Best dishes to try at restaurants in Antalya, Turkey — what to order and where?

At an à la carte restaurant, grilled salmon and lamb were both excellent. The hot chocolate cake for dessert is a must-try based on a local tip. Skip the flatbread — it's not worth it.

Turkish lokanta (canteen-style eateries) tend to cook with a lot of oil — not for everyone. Fine as an occasional experience, but best limited to once or twice per trip rather than daily.

Testi (meat slow-cooked in a sealed clay pot) varies dramatically between restaurants — mediocre in one place, outstanding in another. Worth trying at more than one spot before writing it off.
