Elia Restaurant Kaş — Restaurant in Kaş

Our worst and most expensive diner in Turkey. Very disappointed, we didn’t understand how they got so nice comments.

The restaurant itself is nice even if the tables were dirty. (Had to dry the table because it was wet and my napkin ended up brown).

The music was next to our table, very loud. We were only 2 couples eating there that night. We asked the waiter to lower a bit the music, which he did. But then he came back to put it high again several times, and then lowering it when he saw that we noticed him doing that…

He was nice but we had to ask him several time to order, he seemed a bit disoriented. Tried to serve me wine after I told him previously that I was pregnant for example (6months so it’s visible and I told him).

Then when ordering the food I ordered lamb and asked for it to be very well cooked (no pink inside) because of the pregnancy. Guess how I received the meat ? Pink and bloody… My husband ordered steak that was cooked in butter. Well, it was more butter than meat in the plate and it was the worst meat we ever had. The sides had no taste, not even a little bit of salt…

Most restaurants in Kaş are less expensive...

Location was nice and the staff were attentive and polite, however this is where the compliments end.

The location commands a certain expectation, which regretably wasn't met. The mezes didn't impress my turkish companions, whom i would deem as experts in the field. Also the first calamari we ordered arrived rotten. This severely curbed our appetite, and even when the second replacement calamari turned up, it wasn't nice, too soft and squishy. I noticed they were frozen in bags, not fresh, which is mind boggling from a seaside location such as this. I'd been treated to fresh calamari in fethiye only days before, so a massive disappointment.

The music was also very loud for the top terrace, and we couldn't talk to eachother without yelling.

I don't understand all of the 5 star reviews, as the quality of food was low. However, the smoked fish meze was great.

I don't enjoy writing bad reviews, but i feel that the restaurant should seriously take a look at the quality of their fish, and not cut any corners. It shows and ruins their image.

I hope they will take this criticism to heart, and improve for...

If you're staying on the Peninsula, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit!

Nestled with a stunning view of the sea in the distance, this gem has only been open for a month, and we're thrilled to have discovered it.

From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcomed. The refreshing cold flannel offered upon arrival was a delightful touch that set the tone for our meal.

The staff were not only friendly but also introduced us to the chef, adding a personal connection to our dining experience.

I enjoyed the freshest pasta I've ever had, made daily on-site, the prawns , sea bass , squid were unreal as well as the honey chicken!!!

Sharing this special meal with my partner was a highlight of our time here, It’s a place we’ll remember fondly.

Thank you so much for the wonderful experience. We can't wait to return in July with the...
