What to do in Göcek | Dining

There are a few favourites where we dine when we can get ourselves away from our terrace. We love the 'kitschiness' of Kebab Hospital, run by Murat.





At the Kebab Hospital we particularly enjoy the wood oven bread, that one scrapes on home-made butter and goat cheese.  Since first travelling to Göcek in 2004 we have seen the Kebab Hospital grow from a small restaurant on the main street (one only main street) to now extending to the esplanade area. The service is friendly and professional and we have watched some of the young men who work there expand their English language skills, putting our Turkish language skills, or lack thereof, to shame.

We did read that incorrect spellings or play on words such as "Kebab Hospital" (which is meant to be  Hospitality) is a strategic marketing tool - it worked -  attracting us there for the first time because we had to come home and tell family and friends that we had been to a "Kebab Hospital".
