Frommer's Review

Hosts Selmin and Zafer Basak live in Paris, where they acquired a passion for fine food and good living. But instead of withholding their know-how, they've dedicated themselves to perfecting the dining experience at their Bodrum hotel and restaurant. Having already received accolades and a glowing review in the New York Times, the Antique Theatre's restaurant was recognized in 1999 by the Chaîne des Rotisseurs, the 58-year-old bastion of gastronomy.

Dinner is served poolside by candlelight or in the cozy dining room; poolside is best where the tables have been purposely arranged to take full advantage of the sparkling views of the city and of the castle. The aubergine (eggplant) boat filled with seafood and a Halicarnassus sauce simply whets the appetite, and just when you think you've had enough sea bass, it arrives in a sumptuous fennel-and-champagne sauce that leaves you begging for more.
