread but hot and puffy. Looks nice enough though but wouldn't entice me in. :-\
-
Sini lokanta is being run by Mehmet's two brothers. Colwyn - not even sure if brain soup exists but if it does - no can't say I would fancy it in the slightest, but I will stick with the puffy bread !
-
not even sure if brain soup exists
You obviously haven't ventured into a soup kitchen in the early hours after a skinfull :D Although I must agree - lentil soup for me.
