Food & drink

Side Star Beach’s All Inclusive Plus concept keeps dining varied and easy. The main buffet restaurant lays on breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks with show-cooking stations and plenty of choice for younger palates. In the evenings, you can rotate between three à la carte venues on set nights – a rooftop Italian trattoria, an atmospheric Ottoman restaurant serving Turkish favourites, and a seafront fish restaurant right by the beach.

Smart-casual dress codes are in place in many venues (no beachwear; long trousers for gentlemen at dinner). Reservations for à la carte restaurants are required and are usually limited to one visit per restaurant per week, subject to availability.

Drinks are well covered with a lobby bar, pool bar, late-night Green Bar and a dedicated beach bar, serving a range of local wine, beer, spirits, cocktails, hot drinks and soft drinks for at least 12 hours a day as part of the All Inclusive Plus offering.
