Gamirasu Cave Hotel: Upscale Hotel Dining

by nicolaitan

Guests at the Gamirasu Cave Hotel have few dinner options. The one restaurant in the Ayvali village is owned by a relative of the hotel owner and offers a full dinner with limited menu. Free shuttle service to Urgup is available from the hotel for those who wish to dine locally, an offer we accepted gratefully. However, for most guests, the hotel is the only game in town. Each night a full dinner is offered in the cave dining room, complete with fresco, with multiple courses for a fixed 16Eu price with soup, salad, entree, and dessert and coffee or tea. All the food is locally produced and the menu changes nightly. The offerings are traditional Turkish - on our visit, the entree was the ubiquitous chicken kebabs. Most every guest eats here. The food as we recall was very good but strangely unmemorable - not unlike most hotel restaurants we visit, we find it difficult to remember exactly...

Kervan Restaurant: Good Food in a Linoleum Setting

by nicolaitan

In a search for a good modest meal, we stumbled into the Kervan Restaurant and shared a very good salad and a surprisingly thincrust pide with a tasty cheese most different from the typical bland mozzarella covering most American pies. A total language barrier prevented us from learning which cheese this was, but we were most pleased.Decor is limited to faux wood panelling, linoleum, and a few pictures. Service is very friendly and the bathrooms are clean and supplied. Only after returning, we learned from the internet the Kervan is well known locally as the place for fresh fish dishes with daily deliveries from the Mediterranean as well as clay pot specialties and stuffed pancakes. Sadly, the menu ( and the website ) are in Turkish only and the staff similarly was not versed in English. Prices were modest, making this restaurant a likely choice for dining.For dessert, there are at least...

Somine Restaurant: Better Quality Dining in Urgup

by nicolaitan

Urgup has several better quality restaurants with Somine always included in the short list. The name is derived from the French word for fireplace and indeed there is a strking carved fireplace in the center of the dining area. This is tablecloth dining with competent uniformed servers, indoors in the winter and on a large patio actually the roof of a row of stores in the summer. The menu is extensive although the translations to English may be misleading. Lemon chicken is not the usual Western dish, but rather chicken fried in a cream sauce with lemon flavoring. Most dishes are traditional Turkish, with salads and manti for appetizers, a selection of pizzas mostly with meat and cheese but with a vegetarian option, and a long list of entrees. The specialty is baked dishes in clay pots ( kiremits ) with vegetarian, lamb, and even local trout options. Along with the usual kebabs, there are...

Soganli Cappadocia Restaurant: Unanticipated Excellence Award for Cappadocia

by nicolaitan

This unpretentious touristic restaurant set in an apple orchard on the banks of the stream in Soganli village was our most pleasant culinary surprise. Its very few internet reference are mostly unfavorable, but we had an excellent meal here. In appropriate weather conditions, dining is outdoors in the orchard. The delightful mountainous setting can be appreciated on the first image. On a relatively chilly day we ate indoors in a barrel vaulted dining room. The restaurant was expecting a bus load of Israeli tourists later in the day, but we were alone here and welcomed and treated well. Was the food so good simply because we had been on the road since early morning and hiking through the Soganli Valley? Perhaps, but even in retrospect this was very good food served in reasonable amount and not the typical huge plates of food we had come to expect.Lunch started with a choice of soups - the...

Hanodasi Restaurant: Manti in a Cave Restaurant

by nicolaitan

This excellent restaurant is housed in two large cones originally used as the refectory for a monastery. Most everything is made in-house, from the superb breads to the manti, the specialty of the house. The all-Turkish menu is fairly extensive ( the website is also only in Turkish). The decor is pure cave, the service friendly, and the food very good. Hanodasi is a favorite stop for private tour guides and also serves as a cooking school for tour groups taking culinary tours of Turkey with hands on lessons. We began with lentil soup which was rich and spicy, followed by the manti specialty, P with a yogurt sauce and mine with a meat sauce. This was our first introduction to manti, the equivalent of ravioli but smaller and shaped by hand. All accompanied by the usual great salad. As was becoming usual, we passed on dessert. Located outside of the village, this is a nice choice for lunch...

Sofra Restaurant: Inexpensive & very good local food in Ürgüp

by BorneoGrrl

After a day exploring Cappadocia, we asked our guide for a good place to eat in Ürgüp and he took us to his friend's restaurant. Feeling skeptical at first, I was in for a pleasant surprise. It's a family style restaurant that serves good & inexpensive Turkish food. I've been told that locals come here to eat so that's a good sign. The restaurant is small & doesn't have any fancy decorations but what counts is the quality of food & friendly service. The owner, Volkan, is a young man who speaks good English so you won't have any problems ordering from the menu. There are a number of typical Turkish items on the menu ranging from lamb, beef, chicken to bread dishes. They also serve nice local Cappadocian wine and raki. At the end of dinner, the friendly owner served the customary apple tea & chatted with us. The meal was so good that I ate here twice in the 2 nights I was in Cappadocia....
