Dinner With Shakespeare In Antalya

Today’s blog is all about the love of Shakespeare.

Shakespeares is termed as a bistro, it hosts both a restaurant and a bar. It is situated in Turkey and hosts venues all over the country. The one we visited was located in Antalya, which we came across on our summer holiday last year.

Shakespeares became our “go to” place; after we found this place we literally dined there all day, every day. Eating abroad can be funny for me, depending what oils or ingredients are used in the meal I can become unwell due to my IBS.

Whenever I am abroad I always like to go out to a different place each night and taste the local cuisine but in Antalya we stuck to Shakespeares constantly. We originally visited Shakespeares for dinner one night and it was just beautiful, it was also very romantic. The temperature was roasting, it had been a beautiful day, music was playing and the place was jumping. We had a candlelit dinner outside, letting us take in the real atmosphere of the venue. Shakespeares is such a welcoming place and the atmosphere was very lively plus Turkey is so cheap compared to our currency, which made the experience more enjoyable.



We had such a good time at Shakespeares we decided to go back the next morning and try the breakfast options and from then on we were hooked. It’s hard for everyone going abroad, you have to adapt to different temperatures and the different types of cuisine, and it can be hard to find something from the menu you like. The dinner menu was delicious but the breakfast menu was even better. I think I had pancakes for breakfast every time we visited. I was introduced to Turkish tea J; it became my favourite drink of the holiday.

Shakespeares has been established since 2001 and has ten venues opened, serving across Turkey. Over the week of our holiday we were lucky enough to meet the manager of the restaurant and he could not have been a truer gent. He looked after us and made sure we were satisfied with our food. He also told us Shakespeares likes to focus on the quality of the products served in the restaurant, ensuring the highest of customer satisfaction has been reached.

Shakespeares holds such happy memories for Mr Sk and I, it was our ‘date night/day” place of the holiday. Every day we had breakfast at Shakespeares before sunbathing all day and possibly going back for dinner at night, it was just perfect. Shakespeares was like my “go to”, I had finally found somewhere I could eat on holiday that wasn’t making me unwell.

It’s far to travel but if you ever visit Antalya make sure you have breakfast, dinner or both at Shakespeares.
