Okay, point made. The photo you are looking at is of Boğaziçi Restaurant along the new harbour in Fethiye. I took it at twilight, hence the odd lighting. Boğaziçi and the other restaurants along this stretch are part of our daily life because we pass them every time we walk into town. We find ourselves sitting at Boğaziçi more than the other places, just because. No other reason...just because. We're creatures of habit, there's always a relaxed atmosphere here, beers are cheap, food is cheap, it's on the seafront, you can see Fethiye harbour...err, yeah. Why would you not want to go there?
I mentioned a while back (if I can find the post, I'll link to it) that this place has recently lost around two thirds of its roof space and is under new ownership. There was nothing wrong with the food under the old owners but there are now new owners. We ate there last week and the food is now even better and considering you're on the seafront, it's very reasonable. It's mainly a traditional Turkish food menu so I went for the Adana Kebab (12 lira) and Barry had chicken şiş. Servings were more than enough and really well presented, making you feel like you're in a restaurant and not a lokanta. And - a rarity in Fethiye - we ordered octopus for our starter. Lovely. Why it's so difficult to get octopus in Fethiye restaurants, I don't know. Maybe there's been no demand for it in the past but this octopus was really well cooked - not overdone - and served in garlic olive oil. Divine!
I know I've basically written a restaurant review there, but credit where it's due and it is where we spend a bit of our time. Usually we'll just have a drink there on the way home from / to Fethiye centre but we decided to eat there last week and definitely no regrets.
