Reviews on Turkish food in Finike, Antalya Province, Turkey. Finike, the ancient Phoenicus (Ancient Greek: Φοινικοῦς), also formerly Phineka, is a district on the Mediterranean coast of Antalya Province in Turkey, to the west of the city of Antalya, along the Turkish Riviera. It is located on the southern shore of the Teke peninsula, and the coast here is a popular tourist destination. However, Finike is best known for its oranges, the symbol of the town.

Mavi Sofra is an extraordinary restaurant that has been run by a friendly family for many years. Their food is superb and cooked in a large wood fired oven.Go hungry, or prepare to take some of the food with you because they provide you with a more than ample supply of food. It's not just the main dish, as the special presentations leading up to it are just as impressive.I would recommend the Mavi Sofra special pizza, which is loaded with delicious ingredients. I also can recommend any of the casseroles, but the chicken casserole is my favorite. It is a large portion and contains an excellent tomato based sauce. They know what they are doing!They will bring a salad with a tasty dressing, and various appetizers at no extra charge, including baked mushrooms and spinach wrapped in a pastry. These are substantial, and you have to be careful not to spoil your appetite before the main course.For small town Finike has an abundance of good restaurants. I have recommended Neseli Kafe as possibly the best in Finike, but I can also say without reservation that the Mavi Sofra is equally as good. The bottom line is I have two favorite restaurants in Finike, Turkey
The exquisite scenery of the river of Limyros is inviting you for a rich breakfast to savor the local tastes. If you wish, you may pick your own fruit from the trees and collect your eggs from the poultry house of the village.
We visited for a brunch as a leaving event for a local friend. It is a beautiful site with the free flowing river. There are lovely views of the orchards and the nearby hills and the views themselves make the visit worthwhile. The spread of food provided was varied and tasty if a little small for the number of visitors. Tea and coffee are available but at additional cost.We felt that the restaurant has much to offer but probably lacks a bit of âoomphâ to get going. They have recently opened some new cabins for guests to stay which were clean and spacious but, given the location were a bit expensive.Notwithstanding my comments, it is worth a visit.
The AltıntaÅ restaurant is about five km below the fabulous,ancient site of Arikanda at the village of Arif, north of Flnlke. When we first went there Mustafa was a young man, now his son looks after diners. The setting is idyllic, beside a trout stream in the shade of huge trees. Ducks, peacocks and cats mingle among the tables. The food is sensational, if you like trout. The order of trout and salad brings, along with them, bread that is baked when you order, bbq-ed onions and garlic, a crumbly sheepâs cheese with walnuts, fried potatoes and tomatoes. The salad is among the very best we have ever had in Turkey and it has been that good for thirty years. The trout is ....... fantastic, cooked closed or open and de-boned it is the best trout I have ever eaten. The bonus is that it is extraordinarily cheap, the best value meal in all of Turkey. We sometimes make the two hour trip just to have lunch there.
We have visited this restaurant with my wife. My wife ordered trout and I ordered lamb. Both dishes were delicious. The service was great. Prices were reasonable. It is one of the rare places that you can order alcholic drinks in Finike. You can taste local wines also. The food service begins at 14:00, just a little note.
Mekan güleryüzlü hızlı hizmetiyle 5 yıldızı hakediyor. Köfte piyaz bir harika tam lezzet patlaması. Buraya yolu düÅen yemeden gitmesin derim. Biz sadece bu kofteyi yiyip kemere devam ettik.

Stopped here on the drive from Antalya to Kas, not expecting anything special. The grilled fish was nice and at the right price (if you pay more than 15TL for a grilled fish in Turkey, you're really getting ripped off, based on over a year of working and living here); nice hot bread and free selection of mezes. Total bill 30TL for two with no alcohol (I prefer to drink at home as it is terrible value drinking out in Turkey...bad drinks and high prices, but to each their own!)

This restaurant and Neseli Balik are side by side and are more or less the same restaurant. Balik is for seafood, and Kafe is for other meats and dishes as I understand it. Both of them have great settings.I went here for a friend's birthday. She wanted lamb, but they didn't have it on the menu so one of the waiters went to a nearby butcher and got it for us. Pretty cool, huh? Dogum günün kutlu olsun.The meals were all really well presented, very high-end, and the quality was that of a high-end restaurant. The "Anatolian Fire Steak" was beautiful, as was the filet with a Roquefort sauce. These are tender and juicy steaks. The Tortellini Alfredo would make an Italian chef proud.The restaurant is very near the mosque, and as a result they can't sell alcohol. That might be a negative for some, but we didn't really care.The staff created a beautiful birthday cake as a surprise, and played a version of Happy Birthday in Turkish (Ä°yiki doÄdun) over the sound system. It made it a very special night.We had a great time. This place is class all the way, and is inexpensive as well. I would highly recommend Neseli Kafe!

I was there with my friends to spend a wonderful night and try the turkish kitchen.Actually the food was not that bad,but it was the first time in my life that i have been in a fish restaurant where there is no alcohol,therefore i dont recommend you to go there as there are much better options in Finike and over Antalya.The staff was not rude but it was really hard to communicate with them as they are not able to speak english at all,so we were only able to communicate with them with the help of some translation programs.Only positive thing that i would say is that the prices were budget friendly.
