Beef Béarnaise in Side — Steak with Béarnaise at Hawaii Restaurant & Bar

Beef Béarnaise at Hawaii Restaurant & Bar in Side old town is a 200 gr steak served with vegetables and potatoes, cooked over our real wood fire and charcoal grill. It's a classic French-style pairing of grilled beef and béarnaise, on the menu daily from 10:00 to 02:00 in the heart of Side.

What Beef Béarnaise is at Hawaii

Béarnaise is one of the great French steak partners — a warm, buttery sauce built around tarragon, meant to sit alongside a good piece of beef and lift every bite. At Hawaii Restaurant & Bar we serve it the honest way: a 200 gr steak, plated with vegetables and potatoes so it lands as a complete plate rather than something you have to build up with a pile of sides.

The steak is grilled over our real wood fire and charcoal grill, the same fire we've cooked on in Side old town since 2000. Charcoal and wood give beef something a flat pan never can — a proper seared crust, a little smoke, and that unmistakable grill aroma that reaches the table before the plate does. We work with fresh ingredients brought in daily, so the beef, the vegetables and the potatoes all show up as they should.

How we serve it

Straightforward and generous: 200 gr of grilled beef, vegetables and potatoes on the plate, with the béarnaise doing the talking. There's no need to over-explain it — this is a steak-and-sauce plate, cooked over fire, sized to satisfy without leaving you unable to move.

Tell your server how you'd like the beef cooked when you order — rare, medium, well done, it's your call, and the grill does the rest. If you're new to ordering steak by doneness, our steak cooking levels guide spells out exactly what each stage looks and feels like, and our steak sauces explained post walks through where béarnaise sits among the classics.

Who it's for and when to order it

Beef Béarnaise is for the steak lover who wants something a step beyond a plain grilled cut — a little richness, a little French polish — without turning dinner into a production. It suits a relaxed dinner in the old town, a two-person date where you both want a proper main, or the night you've walked past enough all-inclusive buffets and finally want a steak cooked to order.

Order it in the evening when the grill is in full swing and Side's old streets are lit up. It's an easy centrepiece if you're comparing steaks across the table — one person on the béarnaise, another on something from our wider steakhouse selection in Side. If you're weighing your buffet against a night out, our take on all-inclusive vs eating out in Side makes the case better than we can here.

What to drink with it

A grilled steak with a buttery sauce wants a drink with a bit of backbone. From our bar, a glass of Kavaklıdere Yakut — a Turkish red — is the natural match, its structure standing up to the beef and cutting the richness of the béarnaise. Prefer white? Çankaya is the crisp Turkish option. If beer is more your speed, a cold Efes or Corona keeps things simple and refreshing.

Feeling like a proper night out? Start with our signature Blue Hawaii or a frozen daiquiri before the steak arrives, or wind down with a rakı the local way. Kids at the table get their own alcohol-free kids cocktails, so nobody's left out. For the full pour, see our Turkish wine guide and the story behind our Blue Hawaii signature cocktails.
