Grill

The restaurant is known for its skilled chefs who transform fresh ingredients into delightful dishes.

The modern yet traditional ambiance provides an enjoyable dining experience, especially with live music events often hosted on-site. Visitors have praised the restaurant for its excellent service and delicious food varieties.
If you haven't visited this restaurant yet. Then it's definitely a must go when you're in Alanya. There are many different dishes, you can have the meat prepared to your liking. The price is ok. The staff is service-minded and has time to take care of the guests despite being busy. We got drinks shortly after ordering, and we didn't wait too long for the food, we were asked several times about the food if everything was ok. Definitely a good experience and not the last time we eat there. If you leave hungry it's 100% your own fault.

I found very good reviews about this restaurant online and therefore decided to try it out. We went as a group of 8 and seated straight away. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The food was amazing but the portions are huge! Amazing authentic Turkish food, would highly recommend.

Nice atmosphere and friendly service but the meat was dry. My mom ordered a ceasar salad and the chicken was not tender. I had lamb liver and it was also hard to chew on. It was still okay to eat but I expected more because of the good reviews. I am sure they reheated it. Would not come here again, there are much better places.

I had a really nice experience at Mezze Grill Restaurant & Ocakbaşı in Alanya. The food was very tasty, fresh, and nicely prepared, and the atmosphere was also great – cozy and welcoming. The service was friendly, which made the evening even better. The only small downside is that the prices are a bit on the high side. Other than that, it’s a lovely place to enjoy a good meal in Alanya.

I had Alinazik and Lamb Shish, and unfortunately the quality of the meat is really bad. Not sure how this restaurant got over 4 stars.
Arturs R — Google review
The staff here are friendly, which I really appreciated. However, if you sit outside, be aware it’s quite loud as it’s right next to the road. I ate here twice and was disappointed both times. The lasagna tasted premade and wasn’t great, and the chicken had an odd texture with very little flavor. The highlight was the Turkish bread they serve as a starter, which I really enjoyed, but unfortunately the main dishes didn’t live up to expectations.

The place is super nice and cozy, with live music that’s definitely the highlight of the restaurant. They serve fresh fish — a little on the expensive side, but absolutely worth it for the quality and taste. The service is friendly and attentive, though it could be a bit faster. Overall, it’s a great spot that’s definitely worth trying!

Staff - attentive, friendly & funny. Great service throughout dinner and didn’t try to up-sell. Also gave great advice on local seafood. The grilled octopus starter and the grouper is a MUST!!! We also ordered mixed grill which was alright, considering it’s a seafood restaurant - though I’d recommend going all in on seafood if you come here! We sat outside the front which was lovely, but the inside ( an outdoor courtyard) looks really nice as well - recommend the inside if it’s a date for vibes & abit more privacy

Fantastic dinner at Ayar Meyhanesi in Antalya. We shared the mixed seafood—sea bream, prawns, and giant squid tentacles. Everything was grilled yet impressively tender and juicy; you can taste the freshness and the chef’s skill. We also had the seafood spaghetti, which was excellent—seasoning was top-notch and distinctive without being heavy. The total was ₺4,700 for two (roughly ₺2,000–2,500 per person). The ambiance is lovely with a live band, and the evening lighting feels romantic—great for a date or a larger group. Highly recommended. 好吃😋!

This might be my favourite thing we did in Antalya. Excellent food, service, atmosphere, live music. Absolutely everything was perfect, and Farhad our server, was very helpful, funny and generous. He showed the seafood available and gave lots of information and options, the fish was very tasty! If I come back to Antalya, I am 100% coming back here. I understand why they say they have the best seafood in Antalya!

We we’re so happy to find this place. They got the best seafood in the area. We ordered half red snapper (1.5kg) and Tiger shrimps, it was heavenly. The ambience of the restaurant was very nice and inviting. The live music makes the night unforgettable. The service was impeccable, from the server to the runner were super friendly and very attending. Ilham helped us in choosing the best fish for us. We spent about 150€.

We went for our wedding anniversary by making a dinner reservation. First of all, they arranged a beautifully decorated table for us on the grass. They showed great interest. The service was very good. We ordered the mixed fish tray for two. It was perhaps the best fish I have ever eaten in my life. I highly recommend this extraordinary restaurant to everyone. We were very pleased. There is a wonderful atmosphere for your special occasions and they do their best.

A beach and restaurant of exactly the quality we were looking for. The organization, beauty and hygiene are perfect, the quality is also excellent. The menu options are wide, especially the seafood is incredible. We went to this stylish restaurant with a large group of friends and had dinner on the terrace, which was beautifully decorated on natural grass, and we enjoyed the meals prepared for us at a perfect sunset. The presentation is price-performance ratio. I highly recommend it.

We went as four adults, making a reservation at the Q Beach Restaurant, which has a wonderful atmosphere by the sea. Our waiter recommended the Shrimp and Fried Calamari as a starter, and we ordered them. For the main course, we ordered grilled salmon, mixed grill, Q beef pizza, and grilled meatballs. The dishes that followed were exquisite in both presentation and taste. The prices are normal for this quality. The service was very good, and they spoke English fluently. We were very pleased and highly recommend it.

Cafe Vita Kalkan is a popular spot known for its excellent cuisine served in generous portions. The upbeat atmosphere, friendly staff, and live entertainment add to the overall experience. Visitors highly recommend the Wednesday night barbecue with live music. The restaurant also offers a great selection of cocktails and has a cozy and atmospheric vibe with trees and fairy lights. Additionally, it provides good value for money, speedy service, and delicious food whether dining in or getting takeout.
Called in for a much needed munch after a few hours drinking in Kalkan. We had a cheeseburger, Mexican burger, a large portion of chips and a bottle of wine. The burgers were really tasty and the chips were amazing. Staff were efficient and friendly. Prices were reasonable so nothing not to like. We would definitely go back.

Our family visited Cafe Vita to eat twice in July 2025. All the meals be ordered were lovely. Beef Steaks were very nice and peppercorn sauce was tasty. Homemade burgers were amazing and only £1 extra to double stack. Tasty homemade pizza. I think there homemade chips were one of the best things I'd tasted all holiday. They have some sort of seasoning added and we all thought they were amazing. Good presentation of dishes too. It's more if a restaurant really than a Cafe, in food quality and the setting. Prices were very reasonable and less expensive than most for the high quality of food bring served. The Cafe itself is very nice. Inside and outside areas and a treehouse too. Clean and beautiful surroundings, bougainvillea tree going through the cafe and cuttings placed on the tables. Location wise it's not far from the main part of Kalkan and there are some good local bars next to it, so worth a visit to that area. All in all we had a very walm welcome from Mustafa and his staff at Cafe Vita and would definitely visit the Cafe again if we return to Kalkan.

Super place! We stopped for lunch and I forgot my bag here - I messaged the number online an hour later and they responded quickly and held it for me until I could get back. Super friendly and helpful people. Restaurant has a nice patio, great host and servers. They also have a bbq every Wednesday and play football on other days of the week. Very friendly and welcoming spot! Food was good too!

The food was delicious. I had a burger and chips. The burger was juicy and the chips were perfect - crispy, salty and fresh. The cheesecake was also delicious. The drinks are strong but tasty, very affordable and the staff are friendly and wonderful. Mustafa is the owner and a lovely, generous man who made us all feel welcome. My favourite place to go in Kalkan to feel welcome and have a great time. Would recommend and visit again.
