1. Restaurant of the year for me = Recep's in the fish market. Predictable I know but it is fabulous and the fish market has an atmosphere that can't be copied anywhere in the World. If there was a "Highly commended" award then definitely Mozaik Bahce - as a family we all absolutely love it.
2. I don't have a favourite bar, I'm a restaurant person through and through and more so as I get older. The bar I admire the most is Scarlett Bar - we love the owners, the staff, and I love their dedication to putting something on, too many bars think Efes and a cd will do.
