Aubergine

You can always count on having a great meal at Aubergine! Food delicious. Staff attentive. Vibes immaculate! Lovely warmth inside with heaters, Ibrahin is the top man for ensuring we are kept full with cold Efes and sigara boreks 👍👍👍👍

Good Food, Good Staff. Nice location looking over the habour 👌 Seafood pasta was very nice. The staff also did a firework brownie surprise for our boy! 🎆

Avoid. Visited to try the special offer cocktails at 350/400TL. End of the night was charged up to 595TL & discovered the special offer pricing had been wiped post admission. Far from ideal. Very disappointed & exceptionally unusual behaviour for Kalkan. Never again!!

If you’re wandering the charming streets of Kalkan and your stomach starts serenading you with the song of its people, Aubergine is the place to silence that growl. Nestled right by the harbour, this gem offers more than just a meal; it provides an experience that lingers longer than that garlic sauce you couldn’t resist.  Ambiance: Imagine dining with a front-row seat to the harbour’s dance, where boats bob gracefully, possibly plotting their next adventure. Whether you’re basking in the summer’s embrace or cozying up next to their trusty wood burner during the cooler months, Aubergine ensures you’re comfortable and content. Culinary Delights: Their menu is a delightful rendezvous between Mediterranean zest and Anatolian tradition. The daily catch is so fresh you’d think the fish negotiated its way straight from the sea to your plate. And the steak? Let’s just say it’s the kind of dish that might make a vegetarian reconsider (but we respect your choices). For those midday cravings, their pizzas and pides are the stuff of legends.   Service: The staff at Aubergine have seemingly mastered the art of being attentive without hovering. They’re the kind of folks who remember your name, your favorite drink, and perhaps even that embarrassing dance move you thought no one saw. Final Thoughts: Whether you’re a Kalkan regular or a first-time visitor, Aubergine offers a dining experience that’s both familiar and extraordinary. It’s where great food, impeccable service, and stunning views come together in perfect harmony. Pros: Stunning harbour views Diverse and delicious menu  Cozy ambiance with a wood burner for cooler nights Cons: You might develop unrealistic expectations for other restaurants Insider Tip: Reserve a table in advance, especially during peak season, to snag that perfect spot by the water.

One of the most expensive places to eat in Kalkan but the portions are huge and if you don't over order ( like we did) its still very good value. Free garlic bread and dips as a starter. Great views, great service and one of the best meals we had on our 10 day holiday. Will definitely return

Nice place by the port. I ate here twice. For breakfast I had the menemen and for lunch the humus and the katmer. The food was tasty and well presented. The staff were very attentive and helpful.

We’ve visited Aubergine a few times now and always experience wonderful service, delicious food (especially the moussaka) and reasonably priced drinks! Plus a beautiful view of the harbour in the sun

Three years ago when we were on our honeymoon we went to Aubergine. This year we went back with our little bebelu. It’s still a lovely place for dinner. The staff, ambiance, sights , food is just lovely. Especially the staff deserves top marks because they took care of all our needs.
