Deniz Restoran - Sigacik

Deniz Restoran - One visit

Deniz Restoran is a seafood restaurant in Sigacik, Turkey, with beautiful views of the Teos marina.

Being a pure seafood restaurant, hubby wasn't happy, but he survived due to great views, white tablecloths, proper cloth napkins, and the deep-fried calamari!

It was the slow season in Sigacik, as it was the beginning of spring. The service was exceptional, and the team was full of smiles. Our only comment was that the service was slightly pushy when you entered; you are whisked straight to the day's catch and Turkish appetisers on display before you are seated.

We are the type of diners who seek out a great table and the wine list before we even look at the food menu, which, in this case, didn't exist, so you needed to pop back to order.

There is plenty of fresh fish and plenty of it, so you will indeed find something that suits your palate. I enjoyed a fillet of a lovely swordfish, and it was delicious.

This large restaurant has two floors of seating, and because it is set up to cater to tourists, it could be a busy restaurant at its peak.

We would have felt a little more comfortable if a menu with prices (or listed above the fish) was available; otherwise, you would have been left in the dark while ordering or missed out on some delicious new dishes. Pricing was a little steeper based on our experience travelling through Turkey, but there was nothing to worry about.

The wine list included a range of local wines. It was relatively small, possibly due to the low season, but competitively priced, and you would be sure to find a suitable match for your food.

The location is lovely and very peaceful. We had a nice slow lunch overlooking the yachts and sailboats in the marina.
