What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Lebessos Winehouse Restaurant & Kahvaltıcı Mahmut is celebrated for its outstanding Turkish breakfast, featuring fresh, homemade ingredients and creative dishes. Diners rave about the warm, attentive service and the magical ambiance set against the backdrop of the Kayakoy village ruins. While most experiences are overwhelmingly positive, some note that the restaurant can be a bit pricier than alternatives and occasionally overuses pepper in savory dishes.
"As a foreigner who’s lived in Turkey for years and seen pretty much all of the country, this place is easily in my top 3 breakfast places of all time.
Food: is great, made with homemade ingredients, not frozen stuff which really matters. On top of that they have put together some really creative appetizers.
Service: Staff is very friendly, shout out to Batuhan and the owner for good service.
Location: Surrounded by mountains and a wonderful historical location.
Highly recommend it."
