Nautilus

Everything about this restaurant is perfect!! The staff are very friendly and so helpful . The view is stunning and the place is immaculate. We had ordered the slow cooked lamb cooked in a tandoori oven and it was unbelievably good ! As is everything else we have had so far. If you are in this area you must try this restaurant. 10/10

Once again this delightful family-run establishment was our favourite restaurant in Soğut, with delicious, freshly-cooked food served “al fresco’ in a superb location on the picturesque waterfront. You are guaranteed a warm welcome by Anil (who speaks excellent English) and his team; in fact, everyone is genuinely friendly and nothing is too much trouble. (They were incredibly patient and very encouraging when I tried to tried to speak a little Turkish!) As is the Turkish custom, there is no written-down menu but Anil will be happy to talk you through what’s on offer, including the catch of the day, all freshly-cooked to order by his father. We found that there was always an extensive range of hot and cold meze available and, this year, we enjoyed locally-caught lobster and red snapper, lamb cutlets and kebabs and the pide (similar to pizza). The restaurant premises are pristine and surrounded by colourful flower beds and herbs. In short, it’s a joy to visit and, if you are there in the evening, the views of the sunset are simply amazing.

We were so happy to be back in Sogut and able to visit Nautilus, one of our favourite restaurants. Really delicious food. Lots of the veggie meze are home-grown. The pizza and pide are excellent and we love the seafood too. Service, by Anil, was fabulous as ever, it was lovely to be welcomed back, even though we've not seen him for two years. Overlooking the sea, there can't be many nicer ways to spend an evening. Highly recommended.
