We are staying at a lovely hotel in Yalikavak and wanted to venture out for lunch. We heard great things about Le Cafe Restaurant, including in Lonely Planet. I'm not sure why this restaurant was singled out for rave reviews when it's indistinguishable from the all the other waterfront restaurants around it. I heard it was special because the owner/chef(?) specializes in both Indian and Italian cuisines. When we arrived, we were given a menu that didn't even include any Indian food options, so we had to specifically ask for it. My husband ordered an unremarkable margarita pizza and I ordered a cheese and tomato panini that was also bland and unremarkable. More disappointing than the food was the service. Our waiter had a huge attitude problem. He was rude, curt and inattentive. We can't even blame it on communication, because we speak some Turkish. His rudeness really affected our dining experience. When I was leaving the restaurant, I told the owner about our waiter's rudeness. He muttered a quiet "sorry" in response. I would not return to this restaurant or recommend it to others.

3 sene kadar önce gitmiştim ve servisinden yavaşlığı sebebi ile memnun kalmamıştım. Bu sene tekrar denedik, çipura ızgara ve cheeseburger 1,5 saatte geldi. Sadece meze ve içecekler hızlı servis edildi. Tekrar denen niyetim yok malesef.
