İncir Kayaköy

Fantastic dining experience. Everything they serve are delicious and flavorful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for traditional local food with a touch of originality.

I will be thinking about this meal for a very long time. We have lived in Turkey for over six years and have sampled Turkish dishes from many regions. The entire experience at Incir Kayaköy was nothing short of incredible. Being nestled in the quaint village of Kayaköy gives an incredible atmosphere to take in this amazing food. Because of the pandemic they only offered a set menu, but I can only imagine what we would have missed out on if we would have chosen the dishes. The dishes we recognized were some of the best we’ve had and the ones we had never seen before were even better. The price did not match the quality and quantity of the food. Such an incredible value. It was worth every kuruş and then some. The chef was so gracious to help us navigate the dishes with one of our family members unable to eat gluten and the other a vegetarian. Needless to say there were only a couple of dishes they couldn’t eat which is often difficult to find. If you are staying in Fethiye or Ölüdeniz or really anywhere near Kayaköy make it a priority to get a reservation and guarantee yourself a memorable experience. This was certainly one of the best dining experiences we have had in Turkey.

The set menu was very delicious and the Lamb was just amazing. The service and atmosphere is very nice.

Unfortunately our experience was way below to what we have been expecting. I would strongly recommend for couples with kids to think twice before taking a visit to this location. Definitely, a sub-standard service compared to the price you will pay. Edit after restaurant’s reply: I find it quite amusing that you have the guts to simply accuse me because you had an unpleasant experience with another guest (who, by the way “begged” to eat at your place according to your narrative), although you have no idea who I am. My wife’s name is not Yelda, nor do I have two children. And if you are still wondering, I have not had this ugly interaction with your husband either. In any case, the arrogance and sarcasm in your reply gives a good hindsight of what your guests might expect if they do not want to take up with your sloppy and unwelcoming service. I do appreciate your decision to be “adult-friendly”, maybe you can try harder and be “human-friendly” once in a while.

There are no words to express how amazing this restaurant is. The food was unique, fresh, and impeccably executed. A modern twist on Turkish cuisine, the menu was so well curated that we ate here two nights in a row. The chef and her husband only enhanced the experience with amazing service and conversation. It didn’t hurt that the scenery was beautiful and that the restaurant is the perfect location to watch the sunset. Five stars doesn’t even capture the true perfection of this place.

A beautiful 4 course set menu in a very serene calm garden. Delicious 3 mezes plus a salad, followed by interesting beetroot mucver with delicate yoghurt and tahini sauce, delicious spices and cheese stuffed baby squid, then the main of poached rock bass with pureed celeriac Heavenly! Mosaic cake and Turkish coffee rounded the evening off. The wine list looked very enticing too!

The place to go to if you want a non pretentious gourmet touch to traditional Turkish cousine. Everything here was great, and a little bit brave at times with success. The wine card here is as good as it gets in local Turkish wines, and you can of course go rakı instead.

There are some places where you wish you had more than 5⭐️ to give. İncir Kayaköy is one of them. We have been there many times and our expectations were always exceeded. Either when they had a la carte menu, or now, when they have a fix menu, renewed every 2 weeks. The food is amazing. Traditional, tasty, fresh and healthy Turkish food, cooked with passion by chef Hilal. The place is cozy and quiet, people are very nice and the music is perfect. Definitely recommended.
