Treats for the tastebuds

AUBERGINE

A Kalkan stalwart, known for its fantastic food, friendly service and harbour location. The fillet steak medallions are amazing, as is the whole baked fish.

SMALL HOUSE

Enjoy a mezze platter of Turkish starters while reading all the lovely customer comments written on the walls of this intimate, family-run restaurant.

HUNKAR OCAKBASI

Dealing in traditional Turkish food at very reasonable prices, Hunkar’s popularity with the locals proves it’s a winner. The pides (Turkish pizza) are brilliant.

KAYA

Kaya is always buzzing and has a great atmosphere. It’s owned by brothers Kadir, Erol and Alper who chat and perform the occasional magic trick at your table.

SALONIKA 1881

Offering indoor and outdoor dining on Süleyman Yılmaz, a pretty street in the old town fast becoming Kalkan’s hippest hangout.

CORIANDER

There’s no menu, instead, you wander into the kitchen and choose from a range of delicious dishes made that day. Perfect for a cheap lunch.

SADE RESTAURANT

Sade is another old town favourite that gets rave reviews for its food, particularly the steak and various seafood dishes.

KALAMAKI

One of Kalkan’s most popular rooftop restaurants, Kalamaki has a great choice of delicious dishes, including ‘fusion’ and Ottoman inspired food.

ISOS’S KITCHEN

This quaint bougainvillea-covered restaurant is really popular, especially for its rooftop terrace and authentic Turkish dishes.

ROSE RESTAURANT

Located up the hill from old town, Rose offers fabulous, homecooked and inexpensive food.
