Where to Eat in Goreme: The Best Restaurants and Bars

February 22, 2018 Karren Gelb

A town literally carved into the volcanic rock, Goreme is the gateway to the Goreme National Park, a vast UNESCO World Heritage Site that houses spectacular 10th- and 11th-century cave churches. The park itself is known for its chimney rock formations and is very popular with backpackers. It’s also a great area to sample Turkish cuisine and wine.

Well, maybe more room. The restaurant is small and can be crowded with young hungry people. But the staff can handle it and the kitchen works at full speed. Good good in the pide-lahmacun genre and very cheap. At all that in the village centre.

My partner and I came here nearly everyday we stayed in Cappadocia. The staff were very friendly and helpful and accommodating. The menu is extensive and also very affordable, with lots of delicious vegetarian options which was great! It’s a great spot to just hang out and relax even just for a drink or shisha. We were even treated to a free dessert!

Reviewed By veronika_11019 - Clitheroe, United Kingdom

We recently spent 5 nights in Cappadocia; the weather was getting cold and we did have some snow, we needed a place to eat in the evenings and also a bolt hole for the afternoons when we just needed a coffee; check our emails and to get warm; this was the perfect place, very good food, not pushy, good coffee, great staff and you didn't feel like you had to hurry, in fact we spent several hours there; just watching the man making the bread was a good experience; very clean too. We would highly recommend, they are building a extension which is a good sign and we wish them well for the future; thanks you for looking after us during our stay.

Seten Anatolian Cuisine

Bringing you the quintessential Anatolian Cousine in a magical setup among the fairy-chimneys and the Valleys of Göreme. Indoors as well as outdoors dining option with live Turkish music on select days.

Reviewed By Taha S - Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

No one was available to welcome at the enterance, I got an impression that all staff was busy because restaurant was crowded. The food was over priced and taste was average. Serving time was good but I had to ask them several time for bread and when they served that it was cold like a rock. So I didn't ask them again because by that time my meal also got cold.
I can't recommend this restaurant to anyone. They should focus on there staff organization, and greet people with smiling faces.

A friend recommended Topdeck to us and we were not disappointed! Our waiter, Solim, was fantastic and extremely helpful in tailoring the menu choices to accommodate a celiac (gluten free) diet. We ate a wonderful plate of appetizers, including hummus, salads, grape leaves, and other traditional Anatolian mezzes. Our main dishes -- the stuffed chicken breast and beef saute -- were delicious and authentically flavorful. In addition, the experience of dining while reclining on cushions, as well as the cozy and warm atmosphere of the cave, will make any meal here unforgettable.
Solim, her şey için çok teşekkürler ve ellerinize sağlık! I'm sorry I didn't post our group photo -- I just don't feel comfortable posting photos of myself/friends publicly on this site, but please send me a message if you would like a copy!
I highly recommend the Topdeck!

Extremely friendly service and DELICIOUS food at this family run restaurant. The lovely staff provided us with complimentary rice, salad, tea, and bread (fresh from the oven!). Food is phenomenal.
