What is the food like at all-inclusive hotels in Turkey?

Breakfast includes eggs prepared various ways, yogurts, cereals, rolls, pancakes, and various toppings. The snack bar hot line offers spaghetti with tomato sauce, chicken kebab or turkey steak, french fries, onion rings, and self-assembled burgers. Gözleme with cheese is also made, though the filling is cheap and not particularly tasty. The cold line has greens, vegetable salads, pickled cabbage, and whole fruits (oranges, apples, pears).

The food selection is fairly limited: chicken and turkey in various preparations dominate, beef appears rarely and only as braised stew. White fish with small bones is served regularly; grilled sea bass is excellent but infrequent. Lightly salted red fish at breakfast is very rare. Side dishes are rice, pasta, and spaghetti every day. Desserts are mostly semolina-based, and baklava is made only with walnuts.

A second restaurant, open for dinner only, has a children's corner with a standard selection: potatoes, pasta, sausages, nuggets, vegetables, fruits, and a couple of dessert options. Boiled dietary food is also available there.

Food is generally fine if you choose wisely — boiled chicken, stewed and fresh vegetables, and omelettes are always available. Avoid spicy salads and mixing too many dishes at once to prevent stomach issues.

Breakfast options are limited for those used to European fare — no porridge, pancakes, or cottage cheese casseroles. Soups are Turkish-style only, and meat is rarely served as a whole piece. Desserts are mediocre overall, but Turkish sweets and ice cream are good.

Food is tasty and not overly spiced. Fish is always available and well-prepared. Beef appears two to three times a week, tandoor lamb occasionally. Two soup options daily. Desserts include cakes, cheesecakes, nut pastries, and several types of baklava. A Turkish Night dinner happens once a week, with occasional themed evenings.

The spread is wide: two soups daily, various meats (chicken, turkey, beef), and sides including rice, bulgur, fries, baked and stewed potatoes, mashed potatoes, and chickpeas. Also pizza, pide, several pasta types, stuffed vegetables, eggplant, zucchini, baked tomatoes with cheese, grilled meats, fish patties, and fresh salads.
