Jade Terrace Food & Drink — Restaurant in Fethiye

Avoid This Place Like the Plague – Cold Food, Wasps Everywhere, and a Manager Who Guilt-Trips You

Let me save you some time and money: Jade Terrace Food & Drink in Ölüdeniz is hands-down one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had.

I sat down and within seconds I was getting swarmed by wasps — literally all over me, buzzing around my drink, my plate, my face. Staff saw it. Did they care? Not even a shrug. No attempt to do anything. It was like they were used to it and expected me to just suck it up.

Then my seafood dish came out cold. Not “cooled down from the kitchen” — straight-up cold, like it had been sitting out. That’s a joke for seafood, not to mention dangerous. I didn’t touch a bite, and honestly, I wouldn’t have — the wasps beat me to it. They were already crawling on the plate like they were regular customers.

As if that wasn’t enough, I had stray cats circling my table the entire time, meowing, jumping up, trying to get at the food. I’ve got nothing against animals, but when I’m trying to eat, I don’t want to feel like I’m in a back alley behind a fish market. Where’s the hygiene? Where’s the management?

Speaking of which — I asked for the bill, fully ready to pay for the bottle of rosé I ordered (had one glass, no complaints there), and the “manager” comes over trying to guilt me, saying he’ll have to pay for the food out of his own pocket. Are you serious? You serve me cold seafood covered in insects and expect me to feel bad?

This place is a complete joke. Filthy, disorganized, and flat-out lazy. I wouldn’t recommend it to my worst enemy.

If I wanted to be attacked by wasps, watched by cats, and served something cold and dead — I’d just eat lunch in a skip behind a fishmonger’s. Cheaper and...

The best thing about this place is the views. Such a beautiful setting, and the service was ok. Unfortunately the food was not good. The lamb meatballs/kofte were advertised on the menu as “meatballs covered with filo pastry” - when it arrived it was just some smash burgers with no pastry in sight… not the meal I had hoped for, and very dry. The seabass was also dry and tasteless.

I probably wouldn’t revisit for food. Perhaps better for a drink and to enjoy the live...

Stunning location for a meal! Overlooking Öludeniz beach which is beautiful at sunset.

I would recommend booking if you want to eat here. I was lucky to get a table, but was on my own so managed it.

Cocktails are stunning, and the food is great…probably the BEST mashed potato I’ve ever head. The steak was good but a tad undercooked (and I might be being picky, but am also trying to be honest!).

Staff are great, atmosphere is lovely…definitely worth...
