So pleased you enjoyed your holiday. I was through in Icmeler last week and thought the place was looking good. The beach was still busy too. Great stuff !

Jay Trip,

Were there any particular restaurants that you'd recommend. I've just booked a weeks self catering in Icmeler for next June for me and my girlfriend, and having never been to Turkey before (apart from one week with the lads in Gumbet a long time ago) any info would be helpful.

Thanks

Hi Steve,There are many lovely restaurants and this time we ate in the Keram,a lovely small Turkish restaurant on the canal,Venice and Majestic also on the canal.Cupids and Mandalin near each other just down from the main square.Champions,which is run by a local family and they also sell Efes at 2TL.We had Sunday lunch for the first time ever in Turkey at the 3 Bells,worth it just for the giant Yorkshire puddings!We also ate at Coco beach on the sea front which was lovely.Most lunch times we ate in Cafe Ann,also on the sea front and next door to Coco Beach.All the meals we had were lovely and reasonably priced.On our last night my husband had 15 king prawns as part of a 4 course meal at Coco beach and it was only 25TL(£10.50)My chicken dish was 18TL(£7.50)for a 4 course meal.
If you look on the photo gallery on Icmeler on line there are photos of the restaurants and some of the dishes.
You have chosen the right resort for a 1st visit as its really lovely.Many people return time and time again.
I hope to return in May so may be able to add some more restaurants to my list before you go,Jay.

Its across the road from the Elvis Bar, and very close to Wonderboys, Champagne Restaurant, and just the other side of Valentinos (Old Barons).

Jay,

Thanks very much for the reply. I've just been having a look on Icmeler online as suggested and can't believe the amount of info on there. Its nearly as good as Holiday-truths! ;)

I'm just back from Icmeler, and like JayTrip, I would highly recolmmend the Kerem on the canal for fantastic, authentic Turkish food. The owner, Leila, and her family are so friendly and welcoming and the place itself is also very interesting. If you go, leave enough room for the cheesecake - it's to die for!
Oh, and yes, I would also recommend Sunday roasts at the 3 Bells. We'd heard good things about them and decided to try this time and we certainly weren't disappointed - excellent value for money too.,
In fact, we didn't have a bad meal during our week - ate in various places including Venice, Love Boat, Titanic and Lemon Tree, where we celebrated my husband's 50th birthday! Can't wait to go back to Icmeler again!

I must have walked past the Kerem hundreds of times on previous visits as it looks just like a house.It was recommended on here by someone and we loved it.It really is something special with the lovely owners making you feel welcome.We shared the cheesecake as the portion was huge.
I dont know how many restaurants there are in Icmeler but everyone we tried was excellent.The prices were reasonable too.
I cant wait to return and will try those places we never got round to this time!
