Cafe Rose is a fab place to have a nice, quiet romantic meal. Rose herself isn't what I'd describe as an old lady......maybe in her early 50's. Anyway, we were in
Icmeler on our honeymoon a couple of years ago and the pool boy/barman/handyman/crazy dancer at our apartments suggested we go there for a wee change. He gave us a note to give her which was in Turkish and we did so on our arrival. After a delicious meal, at very reasonable prices, she appeared with the bill and some lovely flowers for the new mrs magoo and wished us a happy honeymoon, which was obviously what the note had been about. What a wonderful touch. It's things like this that make the people of Icmeler so special.
And it really isn't that far out of the way....just keep walking up by the babadan aparts towards the old village, when you come to the crossroads at Mr chef and Ozzy's restaurants, head left and you will see signs for Cafe Rose on a couple of lamposts. It's well worth it. We've returned a couple of times since.
