Meğri Restaurant - After cracking the clay pot open

I'm not sure if this restaurant in the old town is related to the Megri lokantasi or not but it…read moreseems there are several establishments with the same name (Megri cafe, restaurant and lokantasi). We prefer to eat at the lokantasi but ended up at this location guided by Google maps, mainly looking to try their desti (or test? I've seen it spelled both ways) kebap which essentially is a stew cooked in a clay pot. Both the restaurant and cafe are located in the same area with the old town, share covered outdoor tables and kitchen. The lokantasi seems to be nearby but not in the old town (also as per google maps). We first started with the Mediterranean salad and a couple of mezes (çacık and smoked eggplant), all were very good. The stew took a long while to be ready which we took as a good sign that it was actually being cooked as advertised and not just being placed inside the clay pot for show. One the stew was ready the pot was brought to our table and literally the base was lit up on fire I guess to continue the cooking and to help with cracking the top part of the pot open. The stew was good, they were generous with the amount of lamb meat and didn't just fill the pot with vegetables. The meat was overall tender but some pieces here and there were slightly overcooked. The dish is for 2 people and it's not cheap (1800 TL at the time of this review) but it was worth trying since it's not a dish commonly served in restaurants throughout Turkey.

Tea costs TL7, which is more expensive than anywhere else…read more The location is calm and serene. Staff are not interested in serving. We were supposed to order the main course but decided to leave since we did not feel welcome.

OK, where do I start to tell you about this absolutely fantastic venue…read more However, before I go into raptures about this oasis I would ask management to address one slight problem. Men sitting having dinner in the evening, shirtless, is a definite 'NONO'. A sign, at the entrance, asking that shirts be worn would not go amiss. Even, as a male, I don't want to see a guy with his gut hanging over his belt, I don't know what his partner was thinking. OK, rant over, maybe it's a personal issue on my part. We, most nights of our stay, popped in prior to dinner for their 'top' cocktails. Nowhere, I repeat nowhere, in Olu did anyone come up to their expertise in the making of vodka martini (in fact a Vesper) and caiprinha. They were perfect. But now I must come to their food. We ate one evening and were so astounded by the quality of the food and the service that I asked if a table could be reserved for our last night. Reserving is the best thing to do as there are so many people coming in on the 'off chance' of getting a table. On both evenings we were never rushed and, in fact, had our table most of the evening until we decided to move to the seating area at the back for coffee. Wines were totally delicious and at a reasonable price. The food coming out of the kitchen was beyond description. That chef was brilliant. We had, one evening, Jade Jumbo Prawns. Jumbo???? More like mini lobsters and in a ginger, garlic sauce. To die for. Dessert was beyond us. Then on the last night, a starter to share of seafood. That plate was OTT. Then steak with surf. Wonderful, mouthwatering steak with enough prawns on top. That night I decided to indulge in a chocolate soufle, my partner being full. It arrived with two spoons as, the waiter stated, I would not be able to eat it on my own. I broke the soufle and rich chocolate filling oozed out surrounding the home made ice cream. I needed help LOL We were treated like royalty on every night we visited. Fantastic guys, so friendly and helpful. I never saw the kitchen staff but they must have been working flat out down there. Thank you to everyone for making that ten evenings very, very special. Teşekkürler arkadaşlar
