This reminds me of the Savoy in London - one of the most exclusive hotels in the World but they must pay their head chef really badly as I've lost count of how many restaurants I've eaten in where the chef used to be head chef at the Savoy.

Wasn't the chef at La Terrace from Istanbul. Well that's what Tansu said.

Mind you, he was a fantastic chef

He was - at one time the only man in Calis who could do a decent steak

Absolutely - his steak diane has fabulous. Whatever happened to him -did he go back to Istanbul

Don't know why La Terrace is no more - it was a lovely place to eat and watch the sunset. They also employed lovely people as waiters.

One of our favourites when it was there.

I know I'm taking this off topic but does anyone remember the first chef Phil & Louise had when they managed the Lighthouse - concoctions like Jack Daniels Steak and the steak special the name of which I forget but it was two little steaks, one in a mushroom sauce and the other in red wine sauce (I think) each served on top of toasted bread. It was a revelation as menus in Calis go, with everyone else still copying each other's menus. Classic stuff.

I can certainly remember that menu at the lighthouse and agree it was a revelation. We loved it! they also did those deep fried ice cream things which were amazing! Loved the place then- the bar and the music was really chilled too went most nights if not for dinner then for drinks. They also did ace espresso! You just get used to a place and .........

such a shame what happenened to the Lighthouse, Phil and Louise were excellent hosts and had the place buzzing but like so many others the landlord gets greedy and finished it off.
Phil and Lou are still excellent hosts but at the Sugar Beach Club in Oludeniz, excellent place for a day out.

now back on topic...The Orient, havent eaten there yet but had a few beers during the recent fashion show which was a great success.
