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.

Me and my husband came to cafe dreams as a stop off point before finishing our shopping! We are so glad we did. The food is lovely and plentiful. We have an English breakfast which came with Tea or Coffee, the chips with chilli dip was an added bonus for €8. The beer was also the cheapest we had seen. The staff are lovely and welcoming. Would definitely recommend Cafe Dreams….. great work guys

We made a beeline for this restaurant as we had eaten there years before and wasn’t disappointed,
We had a testi kebab I think it was called and it was gorgeous, the wife had a huge strawberry daiquiri and all served with a smile and a laugh, they also have great Motown music playing whilst eating and seemed to be one of the most popular eateries at that time of day.
The only down side was the drunken Scottish people who were warned but not really the restaurant’s fault and as former publicans you get used to idiots.
We will return for lunch later this year.

Me and my family went out tonight for some food and shopping. The gentleman outside had tried to tempt us in on previous evenings, alas we had already eaten, we again were walking passed this evening and the gentleman outside successfully tempted us in, our only disappointment was that we didn’t go in before.
The service was excellent and the food was perfect. The potions are extremely generous. Me and my partner both tried some traditional meals, which the head waiter was more than happy to explain to us what they .
We ate like kings and queens for under £100
I would definitely recommend this place as in our opinion it is the best restaurant in the area.
A must visit.

The best place in Side!!!! The warmest welcome, no pushing for you to enter, no Turkish men letching over women and the best food. They were so lovely with families with young children and so attentive to everyone there. Family run business with the most amazing steaks! The Gorgonzola sauce was to die for! My whole family ate 2 courses and we had 6 large beers and the bill was only £100!! Honestly this place is not to be missed, we passed it on the way to another restaurant and the owner showed us trip adviser reviews and we knew instantly this was the place for us! It was the perfect end to our holiday and we wished that we had found it at the beginning. We would highly recommend!

A repeat visit to side and we tried more of the menu over the week we stayed. Highly recommend the omelettes they are delicious and they are amazing value for money too.
The staff are very friendly and attentive too and they don’t harass you like some of the other restaurants nearby.
If you want something to eat and drink and get great friendly service this is the place to go

I've been to many places in turkey over a good few years and Cafe Dreams Is right up there as a favourite. If you are just chilling out with a drink or having a meal I can't recommend it highly enough. The food is truly excellent. The service and presentation really professional. From crispy cheese rolls to artful looking cocktails or just a cold beer. The two front of house guys Niko and Faruk are great. It's not too big, the music is well put together and not too loud. Worth a visit any time of day. Easy to find; if you are looking at the front of the Jandarma station it's just a little way down to your left. Brilliant! Stewart.

Cafe Dreams in Side provides a welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxed meal. I enjoyed perfectly cooked shrimp with vegs that was absolutely delicious. The bar serves outstanding cocktails, and the lively environment, complete with a football game on TV, added to the enjoyment. With friendly service and a cozy ambiance, Cafe Dreams is the ideal spot for great food, drinks, and good times.

Probably the best value in Side. Also best drink selection that we have seen. Also the strongest cocktails. There are places that give you higher class food, but prices are near twice the price. Menu diversity and quality here are great! Wish we had come here earlier in our stay.

We were so happy to walk past all the other bars on the seafront and go in land by only one street and find this absolute gem. The staff are so friendly and willing to accomodate you. They are good for banter and the service they provide is 2nd to none! The menu is varied and the food is excellent. Price is very reasonable. Our children were cared for very well and we enoyed our first visit so much we went back a 2nd night during the holiday. They helped us with transport as were not staying in Side. On our 2nd visit the night was chilly and they provided blankets and did whatever they could to keep up comfortable. Would come back here again in a heartbeat! First class service and first class food and drink.

What an amazing cute little place!
The staff are amazing, they couldn’t do enough for you and they make you feel so welcomed.
We stopped for a couple of cocktails on the first night which by the way they make the best Pornstar Martini’s and frozen strawb daiquiris!!
They made our anniversary very special and one to remember!
The food was out of this world and not one bad word to say.
Cannot recommend this place enough! If you’re in side this place is a must.
A special thanks to Faruk, Niko & Sergio can’t wait to come back next year
