Is the food quality at Turkish all-inclusive hotels good — and are à la carte restaurants worth it?
Based on 1 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 3 days ago
TL;DR
Food at Turkish all-inclusive hotels is often disappointing: buffets are repetitive, and à la carte restaurants frequently serve the same dishes as the buffet with long wait times.
What the community said
A visit to an à la carte restaurant at a well-rated hotel turned out to be a letdown: the wait for food was very long, and most dishes served were identical to what's on the buffet. They ended up rushing to the buffet before it closed just to eat properly. Not going back to à la carte.

Breakfast at the hotel has decent variety but poor quality: pastries are bland, butter tastes like margarine, cheeses are all similar and very salty, and cold cuts are unappetizing. Quality has noticeably declined compared to a previous visit.

After complaints about food quality, the hotel admitted problems and replaced the head chef. Food improved slightly, but many dishes remain unappetizing. Sushi rolls were the only unusual item over 6 days but were inedible. A complimentary à la carte dinner was offered as compensation — nothing impressive, not worth paying for. However, beach pizza is genuinely good. Expect a long wait for gözleme at the beach stall — the elderly cook works slowly.
