Please see below after the 2024 review for our updated and still excellent review on our return in July 2025. Review September 2024. So happy find, close to the beach and our hotel with the happiest staff ever, a comprehensive menu which lived up to the good within it. Our Meze cold starter was best I’ve ever had and my chicken and orange main and my husband Chinese beef strips were delicious. Amazing table on the decking over the sea too! Updated review, July 2025! Just had to update our review from last year as on a short break this month and twice returned to our favourite restaurant in Lapta which will always be The Blue Song, right next door to our also best hotel, The Manolya. With two seating levels inside and outside at Blue Song and offering stunning views over the sea, there is plenty of fabulous tables to enjoy but we do love its delightful lower decked area.

Both surpassed expectations, amazing! Service as always was excellent and we left relaxed, fulfilled and looking forward to our next break in Lapta! Booking recommended as...

It's no longer the cheapest of places but at the higher end of what we'd class as a reasonable rate so still is still on our list of eateries. There is a carpark that is often full at the busier times so that can be fun to navigate, if you're not blocked in, but guess that shows the popularity! Option to eat either inside or out, and even when outside there is a canopy to stay dry in the wetter periods but all enjoy a sea view to the rear or...
Read moreBeautiful Spot, Disappointing Meal
Blue Song has a stunning seaside view and a wonderful atmosphere, which is why it's been a long-time favorite of ours. We've recommended it to so many people over the years. Unfortunately, our most recent visit was a real letdown. While the ambiance and service were as lovely as always, the food quality has gone downhill. The meat in my mixed kebab was tough, chewy, and genuinely disappointing compared to what we've had here before. We really hope this was just an off-night for the kitchen because we love the location. For now, though, we're hesitant to return or...
