Could anyone advise us where to go??
Is antique restaurant any good?

Cheers

Antique has just changed hands not sure what it's like now, but Fine Dining, just between Stone Castle and Antique, is nice. Shaheed and Javed are very welcoming and nice sea view from the terrace.

Bar-B. Best in the area...yes my opinion do don't start any wars !
Down the hill, turn Right towards Tatlisu, drive about 3 miles and keep looking on the right for the landmarks of Alcans, Sinya, Joya, then Bar-B.

You may have to book in the season.

Call 2 days ahead and the chef will do you an aged fillet steak surf n turf to order.

Awesome

Gengi's restaurent Alkan holiday village Essentepe. best by far in that area

Tuncay N' Yeri main road, Consistent good quality food.
Remzi in Esentepe village, good home made pizzas, lovely family run restaurant.
Antique,( now Zeugma) first reports is that food is lovely.

we are spoilt for choice in esentepe now!

Esentepe Restaurant 3/4 way up the hill to the village - cheap as chips - fresh and never ever had a bad meal there in 9 years... Meze followed by your choice of amongst others, great Kofte, Karasik Pide and Tavuk Sis always popular.... Looks a bit like a scout hut but never judge a book by its cover. good views of the setting sun and great family-friendly ambience....

The Gorgeous - best kleftico we have on the island in nearly 9 years!

There is good food to be had at The Gorgeous but there is so much tension when eating wondering if the chef is going to have another hissy fit! We went the other night, waiter saw us come in......he milled around the bar then another couple came in and he went straight to them to take their drinks order.....we left!

Tuncay N'Yeri is a great restaurant. Best salmon we have eaten. The mezze is really good too. Always good quality food.

Stonecastle has a great menu plus live music this Saturday!!

Well, H&T - that's just about every restaurant covered in the immediate Esentepe area. Further afield is Jashan and the The Coconut in Bahçeli. There is, also, a local restaurant at the top end of the village (close to the Police HQs) Adgurus Evi, which has had good reviews. You'll not starve in Esentepe and that's a fact. Afiyet olsen!!

Cengis is one of the best IMO

What about Stevies Bar. He also has entertainment twice a week.
Also Seabreeze he has good food, sometime entertainment.

Stevies Bar, Sea Breeze, Eagles Nest, Gorgeous, Sinya, Bar B and Joya are all in Kücük Erenkőy, so not technically Esentepe (albeit only 10 mins drive away). Sea Breeze has good food but diabolically slow service when there a few people in, just like Gorgeous really. Stevies Bar and Bar B - highly recommended for food, hospitality and speed of service. Sinya - good farm food locally produced, Joya - very expensive drinks costs, but nice poolside setting.

So original poster, hopefully you now have a few restaurants to opt for.

Thank you for all the info lol.
We ended up at Fine Dining

The chap who waited on us was very nice guy, laughing and joking with us all night and very attentive, unfortunately my view is they should change the name because this is not a fine dining restaurant & people may go with high expectations.
The restaurant itself looks like a Chinese restaurant although they have decided not to serve that cuisine now.
The menu is all over the place from indian to italian to european,
I think they should just have an indian, european menu and put the italian menu within the european menu & drop italian. With the food, name & decor its just all over the place.

However we had prawn cocktail to start with but i got to say i hate it when the black vein is left in the prawns so i didn't eat it but the garlic butter mushrooms were delicious nice and fresh.
We then had fillet steaks with peppercorn sauce it was delicious but just to small.
Prices are average like everywhere else.

Would give it a go again & try the indian next time.

Sorry 4got to mention right by the sea so nice setting

It is a nice setting and hopefully Shaheed and Javed will see your comments.

I think they were trying to be different from all the other Pakistani restaurants and it's a shame the Chinese hasn't worked out.

I also agree with you about the name but with signs and menus etc printed I doubt changing it will not be an option.

I would of loved a Chinese down here too what a shame they didn't go for it
