Food & Wine at The Dionysos
Dining at Dionysos
The ultimate compliment we can give the al fresco restaurant is quite simply to state that it is full virtually every evening of the season. The menu is created by the resident chef, Didem (Ahmet’s daughter) – who is rapidly earning a reputation as one of Turkey’s best known celebrity
chefs. The style is ‘Different Tastes of the Mediterranean’.
A varied à la carte menu and tasteful special evenings held twice weekly, ensure guests keep returning. These well-received evenings
make the most of the dramatic setting with guests dining to live music, followed by dancing – literally – in the moonlight!
The special restaurant, Nar, is a fascinating and extremely popular idea. This special restaurant seats a maximum of 14 guests and only opens on Wednesday and Thursday. The concept is ‘An education
of Turkish Cuisine’. Twelve tiny courses are served (you may ask for as much of each course as you wish) accompanied by fine wines and liquers. The charge is approximately £30 excluding drinks.
Wine at the Dionysos
Ahmet assures us that the world’s first wines originated from the Cappadocia region and that today Turkey is the world’s
sixth largest grape producer. Those that know Ahmet will not be surprised to hear that there are many more facts where those
came from! The Dionysos wine list is based on ‘The Best of Turkey’ which Ahmet and Rim – both great wine lovers – will happily spend many an hour discussing.
So keen is Ahmet for guests to experience the quality of Turkish wines that he has introduced complimentary wine tastings which are usually held every week.
Dionysos Sea Club
A select beach club with water sports by day & elegant waterfront restaurant by night.
The Sea Club provides further choice for dining and is to be found immediately below the hotel on Kumlubük Bay. Run in the unique Dionysos style, the Sea Club provides an exclusive beach club service throughout the day for the Exclusive Escapes guests in the region and a few select others who wish to relax by the sea in style and enjoy the idyllic setting, stirring themselves to enjoy the water sports
provided nearby.
By night the Sea Club turns into a select, intimate and romantic sea-front restaurant.
Kindly note: the Sea Club is in operation from mid-May to mid-October.
A la Carte Evening Meal Supplement £16
This is a pre-booked rate only. Rates are inclusive of special evenings, can be booked for any number of days and applied on an entirely flexible basis to both the Dionysos and Sea Club restaurants.
Guests can choose each evening from the à la carte menu without wine, or alternatively (with the exception of the special evenings) choose the speciality of the day inclusive of a half bottle of wine per person. This rate constitutes a small but not significant saving.
Kindly note: ‘Nar’ is not included within this rate.
