Culinarium

How to sum this place up as succinctly as possible: The grumpy old chef reluctantly serves you divinely delicious modern cuisine while you look over the Datça marina. In most cases I’d take off a star for the poor hospitality. But the food was just too good to do so, and made me realise that the grumpy chef may have just been a master at work.

"A Mesmerizing Dining Experience with Room for Improvement" Culinarium is a fine dining establishment that boasts a stunning roof terrace with an amazing view, setting the stage for a one-of-a-kind dining experience. The ambience is truly enchanting, making it an ideal spot for a memorable evening. The restaurant's rooftop terrace creates a delightful atmosphere, allowing guests to enjoy their meals while taking breathtaking views. The combination of fine dining and picturesque scenery undoubtedly sets this place apart. While the ambience and view are impeccable, the starters were amazing but the mains didn't quite reach the same level of perfection. My husband and I had lamb dishes, which was tough and chewy. Although the dishes were beautifully presented, some fell short in terms of taste and execution. This inconsistency was a bit disappointing, especially considering the otherwise enchanting setting. One area of improvement would be the attentiveness of the staff. The servers should be more proactive in checking if diners are enjoying their meals rather than waiting for the customer to ask. A more attentive approach would undoubtedly elevate the fine dining experience. In conclusion, Culinarium offers a captivating and unforgettable dining atmosphere, perfect for experience. And maybe we weren't lucky enough that day. With a touch of improvement in food quality and attentive service, Culinarium has the potential to be an absolute gem in the fine dining scene.

"Datça is a wonderful place. Chef Mehmet, Manager Ms. Deniz, and all the staff are focused on delivering great flavors. You must try their incredible dishes. You should also taste the wines made from grapes grown in Datça’s nature. Thank you Culinarium 🙏

incredibly beautiful and cozy place. The dishes here are very delicious and we were very pleased with the presentation. delicious wine, coupled with a view from the terrace, left a good impression of the place. also, a very nice and friendly waitress who prevented my friend from jumping off the roof.

Ordered the fillet of beef absolutely superb highly recommend this restaurant. Although off the beaten track so Google maps got a little confused. Very small place so can be missed.

Probably the best restaurant in Datca. Everything was delicious and service was impeccable. Prices were reasonable considering the quality of the dishes.

Simply the best food in Datça, Mugla and maybe even the world (for many years in a row). There are no compromises here - this husband and wife duo are perfectionists in every regard. Wait patiently in anticipation and savour every bite. We ate the finest cuts of meat and still paid an average price - by global standards. A happy customer of many years past and many more to come.

One of the most exciting ravioli I'd ever try. It was a gift to find this place in Datcha as I was looking for quiet spot with normal European menu and courses. The place is managed by cute German couple and be sure they know how to make you happy.

The best restaurant in Datça hands down. The owners are very friendly and they have a good wine selection.
