Don Quijote

Unceremoniously protruding from the main shopping street where it meets the main square across from the marina, this informal cafe, bar, and restaurant is the place of choice among incoming yacht and gulet cruisers. For such a touristy location, the food is surprisingly good and varied; the balik köftesi (fish balls) are a welcomed change from the meat version, while the pappardelle all turca takes an Italian favorite and transforms it into a local delicacy by saucing it in minced meat and garlic yogurt. The menu also caters to westernized tastes, with an ample selection of omelets, salads, burgers, and pizzas. Top off the meal or just enjoy some people-watching while sipping a cappuccino or the more serious espresso corretto (with a shot of liquor).
