"The open buffet is dead. Long live the table service."
Let’s be honest: Standing in line with a plate in your hand, waiting for someone to refill the pasta tray, is not luxury. It’s a cafeteria. Real luxury is sitting down, unfolding a linen napkin, and having a chef prepare a dish specifically for you.
If you are tired of the "mass production" food culture, these 6 resorts are your sanctuary. They have revolutionized the all-inclusive concept by focusing on A La Carte excellence.
The List
- Maxx Royal Kemer: The "Azure Court" street offers flavors from Italy to Japan, all made-to-order. No buffets, just restaurants.
- Voyage Belek: Their "Cuisine 24" concept means you can get a perfectly plated steak at 3 AM.
- Rixos Premium Belek: Famous for its "Meat & Wine" restaurant. The dry-aged cuts are better than most steakhouses in Europe.
- Cullinan Belek: Their presentation (plating) is academically perfect. Visual gastronomy at its best.
- Barut Lara Collection: They champion the "Chef's Table" concept where local ingredients shine.
- Regnum Carya: A global tour of cuisines, from Brazilian Rodizio to Peruvian Nikkei, executed authentically.
Why This Matters?
Because your holiday time is precious. Don't waste it walking around a buffet. Let the service come to you.
