Restaurants in Kas

The Sultan Garden Restaurant in Kaş is where you will find a brilliant view overlooking the harbour. Get there early or book to get one of the harbourside tables situated almost nearly on the gangplanks of the neighbouring yachts! This traditional Turkish restaurant is run by a local family and serves Turkish food with specialities from Eastern Turkey. The restaurant is surrounded by lovely gardens, ancient tombs and a water cistern. With a good value for your money, prices start from only €20.

This is a long established restaurant is set in a pretty garden near the Lion Tomb. Our favourite for meze (Turkish Starters); there is a wide range both hot and cold that are fun to mix and match, washed down with the potent local rakı (similar to ouzo or pastis). The same family also run a fish restaurant just across the street. Price from: €20

The only French garden style restaurant in town and tucked away on a small back street in Kaş. There are not very many in Turkey. Owned by Evy, a French ex-pat of nearly 20 years. Evy serves the most delicious food and her place is a favourite with both locals and tourists. Specialities are the leg of lamb and the excellent steaks. Portions are generally hearty, but vegetarians and light appetites are catered to by a range of savoury and sweet crepes. Make a reservation to avoid disappointment because Evy only prepares enough for her guests and seldom has any left over. Chez Evy has a very good selection of wines. Dinner runs from €20 and up...

Music bars are the hot spots of the active Nightlife in Kaş. The classic old rock and dance and drink place is the Red Point Cafe & Bar owned by Tefvik Serin, who was born and raised in Kaş. Tevfik is one of the main reasons to visit Red Point Cafe & Bar but then if you like to drink, talk or dance, this is the place to be until the late hours of the morning.

The Hideaway Cafe & Bar has literally carved a niche for itself next to the Kaş town square. Access is through a small doorway which faces the harbour. The special thing about this place is that though it is enclosed it is still an open air bar set in a beautiful courtyard under trees. The décor is simple yet comfortable. Unlike other bars in Kaş which play music of the 70s and 80s, R 'n' Bs, garage and house, the Hideaway Cafe & Bar plays classic rock and blues music of the 60s and 70s. You need to visit Hideaway Cafe & Bar to fully appreciate the range of music and garden ambiance.

Another favorite place in the city square (meydan) next to the Atatürk statue is Mavi Bar . Consistently commented upon by tourists and locals alike is the ability of Mavi Bar to combine a "sit and watch" crowd with the "let's get up and dance" groups. Usually open very late and because of its location, Mavi Bar is very easy to find.
