When budgeting a birthday in Sapanca, weigh what a venue offers alongside its price. Here is Mare Gastro's menu structure, dishes suited to a celebration table and how booking works. Updated 24 October 2026.
Quick Answer: How Much Does a Birthday Dinner Cost in Sapanca?
It depends on the number of guests, the dishes, drinks and any cake or decoration requests. Mare Gastro has no fixed birthday package: you order from the à la carte menu, and current dish-by-dish prices are on the digital menu. Cake and decoration are planned separately when you book.
Menu Options for a Birthday Table
| Course | Good choices for a celebration (October 2026) |
|---|---|
| Sharing starters | Beetroot Borani, Carrot Tarator, Spicy Atom Dip with Potato Chips, Hummus, Cheese Plate |
| Warm small plates | Trio of Seafood Delights, Fried Calamari, Buttered Shrimp |
| Main courses | Mare Special Meagre Fish, Beef Tenderloin in Pepper Cream Sauce, Lamb Chops, Crispy Salmon |
| Desserts | A Walk in the Forest, Circassian Cheese Cheesecake, Crispy Pumpkin Dessert, Mare Şekerpare |

For larger tables, ordering starters and warm plates to share and choosing mains individually balances both the budget and the flow of the evening.
What Determines the Price?
- Number of guests: the biggest factor in the total.
- Dish choice: seafood and red meat mains raise the bill.
- Drinks: wine, rakı and cocktails are charged separately.
- Cake and decoration: confirmed separately when booking.
- Season: the menu is updated with the seasons.
How Are the Cake and Decoration Arranged?
When booking, share the number of guests, the date and your cake or table decoration request; the details are finalised with the team. Guest reviews mention this care:
"We came for dinner on my wife's birthday. Being at the table looked after by our waiter Muhammed added as much to our evening as the food did. We chose the chef's interpretation dishes and have no regrets at all."

Birthday evenings can also come with live music — here is one of the live music nights on the Mare Gastro stage.
