Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Family owned and women powered restaurant. You may easily enjoy with an economic menu and you may choose to go with alcohol and tapas. Meats are delicious. Vegetable based olive oil recipes are also great. Beer, wine and raki are also available. With the renovation it is also more gorgeous. Meatballs, meals with eggplant, deserts are highly recommended.

Best of Cafe Meltem, bademli tavuk, etli pazı sarması ve narlı limonata tercih ettik. Best of Cafe Meltem o gün yapılmış olan tüm zeytinyağlıları denemek için çok güzel bir seçenek oldu ve hepsi çok taze ve güzeldi. 3 kişi olduğumuz için normalde tabakta iki tane olan kabak çiçeği dolmasını 3’e çıkarttıkları için teşekkür ederiz. Bademli tavuğu denemenizi kesinlikle tavsiye ederim. Etli pazı sarma da pilavının biraz fazla olmasıyla birlikte güzeldi.

Datça Palamutbükü'nde gönül rahatlığıyla yemek yiyebileceğiniz yerlerden birisi... Palamutbükü nde işletmeler genellikle balık odaklı, ancak Cafe Meltem gibi butik alanlar müşterilere gerçekten iyi bir alternatif oluyor. 2 kez gittik. Her gittiğimizde farkli yemeklerini denedik. Hepsinin lezzeti yerindeydi. Servis esnasındaki temizlik ve pratiklikleri ayrı bir takdiri hak ediyor. Herşey ev yapımı ve sıcacık geliyor. Ev yemekleri konseptli ama siparişinize de yok demiyorlar. Nar, limon portakal suyu karışımlarını cok sevdim. Her gittiğimde 2 tane içtim. Porsiyon ve fiyat performansı noktasında bazı yemekler icin porsiyonlar arttırılmalı örneğin Yoğurtlama, sarma...

Cold starters and olive oil mezes have good taste. Overpriced like all places in Palamutbuku. Open section needs to be closed as all passing vehicles leaves dust.

We had great starters, very delicious homemade manti (with or without meat) and really great service. A cozy little place!
