Probably my favourite restaurant in Kalkan. The view is spectacular, but many of the surrounding restaurants with a similar view do not provide the same level of service and value for money as Sunset Restaurant.
This restaurant is run by a small family and the service is one of their star qualities as a result, they are lovely people who are quick to serve and try their best to please.
I dined as part of a group of 11 and we ate at a quiet time of the day, despite this the food came out relatively quickly and was absolutely perfect, everyone enjoyed their meal.
We spent approximately 450 TL per head, this included our meals and a drink or two each. Compared to other restaurants the quality pound for pound was excellent.
If you’re going to the waterfront expecting to have a meal, all of the restaurants charge very similar amounts for a meal and drinks, but others charge more for much less in terms of service and food quality.
Also the owner may embellish his ‘world famous’ lemonade a little, but that doesn’t make it any less tasty! He is just marketing his business so I’m not sure why some people are upset with this. It certainly was very good, and hearing the story of how he produces it was very interesting.
Definitely give this restaurant a...
Read moreWe had 'famous' lemonade and coffee on a cloudy, cool June 2023 day, low season, few tourists around town. Service fast and friendly (Mr. Yavuz), and you are unrushed/unpressured, you can sit as long as you like (dogs come and sit by you). Kind, gentle service all one can ask for.
Tables/chairs good quality, custom made even. View is fantastic, harbor boats coming and going, beach (halk plaji) right there. Lemonade is very tasty, although 'famous' is a bit overstated. Coffee is good, but could be hotter. Only complaint is, wow, the price is sky high. 100TL for lemonade, 60TL for coffee. Ouch. Even in the USA 5$ for lemonade would be considered very high. Yes location/view is awesome... so that's the way it...
Read moreExcellent meal near the harbour. Yavuz and his family are lovely and we were served a beautiful meal. Fish cakes and filo pastry filled with salami and cheese for starters. Both delicious. Stuffed Calamari and Meatballs Casserole both divine. Depth of flavours and tenderness were amazing. For a nice special touch we had our names piped in chocolate on a plate of his wife's homemade cheesecake. The cheesecake was light and one of the best I have ever tasted. Yavuz is friendly and enthusiastic to ensure his customers have a great time. It is good to see a family restaurant run with love and care. I wish them well in what is a competitive market. The food they serve and care they show makes them a top...
