This restaurant is just a little step up from the rest in terms of food, presentation and decor. Like many of the local restaurants they offer a large menu. Balloon bread and dips FOC and the offer of a lift home.....we declined the latter as a table of 11 had just come in. Overall a good meal and we would... More

Arrived today, and because food has always been so wonderful, felt we should give The Mercan a visit for our first meal. We knew it would be good, but wow, a new chef from Istanbul has been employed and I can honestly say I have never had such a good meal in our area. I had Sea Bass with vegetables... More

There were 10 of us and we all had wonderful meals. Most of us had 3 courses and I have to say that the desserts here are the best! You get such large portions! The service was brilliant, the setting under the grape vines was lovely and I can thoroughly recommend this restaurant, you will not be disappointed.

We shared a beautifully presented bbq grilled halloumi starter which came with several generous slices of cheese. Next up, we received a complimentary lavash bread and a... More

We ate here twice in June and loved it. The owner came over and welcomed us back to the Mercan, even remembering where we had previously sat and what we had ordered, now that's service! The steak cooked on the oak is the best ever and the hubby's sultan chicken was perfection. Lovely people, great food and lovely pleasant surroundings,... More
