Title: Best Calis Beach Bar or Restaurant in 2014 - your vote.
Post by: Highlander on November 29, 2014, 20:57:29 PM
Scunner has allowed me to start this off this year. I hope he won't regret that decision  ;) and that I've done it correctly

Feel free to vote for (up to) THREE bars or restaurants - your favourites for the now closed 2014 season. Please advise of any errors and if your choice isn't listed, reply with the missing establishment's name.

As with 2013, Koca Calis will hopefully have it's own poll (if someone send a list of restaurants) so those places are not listed in this vote.

Voting from now through winter, closing January 1st. This will allow time for certificates to be made and delivered in time for the new season starting.

I doubt there will be any omission or error in that list that will ever come close to you listing Gunisik as Frank Carson's

That's a cracker.

Could you possibly add Hamsi Bar, near to Mutlu Hotel? Lovely people and great place for sundowners.

My 3 choices for consistent good quality and excellent service would be:

Mangal
Bambu
Calis Beach Indian

There may be more exciting menus elsewhere but these three places never let us down last visit for very good standards and the warmest of welcomes.

Post by: philrose on November 30, 2014, 09:49:23 AM
Mancheros would qualify as Fethiye rather than Calis..

Zayra 1 was still there towards the end of Oct, so would still qualify for last season's awards

There is also the Cangir (think that's how it's spelt) fish restaurant next to Migros. An excellent newcomer to add to the list...

Post by: Highlander on December 01, 2014, 13:45:52 PM
philrose - I see that scunner has added your suggestion here but is the place you mentioned different from canciger which is on the Fethiye list.

Please have your say on your favourites from last year and thanks to all who have.

I always think this pole would be better if we just voted for 1 restaurant.  The result would probably be quite different.

Post by: CleopatrasAsp on January 29, 2015, 06:29:38 AM
I do hope that Vojo's come out on top of the poll this year.  Volkan and Jo, and the rest of their team have worked so hard to make their business a success, have supported both Embrace and Animal Aid in their fund-raising efforts, and throughout the winter months have done their best to give us exiles a place where we can meet up, enjoy a meal or a drink or two (or three or four etc) in companionable surroundings. I am gutted that they cannot continue in their present location, but I'm looking forward to the new Vojo's rising like a Phoenix from the ashes.
Title: Re: Best Calis Beach Bar or Restaurant in 2014 - your vote.
Post by: Scunner on February 01, 2015, 21:00:19 PM
Unless I am mistaken I make that

Winner 2014: Vojo's

2nd (Highly Commended): Meeting Point

3rd (Highly Commended): Casa Di Mama

Congrats to all, certificates to follow  :)
