Fancy Supper in Bozcaada


Nina and I decided to go to one of the restaurants that overlooked the harbour. We ended up going to the first restaurant we saw called Yosun. The head waiter took very good care of us. We picked out our appetizers and the rest was a pleasant surprise. Two sea bass were brought out for our inspection and Nina had a nice glass of local white wine while I contented myself with a cold Efes beer. The appetizers which consisted of marinated peppers, aubergines, cured fish, and salad were brought out with fresh toasted bread. When the cooked fish arrived we were not sure how to eat it because everything was still attached (thankfully the head had been removed)! The waiters proceeded to dissect and remove all the unneccessary parts. We were quite impressed with the procedure! Afterwards we were presented with a lovely dessert of ice cream and what seemed to be a dessert couscous of brown sugar and cinnamon with nuts and raisins. To finish the fantastic meal we were given a small glass of Turkish coffee (strong stuff!) and a liqueur. The saucer had rose petals all around it and a mini rosebud was placed next to the cup. It was our most expensive meal here in Turkey, which still isn't expensive by Canadian standards, but it was absolutely worth it!

Mmm, cinnamon flavoured cous cous? Turkish coffee with rosebuds around it? Can you really place a price on such exquisite delicacies? Look forward to hearing what's on the menu tomorrow!
