Beachside “cafe” at The Mandarin Oriental Bodrum.
The menu.
The beach.
Lahmacun. Minced Beef with Fresh Tomatoes & Green Pepper. Crispy thin crust (probably lavash) with a great flavor. Really nice.
Grilled Seabass Sandwich. Tomato, rocket, red onion, fresh herbs, ttartare sauce, ciabatta bread.
Zoom.
Doner plate. French fries, griilled tomatoes & pepper, Sumac Onion. Good, and certainly the best doner I’ve had yet, but I sorta like Gyro better — it’s meatier and has the yogurt. This needs yogurt.
Condiments for the fries.
Gorgeous beachside cafe with a big menu and excellent execution. The prices however are otherworldly, particularly for Turkey. Mezze are 4x what they were at Gio Rooftop and that’s also a “snazy” hotel restaurant.
