Kiwi Restaurant (Ladies beach) - Three visits
You know they are doing a good thing when you visit the same restaurant three times during your one-week stay in Kusadasi, Turkey. Not only do you become friends with the team, but you find other travellers coming back so that it becomes a social hub for good times.
As you walk down the beautiful sidewalk nestled above Ladies beach, you're spoilt for choice.
However, you will need to remain strong and not be lured into the more casual eateries along the street, but be sure to stop at Kiwi Restaurant. Insider tip for Kiwi Restaurant: despite what everyone else does, eating indoors at the edge affords you a better view of the Aegean Sea and some extra nice touches like cloth napkins.
The restaurant has recently been fully refurbished and furnished with high-quality furniture indoors and outdoors. It has the perfect lounge chairs to relax, drink, and watch the sunsets.
Where do we begin? By the end, the chef served our food simply because we all enjoyed the dining and conversations. Nothing beats being greeted with a big hug and smile by the entire team as you walk into the restaurant; we truly felt like family.
The menu will accommodate everyone with an extensive selection, but you can be assured it is of excellent quality. All food is freshly prepared, including top-quality meats, which stand out. Kiwi Restaurant devotes itself to how fresh the produce is, and it's cooked with a light touch but perfection by the chefs.
Think juicy steaks or mouth-watering lamb alongside freshly homemade pasta, pizza, succulent, moist prawns, or freshly caught fish. Each dish was delicious, but do try the Mexican cuisine too!!
The wine list is minimal; however, the premium wine is competitively priced and goes perfectly with the food they serve.
The lovely barman is always happy to make your favourite cocktail and has a couple of tricks that will make you sit back and soak up the sun and magnificent views. One more will always lead to a few more, served with a smile and laugh.
Pricing is very reasonable, especially considering the quality and consistency of the food, service and that picture-perfect view. Be sure to take in a few sunsets; they are truly magical.
Thank you to the wonderful boys who welcomed us with open arms each visit; you each hold a special place in our hearts.
