Bella Mama is our favourite restaurant and we have never had a problem with small portions there - in fact we always struggle to finish our meals there lovely that they are.   I would much rather have a manageable plate of food that I know I can get through and enjoy rather than an enormous plate of food and know I am beaten before I start and I do hate leaving food.

I feel exactly the same, often beaten before I start but husband says "better to have too much than not enough" and one of my friends although quite a bit older than me can eat as much as any man.  In some places I ask for a child's portion and for me it is sufficient.

I always ask for a small portion of chicken curry when we go to the Meeting Point.  It means I can clear my plate and not feel guilty about  leaving half of it, and enjoy it.

We tried Mancero in April - absolutely loved it.  Very clever branding, a nice relaxing atmosphere, fantastic team and the food was gorgeously presented and delicious.  We are going back for our anniversary and can't wait !  no its not the cheapest, but if you want something different and of great quality....give it a try  :)

Eight of us went last week all ordered cocktails, two of the girls ordered pina colada, they brought 2 chocolate Martini's by mistake as he put them down Carole said we did not order these, as quick as a flash he said these are on the house while he shakes your Pina Colada and smiled. Excellent customer service.
 The steaks were exceptional the best rib eye I have had anywhere.
The chocolate Martini's were superb.

I went last week, no cocktails as I'm too tight to pay those prices.  Stuck to lime and soda, as was driving .I felt 12 tl for a glass of wine was too much too.
My Seafood spaghetti was no more memorable than anywhere else apart from being about 8 tl dearer than most places and the 13tl tiramisu wasn't as nice as the one I used to buy in Aldi.
The portions of risotto were tiny and my friends said it was just ok.
Sorry, but to me it's over priced, a bit pretentious and were paying a premium for a refit which doesn't really look any different to how it was before.
Staff were lovely though, service was good and we had a great time as a group but all agreed we've had better food cheaper elsewhere.

Went for lunch this week.  The  tuna salad was disappointing just a small amount of tuna and loads of lettuce.
However, tried Matisse Restaurant for lunch and had a chicken salad, have to say there was so much chicken it was hard to finish and it was lovely.  Very nice staff too.  Will be back.

My guess is that this is the place to go for a steak, and fish when they finish the refurb of the old Veranda.

I'm going to try whatever it was that George had   :)
