Hotel Restaurant Ankara

The set menu came with drinks and several courses, and everything we tried was delicious. We started with chicken fajitas with cheese gratin and avocado toast, then chose between shredded beef in wine sauce with rustic potatoes and seafood pasta. Dessert was a generous, rich tres leches cake. The food was matched by excellent service: everyone was polite and attentive. The place itself is lovely and comfortable, with a pleasant atmosphere. Definitely a great spot to eat.

The live music added to the atmosphere, though at times it was so loud that conversation was difficult. The service was excellent and attentive. We ordered three executive menus: a fried fish appetizer, then a tomato and onion crepe. For mains, mine was steak with potatoes, while the others had baked salmon with sautéed vegetables and seafood. The dishes looked good and were fine overall, with the meal improving as it went along, but my main was too salty and the potatoes were undercooked, much firmer in the middle. The extra juices seemed bottled to me, and were the same as the executive-menu juice, just served in larger glasses. I've had better drinks at places with similar prices. The menu juice itself was perfectly acceptable. Dessert was just okay, keeping in mind it was an executive menu. I don't think I'd come back for à la carte.

We waited more than an hour for the food, and with so few choices available, just hake and conger eel, I wouldn't recommend it or return. The potatoes were only partly cooked and the fish had little flavor. The food wasn't awful, but the experience wasn't good.

The set menus were filling, and all three were very good. It wasn't the cheapest place, but we had an excellent experience thanks to how helpful everyone was.
