Visited the Garden Cafe restaurant for the first time in September 2010 and it was without doubt the most laid back, relaxing, wonderful little oasis in the whole of Kalkan. Whether nipping in during the day to get a glass of Melik's world-class home-made lemonade or in the evening for a meal and playing backgamman on the ottoman couches, it... More

Just as good as last year and now they accept credit cards! Last time I said that this place served the best houmous in Kalkan and I would reiterate that having tried a few other places this year. All the food is delicious. There are a couple of other things that make it so special - the lovely garden setting,... More

This is now as much a restaarant as a bar. Still a great atmoshere as well as serving great food. They have an excellent BBQ at really reasonable prices. The free garlic bread to start with is to die for. If you are in Kalkan try it out. More

We had heard about the Garden Cafe before we left for Kalkan and were eager to find this quaint place people had been talking about. The Garden cafe was a lovely, unpretentious place to eat and drink and Mamia and Mustaff and the other staff did all everything they could to attend to our needs. I had peppermint tea picked... More

Our favourite place for a drink and relax, near the harbour but very private and peaceful Good music and friendly staff - especially when we were the only customers huddled under the bar in the rain !!! Sharing platters were good value and very tasty - great for a light lunch More

I have to agree totally with the review above.Four of us stayed in a villa in Kalkan and accidently found this oasis! It is almost on the marina opposite Salt and Pepa Restaurant(which is also lovely, by the way) The owners Melek and Yaser can not do enough to help , even to the point of playing our favourite music...

There is a wall around the garden, as soon as you enter you can smell the jasmine, and it has a romantic feel to it away rom the hussle of the harbour. It had only been open 3... More

This summer we went on holiday to Kalkan, in Turkey. We came across a Garden - bar - terrace near to the beach in Kalkan, near the waterfront. The lady who runs this small quaint bar with her husband is so lovely. She cannot do enough for you, she is always smiling and brings you lovely fresh fruit, nuts, popcorn... More

The Garden Cafe Bar is a retreat set in a courtyard garden surrounded by the scent of Jasmine. Extremely cheap drinks served in very comfortable surroundings by the nicest people we met in Kalkan. (Mind you, all Kalkan people are nice and friendly) Only open a few weeks but try to visit when you're there. Its on the road up... More
