Nautilus

Yediğiniz her şey lezzetli, taze ve bol porsiyon. Güler yüzlü personel ve hızlı servis. Ben her gittiğim restaurantta neyiniz meşhur diye sorarım ama buranın her şeyi meşhur ve damak çatlata cinsten. Ortalama fiyat ama yediklerimiz çok lezzetli olduğundan verdiğimiz her kuruşa değer.

Once again this delightful family-run establishment was our favourite restaurant in Soğut, with delicious, freshly-cooked food served “al fresco’ in a superb location on the picturesque waterfront. You are guaranteed a warm welcome by Anil (who speaks excellent English) and his team; in fact, everyone is genuinely friendly and nothing is too much trouble. (They were incredibly patient and very encouraging when I tried to tried to speak a little Turkish!) As is the Turkish custom, there is no written-down menu but Anil will be happy to talk you through what’s on offer, including the catch of the day, all freshly-cooked to order by his father. We found that there was always an extensive range of hot and cold meze available and, this year, we enjoyed locally-caught lobster and red snapper, lamb cutlets and kebabs and the pide (similar to pizza). The restaurant premises are pristine and surrounded by colourful flower beds and herbs. In short, it’s a joy to visit and, if you are there in the evening, the views of the sunset are simply amazing.

Had dinner more than once and can happily say that it was one of the best meals I had in Turkey! Wonderful staff and ambience, family run - will be back and would love to stay at their accommodation as well.

We were so happy to be back in Sogut and able to visit Nautilus, one of our favourite restaurants. Really delicious food. Lots of the veggie meze are home-grown. The pizza and pide are excellent and we love the seafood too. Service, by Anil, was fabulous as ever, it was lovely to be welcomed back, even though we've not seen him for two years. Overlooking the sea, there can't be many nicer ways to spend an evening. Highly recommended.
