Reviews Summary
Dede Restaurant is lauded for its high service standards, exceptional food quality, and stunning marina views, making it a top choice in Marmaris. Diners particularly love the fresh seafood and steaks, as well as the friendly, family-like atmosphere. However, a few reviews mentioned undercooked food and potential food safety concerns, though these appear to be isolated incidents.
"We decided here for dinner and couldn’t of picked a more perfect place! We had the cold starter to share first and then one seafood and beef casserole?!! Super yummy …
However waiters were so lovely and made the whole evening so sweet! What a lovely waiter completely didn’t catch his name as too busy chatting ❤️❤️❤️ thank you"

"We ate at Dede last year, thought I did a review then, but clearly I haven't.
I like the story at the beginning of the menu about Dede's grandfather and the restaurant is run by his extended family.
We stopped here for lunch. I ordered a a chicken fajita with a cherry juice and my husband had chicken Dede with a beer.
The food came and I had the cheese, guacamole, sour cream and a Tomato to make my own fajitas. They later brought some fried onions by then I only had one wrap left and a fair amount of chicken. I ate some of the onions and all the chicken.
My husband said the chicken Dede was okay, but it was lukewarm and they brought the wrong beer.
It came to £40.44 in Turkish lira 1,955.00.
Overall I've given them a four star."

"This restaurant was highly recommended and it certainly did not disappoint us. From the moment we arrived we were treated extremely well and the service was fantastic. The food was of a high standard and everything tasted exactly how if should. To accompany our food we had a bottle of the sauvignon blanc which very nice indeed."
