Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Arrived looking for a safe place to park our bikes on a Sunday evening. A bored jaded waiter asked, rolling his eyes if he could take them for us, in a tone suggesting he had served 1000 more tourists than he could bear. Mistaking this,...momentarily as a kindness I quipped 'as long as you don't sell them' with a friendly chuckle. He rolled his eyes further remaining sullen. I explained we would like to eat on the terrace. "We don't serve food on the terrace". Having cycled past dozens of restaurants that did, I, somewhat bemusedly, asked "Why". It seems I had no right to ask this "Why?! Why?! It's dirty and all leaves there" he barked. So, the garden would be less leafy??. Having now thoroughly got his couldn't-give-a damn attitude, I surmised this was more likely to be laziness. He agreed! Unbelievable! Then proceeded to tell us to go away, he didn't like our attitude!. As we said last night. "HAPPY TO"More

We absolutely love this very relaxed riverside cafe/ restaurant. Family run son, mother (a delight) and auntie. They are so friendly and helpful ( the son, one day we were passing, rescued one of our group who got a puncture and returned his bike to...the shop on his quad bike). I’d suggest it’s a breakfast/ lunch venue or evening drinks- more cafe than restaurant. It’s quite bohemian feel, a bit ‘off the beaten track’ but beautiful location right next to the river under the trees. Salads, burgers and fish all recommended. Fresh orange juice, pancakes all delicious. Great to watch the boats go past and turtle spot. Def one of our favourite Dalyan spots.More

Most restaurants in Turkey were simply awesome - so, just in case I am reviewing another Riverside location, I hope my comments still fit. There may be some confusion among two or more "Riverside" terraces, as the sign I took a picture of shows "Riverside...Restaurant" rather than "Cafe". However, the place we have been to was on the main promenade by the river, on the opposite side of the pedestrian street, and it had this charming candle-lit tables and romantic terrace, right bt the little square dominated by the bronz statue of Attaturk. The service and food - teste and presentation included - was likely the best in Dalyan.More

Fantastic place, food lovely and reasonable. Tez could not do enough for our families, kept the kids entertained with magic tricks and even let the kids use the pool of the attached hotel. Tez also arranged a boat trip for us on our last day....So welcoming and friendly, can not recommend this enough. Our daughter is coeliac and he made sure he cooked her food accordingly and made her feel very comfortable. We will most definitely be returning. Many thanksMore

Me and my wife visited the Riverside Cafe for lunch as we passed it every day and thought we would give it a try. We ordered a pizza and a plate of chips and the pizza arrived cold and the chips had hairs on it.When...i complained to the bar man he was totally uninterested so we left immediately. I would not recommend this low quality bar to eat in from the experience me and my wife had.More

I visited the riverside cafe with my family in August 2019. We initially only went for a drink and i am glad that is all we did have here. The kitchen is right next to the toilets which are some what old and unhygienic. Whilst...i was walking to use these bathroom facilities i was aware of the cook who has just come out of the bathroom and subsequently not washed her hands ! This is not acceptable and i in the end didn't use the facilities paid the bill and then moved on to another establishment. This would be a perfect place to visit if only the place was modernised. There are wooden floor boards outside that are quite simply dangerous and an accident waiting to happen, my suggestion avoid this cafe/bar.More

Friendly and helpful bar staff. Good food and plenty of it. Don’t think that chips need accompany chicken stir fry or Turkish lamb stew when rice served. Otherwise lovely to sit by the river and listen to the good music playing.

Our first evening in Dalyan and we stumbled on this little gem for dinner. The menu is pretty varied from steaks to pizza and fish but we were looking for more traditional Mediterranean cuisine. The kofta was amazing and we also had grilled chicken kebab...and a lovely fresh shepherds salad which was huge. The pomegranate dressing was delicious. The service was welcoming and friendly and the setting is beautiful. Highly recommended!More

We had a couple of meals at the Riverside Cafe and we were not disappointed. Tez and his family made us...really welcome. He even gave my young granddaughter a knitted toy who we’ve named Tez.

Lovely small family run business. Food was very good, so good in fact this was the 1st meal in 10 days my youngest Ava had finished without complaint! Tez the owner will go out of his way to make you feel welcome, from making paper...flowers to tricks for the kids.

When we first visited, the food was delicious. The steaks were cooked to perfection, in a delicious peppercorn sauce. A beautiful location overlooking the river with boats cruising by. We decided to return for a second time, my sister had seafood pasta, which had a...hair in. (Easy mistake to make, but never the less a bit off putting.) It was also creamy, which it wasn't described as on the menu and I dont really like cream. One of the party had chicken, which was a bit dry and tasteless. Beautiful location - but maybe just for a drink.More

What an absolute gem of a place..beautiful setting a lovely friendly owner and waitress who didnt make you feel rushed . Chilled and relaxed vibe with lovely music (we had George Ezra playing!) beautiful surroundings and the food... well ... just excellent doesn't do the...4 dishes we had justice. From the absolute perfect & tasty steak( the best my daughter has ever had apparently !), and an abundance of traditional turkish meze starters that we shared with wholemeal bread , superb sea bass cooked to perfection , haloumi salad and feta pastry rolls and pomegranate dressing and chicken grilled and rice. .. great value too, was the best meal we've had to date in Daylan and we will be going back before we leave .More
