Welcome Jayne
There are so many places to choose from my favourites, are the florida (lovely food) at top of canal, Dreamboys, Venice & Majestic on canal great food and entertainment, also Mitos on canal does lovely food too, also have Waterboys, Vinces, and loads more I guess you'll find lots when you get there and come home with your own favourites and probably want to go back to try some more the next year
Re prices I can't really remember but I guess it can vary.
You will no doubt get lots more information from other members.
Happy holidays
Andrea

Hi Jayne,
Can't remember the prices exactly but for a family of 4 eating 2 to 3 coarses and drinks most of the night we were paying between £30 - £40. Also, we had a good exchange rate at the time of going.
Try going to a different restaurant each night for the 1st week as they all have different offers on, you will soon decide which one is your favourite. We had great food in Dreamboys and Charlies but it didn't matter where you ate, its all good food and value for money compared to the UK.
You have to try their traditional dishes - beautiful.
Hope you have a good holiday
Cheers John

Hi and welcome Jayne
Don't worry about the bugs , no one could be as bad as me and am fine over there
Sue didn't tell you that she'd enlarged the pic and the bug's only the size of a pinhead really ha ha
Am sure you'll have a great time
there are also lots of pide places that do kebabs or pizzas for a few lira if you really want to save the dosh - they're fab and our kids love firing off and having tea there on their own while we get ready. it's so hot they aren't too hungry so it suits all of us just fine

Hi Jayne It didn't quite fit Fannys description as being the size of a pinhead Ha Ha Put it this way My friend took the photo and she is not exactly bug crazy but he was quite sweet and he fascinated her, she chased him round the balcony to get that photo! Scared him half to death 
As to cockroaches. Only seen one, unlike Spain which was heaving with them! Yuk!

we've only seen the one cockroach in Icmeler a few years ago - just on the road and not our apart or a restaurant!!
am not the fittest of folk, but my 500 yd dash would've made lunchbox lynden proud
i avoid Tenerife like the plague, only been once and there were hundreds of the little beggars

poor you Jayne
went to Tenerife and there was a massive one in the bathroom that only seemed to appear when I went to the loo in the middle of the night, I screamed the place down [pathetic i know
]
my much braver friend used to live there and reckoned the best way to sort them was to flip them on their back. there it was, breakdancing for a few hours - awful
usually get over to Lanzarote once a year and touch wood, haven't come across any

you've found the best cure by far Jayne - going to Icmeler, and bet you don't see any
