Fodor's Expert Review Nehir Çardak

Do you like dining by the water? How about virtually in the water? At this unique restaurant you eating in small thatched-roof pavilions on stilts over the Tigris River. The kitchen is actually in the water and the cook stands in front of the grill with his pants rolled up so they won't get wet. The menu is basic—grilled fish or köfte—but the rustic setting, the river flowing by, and the view of Hasankeyf's cliff are utterly relaxing and wonderful.
