What is the food and drink quality like at all-inclusive resorts and restaurants in Antalya, Turkey?

Turkish cuisine typically uses lemon or pomegranate juice instead of salt on most dishes — salads, lahmacun, and lentil soup are all doused in lemon. Fries come with salt, ketchup, and mayo.

The red drinks at the hotel buffet that look like lemonade are actually vegetable juices (like beet juice), not fruit drinks. The taste is very specific — fine for vegans/raw foodists, but others should sample cautiously.

Hotel beer wasn't great, and an ordered cocktail came out as a strange mix with added blue syrup — a disappointing result.

Among recommended buffet dishes: labne cheese (not strictly clean-eating, but tasty) and a second dish that's healthier and also good. Safe to try.

Overall hotel buffet food is mediocre — what's under the chafing dish lids often isn't what you expect, though you can find some tasty items. Fresh juice costs extra and isn't cheap.

DosBros restaurant gets praised for tasty food — portions are large enough to share between two people. Skip adding lemon to the dish, it doesn't work well with the flavor.
