The Marina Restaurant.Each of the 3 main restaurants had pretty much the same food as each other although I would say the Residence Restaurant was the quietest and had the least option (although still plenty!!) and this was totally indoors. The village restaurant was where we ate for breakfast & most lunch times until the Marina restaurant opened the 2nd week we were there. The most choice was at the Marina restaurant for lunch & dinner and this was all outside whereas the Village restaurant had part indoors & part outdoors. You could smoke in all the outdoor areas and depending on how full the resort is depends on which restaurants are open as the 2nd weeks we were there they closed the Village one for the evenings but opened up the Marina one (which we preffered due to the choice, scenery, etc)
You could always find a table, we never had any problems there. If you can't find one you just ask a waiter and they'll find you one to sit at. We found that going at the beggining of the mealtime was better as you can get a choice of table and all the food is at it's best, freshest etc although the chefs behind the self service pods you walk around were cooking more throughout. If you go at the end of the mealtime you can also easily get a table but I found some of the more popular food was finished or wasn't quite as fresh by the time you got to eat it.............on saying that you will never go hungary at Lykia World!
The Village restuarant seemed to be open the most and I shall list the times below for the mealtimes. The funny thing was though is that it took us about an hour every morning to get us all up, showered, sun creamed up & dressed before we even left the room. So we'd wake up about 8.30am / 9.30am, we'd then walk to the village restaurant and be sat down for breakfast around 10.00am-10.30am. By the time you have got your drinks and put them on the table and walked around filling up your plate and sat down with that it would be around 11am - 11.30am before we got up to start the day!! Then before you knew it you were eating again!!! lol

And the desserts OMG they had so many little bite sized desserts that you would put about 6+ on a plate as you just had to try them, coconut one's, chocolate, nutty, strawberry, sponge cakes, so so many desserts! Some in little glasses & some in ramakin dishes likes chocolate mouse etc, various sauces like chocolate & vanilla, an ice cream & cornet section that again, the kids looked forward to as they'd get 2 or 3 scoops a time of various flavours, lol.
They have 2 Children's Restaurants
The Children's Lykie Village Restaurant, which you can access from the main Village restaurant was open at lunch times from 12pm and again at 6pm. Our 4 year old daughter ate in here most days with the kids club and they had little child sized table & chairs / benches and lower and smaller child sized help-yourself to food area so that the children could actually access them easily. They served child friendly food here like spaghetti, rice, chips, mashed potato, burgers, chicken, bolognaise, salad, carrots, peas, baked beans etc. This restaurant was indoors whereas the other Children's Lykie Restaurant was up in Children's Paradise where my 8 year old Son who was in another kids club for his age group ate every lunch time and then they joined the younger age group for meals at dinner time in the vilage children's restaurant.
They both had plenty to eat in both the children's restaurants. The good thing with these was that they opened earlier than the main restaurants so you could get them fed & changed then take them to the kids club in the evenings for the disco, kids bingo, cinema time etc whilst you ate your meal in peace without having to rush etc which was just lush!!!
5 Speciality Restaurants
They also have 5 specialist restaurants where you pay a little extra per person, we never had to book in advance whilst we were there but I guess you might have to when they are at their busiest at height of the season. There opening hours were 19:00 - 22:00, apart from the Teppanyaki which opened at 19:30

We tried the Neptune, Kapai Teppanyaki, Blue Buddah & Sofra restaurants.
The neptune was lovely as you were sat by the infinity type pool, all of this area is for adults only which was quite nice. It was a set menu and the service was fantastic. It got a little chilly so they bought out pashmina's for everyone which mainly the women were grateful for. The food there was lovely and the soft drinks (coke, sprite etc), Beer & House Wine were free....you just paid for anything else like wine's, mixers, cocktails etc. You have to try the chocolate dessert! Wow........a hot sponge like dessert with hot melted chocolate inside...Mmmmmmmmm.
Blue Buddah was very nice too, we really couldn't fault any of them. They bring out one course and then another & another it's fab! We didn't stay for dessert at this one as we were so full, lol. You were given chop sticks to eat which was fun but Hubby had to ask for a knife & fork half way through, PMSL.
We ate at Sofra the Turkish Restaurant on their Turkish Themed night which was outdoors & had a live band on then a belly dancer with a long sword who then got you dancing around with her & the children got up on the dance floor with her to learn a routine which was great fun. You get small plates on your table, which are for your starters & this is all buffet style. Funny thing was we thought it was your main course so we had our plates piled high, little did we know you were suppposed to go up a 2nd time to get your large plate for the main course so we must have looked like right pigs that night! (No we didn't go back up, only for desserts lol)
The best of them all had to be Kampai in the Teppanyaki section where you sit up on stools at a table over looking the Village pool & the sun set beyond which was just stunning. You have your own Chef who cooks your meal in front of you with big whofs of flames and puts on a little show for you. He was very nice, we had a nice chatt with him and OMG the food was just out of this world, totally melt in your mouth. We had King Prawns, Special Fried Rice, Tuna Steak, Chicken, Fillet Steak and more then the yummiest dessert ever! This was truely the best meal that I have ever had, we thouroghly enjoyed the whole experience and watching our children next door on the dance floor doing the kids disco was nice to see as they couldn't see us! lol Honestly worth every penny & more!
