Tarhun Modern Anatolian Cuisine — Restaurant in Fethiye

I really wanted to like this restaurant – in fact, I was genuinely looking forward to the meal. The location is fantastic, right on the waterfront with stunning views, and the interior is beautiful, spread across three levels with a bar on the top floor. Unfortunately, the food and service did not live up to the setting. The menu, described as modern Anatolian, sounded great on paper and had several dishes that stood out. The waitress recommended the Tesir cocktail, which contains something called electric daisy. It left my mouth numb, similar to the effect of Szechuan pepper. Personally, I didn’t enjoy the sensation, though others may appreciate it. We were served amuse bouche to start, but they were placed down with no explanation. My son had to ask what they were, as he doesn’t eat fish. They turned out to be small pieces of bread with butter, olives, and cheese – fine, but nothing remarkable. For starters, we tried the bonito, the raki fish, and the warm hummus. The bonito was extremely salty and hard to enjoy, the raki fish tasted overly vinegary with little depth of flavour, while the hummus was nice. Our mains were the entrecôte steak, molasses chicken, and Konya. The Konya was good, the molasses chicken (a confit leg with a little molasses sauce) was just okay, and the steak was enjoyable, especially with the wheat purée. Service throughout the evening felt inconsistent – at times rushed, at other times slow. Mains arrived while we were still eating starters, and at the end we waited half an hour for someone to offer dessert before giving up, asking for the bill, and leaving. Overall, we left disappointed. The restaurant lacked the warm hospitality we’ve experienced elsewhere in Turkey, and too many dishes felt like style...

Geçtiğimiz günlerde Göcek'te bulunan Tarhun Restoran'ı ziyaret ettim ve deneyimim gerçekten unutulmazdı! Restoran, Anadolu mutfağının zarif bir yansıması olarak dikkatimi çekti. Geleneksel lezzetler modern bir dokunuşla sunulmuş, bu da her lokmada kendinizi özel hissetmenizi sağlıyor.Atmosfer son derece huzur verici; doğal malzemelerle dekore edilmiş iç mekan, dışarıdaki yeşilliklerle mükemmel bir uyum sağlıyor. Göz alıcı manzarası eşliğinde yemek yemek, ruhu dinlendiriyor. Yemeklerine gelince, taze ve yerel malzemeler kullanılarak hazırlanmış olan her tabak, damak tadına hitap ediyor. Mezeleri, özellikle zeytinyağlılar ve sağlıklı salatalarıyla harika bir başlangıç yaptık. Ana yemek olarak denediğim kuzu tandır, yumuşaklığı ve lezzetiyle beni kendine hayran bıraktı.Servis ise son derece profesyonel ve samimiydi. Çalışanlar, misafirlerle olan ilişkilerinde nazik ve yardımsever bir tavır sergiliyor, bu da deneyimi daha da keyifli hale getiriyor.Tarhun, sadece lezzetli yemekleriyle değil, aynı zamanda sıcak atmosferi ve mükemmel hizmetiyle de gönlümü kazandı.

They have a great menu with both traditional Turkish dishes and some modern twists.

We tried Pazi yapraginda kısır, kiymali piruhi, kokorec, Oltu cag kebabi and Urfa kazan kebabi

Everything was really good, but my favorite was definitely the kısır which came wrapped like stuffed leaves, and it was so tasty. The service and vibe were both nice. Totally...
