In winter, Sapanca takes on a whole different calm; the mist descending over the lake, snow on the pines, and the steam of a warm table... The cold season is the most poetic time for a dinner deep in nature.
Are Restaurants Open in Sapanca in Winter?
Yes. Mare Gastro welcomes guests in the garden of Didi Otel in winter too, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Winter offers the calmest and most striking version of being right by the lake, making the dinner experience even more special.
For those seeking a warm table amid nature in cold weather, you can check our lakeside location.
Where's the Best Place to Eat Right by the Lake in Winter?
In winter, this lakeside location turns into a picture through Mare Gastro's windows. An evening spent with a warm, careful menu against this calm side of nature is one of winter's most delightful rituals.
For those planning a peaceful dinner after snow and skiing at Kartepe, the lakeside is also an ideal stop. You can add our weekend route to your route.
Which Flavors Stand Out on the Winter Table?
Mare Gastro's kitchen follows the rhythm of the seasons; warm, hearty and carefully made plates stand out in winter. Creamy seafood, grills and warm starters accompany the cold weather.
You can see current seasonal options on our menu, and get to know our chef if you'd like.
Is a Reservation Important in Winter?
