Turkish cuisine
is one of the true glories of the country. Yet Turkey has no real
‘signature’ theme such as the Italian ‘pasta’ or the Spanish ‘Paella’.
Instead, you’ll find a rich and diverse array of dishes, all combined
in feast-like meals. Perhaps the most famous of Turkey’s cuisine is
meze, the famous selection of h’ors doevres offering a huge choice of
delicious dishes from spicy meatballs, feta cheese, olives and
air-dried anchovies to phyllo pies, baked figs with oregano, small egg
dishes and garlicky yogurt with dried apricots. All washed down with
some great Turkish wine. Another favourite export is the kebab, a
succulent combination of grilled lamb and vegetables usually served
with Turkish bread pilafs and ayran (a buttermilk drink). As Hisaronu
has been a favourite of the English visitor for many years, the local
restaurants have adapted and in addition to traditional Turkish fare,
you will find a good range of English, Chinese, Italian and even
Indian food. English breakfasts are available in almost all the bars
and restaurants.

The
first time we went to Hisaronu was out of season, so only a few paces
were open, fortunately that included Pizza Pepino and the Piano bar,
For staying open all year round they deserve an accolade . For a real
treat (If you like steak), the Santana takes some beating, and the
Festival is a great choice. You can always find good food
anytime of the year in Fethiye,
and if you like seafood, the marketplace has some fantastic choices. |

Pizza Pepino |
If
fish is your favourite food then a trip in to Fethiye is highly
recommended. Fethiye is a port with fresh fish landed daily.
There is a fish market in the centre of town where you can pick your
fresh fish from one of the stall holders and have it
cooked by one of a number of the restaurants located there. Short
of catching and cooking it
yourself.
For a taste of real
local food in a rustic setting then head to Kaya and try the food
there.
Honourable mentions
to El Nino's and the London Bar for breakfast. |
