Varuna Gezgin Cafe - Antalya

My fav bar in Antalya and my fav breakfast place in Kaleici. Great vibe and lovely staff. It has a great garden. Whenever I am in Antalya, I always swing by.

Having lived in Turkey for 17 years, I eat out a lot and love promoting local business. I also don't favour posting a bad review, but in this case it was warrantied. The restaurant was recommended by friends, and although it has many rated reviews, it should stick to being a quirky cafe.. On ordering my meal, the reasonably priced house wine was "not available", just the pricier wines by the glass. My, steak (priciest dish on their menu) didn't arrive with the advertised steamed vegetables, but.a medley of oily stir-fried substitutes. together with a few lettuce leaves.. Definitely not what I ordered. Sadly the replacement food was little better. After two previous excellent meals in the Kaleiçi area, this was a real disappointment.. Suggest you stick to the cafe food and drinks items and eat dinner elsewhere..

Varuna cafe is one of the best pubs around Turkey, the owner is a traveller and loves to display vintage items on his restaurants. The decoration is one of the best things about this pub. My favourite dish is the chicken Pad Thai. I fell in love with it. The beer is always cold, the staff is super friendly. it's a great place to relax and be impressed. They usually serve a portion of olive with olive oil that's is just tasty and welcoming. Go have fun there!

Very chill place, liked it a lot. Many delicious vegan options on the menu and the staff is super friendly as well. Highly recommendable!

I was super amazed to discover this place. Perhaps it’s away from the hustle and bustle of old town but authentic and charming cafe / restaurant. They have a good selection of draught beer (especially Guinness) and have so many interesting antique items inside. The whole place reminds of historical days when libraries were cool, well they are cool now too. The ambience is nice and I really enjoyed the food and the friendly waiters and service. There is a good selection of food and you will surely find something interesting to try. I would definitely put this on my bucket list if I was visiting antalya. The prices are also very reasonable and they have a beautiful outdoor dining area in case you are a smoker. Inside the place is just wow, go ahead check it out.

Nice and huge venue. Plenty of space. It seemed to me they have some mosquitos in the patio. Food and service were ok. Vienna schnitzel was overlooked. No compliment appetizers were offered :( Junior cheese plate came after pasta.

This place is one of my favorite bars/cafe in Antalya's old town. Very interesting decoration, impressive story behind it, super friendly staff and cozy corners to sit and spend time with your friends. I recommend here big time.

We found this place walking around the Old Town. We ordered their version of Turkish breakfast. We started eating but we noticed that something was missing. We asked 2 waiters and the only thing they did was apologise and offered a turkish coffee on the house instead, which we refused as it was not what we wanted. 2 more tables next to us came in and they ordered the same breakfast (the only turkish style breakfast on the menu). We noticed they received way more than we had, which was what was listed on their menu, including honey with cheese, fruit, bread, water. When we requested the bill we were not even given a small discount to compensate the items missing.Not going again. I had high expectations considering the history of the chain and the beautiful decor, but this service ruined it. The price for the breakfast is high if compared to other food places in Antalya. Even Istanbul compared for that same price of 160 Turkish Lira (80 lira per 2 person), gets you double the food we had here. Such a shame.
