Eating out is so much more that just ‘eating’.
It’s an opportunity to sit and savour a relaxing meal. No pressure, a selection of options to choose from (no staring into the fridge wondering what to have for dinner), your meal served to you and no dreaded washing up afterwards – time for a quality evening with loved ones or friends, or both.
The Yakamoz Hotel Restaurant offers all of the above and so much more…
The Yakamoz Restaurant
The restaurant consists of an indoor area, very traditional in appearance with a log fire for those chillier autumn evenings. For the hot summer evenings, there is a outside terrace shaded with vines.
Owner, Mehmet Güven, is justifiably proud of the menu, which is essentially Turkish mixed with some international cuisine. Many of the dishes are unique to the Yakamoz and every year, award-winning chef, Kenan creates new dishes to add to the menu. The restaurant also caters for vegetarians.
Browse the menu at your leisure. When you’ve made your choice, your server for the evening will take your order.
Can I take your order?
I’d like the Somon (Salmon) Fume to start.
Somon Fume – pieces of smoked salmon marinated with dill (fresh and seeds), served on orange slices and topped with sour cream.
Followed by Garlic Mustard Steak
Garlic Mustard Steak – fillet steak spread with garlic, mustard and thyme, pan fried and topped with slices of fried tomatoes.
For dessert, I’ll have the Sticky Toffee Pudding
Stick Toffee Pudding – with hot toffee and walnut sauce.
Yakamoz recipes revealed
If you enjoyed your meal but fancy eating in for a change, here are the genuine Yakamoz recipes for you to make it yourself. If you’ve ever watched a professional chef at work, you’ll know they rarely measure anything as they work by taste. If there isn’t a quantity against an ingredient, we suggest you start small and add to taste.
