Mozaic Bahce

[pookie]

I can honestly say, that in all the times we have eaten at Mozaic (many, many, many), we have never been hassled by cats !   We saw one a couple of years ago, (Simon I think his name was ?!) but he kept a distance, as like most street cats he was very timid and ran away.   I think you must have been unlucky mac2010  (or very lucky as I actually think, as cats fascinate me and don't worry me in restaurants at all).

I would also have to say the same as Pookie - I am not friend or foe of cats really but I too really don't like them around the table when eating, I don't mind the dogs so much as they just sit, cats can jump up or even scratch before you know it - but I don't recall any cat problem at the Bahce specifically. People who feed the cats and street dogs from the table cause this, pure and simple.

We were there two and a half times - one lunch, one dinner and one for a quick beer with people we bumped into in Fethiye and if I don't get an OBE for services to the hot pepper bread industry then there's no justice in this World. Had the mixed grill when we went for dinner - simply perfect.

If memory serves, Dogan is not in the World's Top Ten Cat lovers.

If you will forgive the personal nature of the enquiry, did you manage to finish the mixed grill. If so, then I would suggest that is worthy of an OBE also

Not sure on the bread/wrap content but I ate all the meat components

Mac2010 - I am very sorry that you and your wife had to leave the restaurant early.

Ever since we opened the restaurant 3 years ago we have worked hard with the support and assistance of Animal Aid to reduce the number of street cats in the vicinity and we have been largely successful and just a few remain.

They do usually keep their distance as they are feral and afraid of humans. We try to discourage people from feeding them and if they weren't fed then they would eventually not return.

We do have a water spray for anyone that is afraid of cats to use. Totally harmless to the cats but enough to keep them far away from your table. A nuisance for a while but they soon get the message.

If you would like to come again just let us know and we can equip you with the spray.

Just as an aside cats in the area do serve a useful purpose as they keep rodents at bay

Nik :  point them in the direction of the clothes/money exchange shop - theres a very big rodent in there....that would solve two problems in one

Well I am sitting here as I write, and there have been no cats at all in the restaurant! You must have been awfully unlucky Mac2010! Just as wel you didn't eat in fish market on Monday evening. There was a cat sitting on a branch over our heads all during our meal. You'd have been freaked out by that. Anyway, full up, happy, and off back to hotel now

I've never seen cats in the restaurant but have seen them out on the street although they never attempt to come in.  I do symapthise with someone who has a phobia as I have cats and my neighbour is like your wife.  We gave her a plant spray container filled with water to fire at the cats if they came near and it really helped her, so much so that she now "quite" likes our cats...so long as they don't come right up to her
