Carpe Diem Kahvaltı ve Balık Restaurant — Restaurant in Çeşme

No menu. Should have known better but it was NYE and nothing else was available. Got swept in by manager and asked to choose from different entrees/side dishes.

I highly recommend it if you are a...

I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone!

Two small fish and a simple cucumber tomato & lettuce salad cost us 700. The price is not worth what you get. Not only is this not a higher end atmosphere, if you walk 50 feet down, you can find better views without the ridiculous price tags. We left feeling taken advantage of and do not...
