" Fine dining can only be done by addressing all five human senses "

According to Maître Hôtelier Tufan Baytan and his wife, Ekaterina, who are owners of Felicità, a newly-opened fine dining restaurant in the centre of Antalya, “Fine dining can only be done by addressing all five human senses: seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling and touching.”

Members and guests enjoyed the evening by SEEING thoughtfully-presented dishes in a chic, modern and warmly-decorated restaurant, HEARING carefully-selected live music, TASTING scrumptious flavours of international dishes served with awarded boutique wines, SMELLING the aromas of the food and wines and FEELING happy.

Tufan and Ekaterina say they do not eat to live, but live to eat. They recommend everybody to live as they do using the five senses to feel happy. It was for this reason that Felicità (Ed. the Italian for “happiness”) was chosen as the name of their restaurant.
