On the last night in Goreme, I went to three restaurants in a row, but they were all full, so I had to rush in. Sedef was also full. Maybe we were lucky. The waiter said that a table was paying the bill, so we waited for 5 minutes before we were seated.
The clay pot beef was OK, better than the Turkish Ravioli Restourant. Turkish grilled fish has no taste, I always stay away from it, but my cat-born friend eats it every meal. Most Turkish lamb chops are OK, and this one is also OK. The grilled chicken wings are not good in color, but the taste is OK. The cheese mushrooms are delicious. The bread in their house is very good when dipped in the gravy of the clay pot beef.
How to say it, in fact, the chicken wings, lamb chops and so on taste similar to those grilled in China. The taste of the clay pot beef is nothing special. Meat lovers, come here to eat, generally will not step on thunder, but will not want to eat it a second time.
The service is still good, very enthusiastic. It's just that our seat is close to the toilet, sometimes it smells a bit.
5 dishes and 4 drinks cost 353 lira in total, and the drinks were about 15.
This is the restaurant we found ourselves. The environment is very good, not many people, and the price is very reasonable. The waiter introduced the food enthusiastically. The clay pot beef is delicious. It is a specialty of Cappadocia.

When you come to Goreme to take a hot air balloon ride, you must come to Seten Anatolian Cuisine in the Sultan Cave to eat this roasted lamb. The old man roasted it in a big oven, and it was really delicious. My little fan and I couldn't forget it and ate it again tonight. We were so full!
The restaurant is located in a B&B hotel on the slope of Goreme town. The B&B environment is unique. The dining environment is good both indoors and outdoors at night. The various spaces are relatively large. The outdoor bar overlooks the night view of the town. The dining is in the restaurant upstairs. The service staff is professional and thoughtful. There are live performances. The dishes are relatively exquisite. The price is a little expensive, but it is quite suitable. After all, the service and environment are good. The clay pot meat will be performed on the spot. The special lamb ordered is stewed soft and delicious. The desserts are also unique. In short, it is worth recommending.

A very hidden small restaurant, located on an uphill path, like an alley. Fortunately, there is a map to help. It can be regarded as a cave restaurant. The overall characteristics are very unique. The small store has ordinary seats and ground seats. Tourists from all over the world make it very lively. Various languages gather in the air, but there is only one theme, that is, happiness.
The dishes are very "rustic" and homely. In fact, just an appetizer bread + soup + salad is already very fulfilling. The staple food is various meats with rice. Chicken Main Dish. The chicken is topped with curry sauce. The taste is fresh and tender. It is more flavorful, but the rice cannot be compared with our domestic Baklava is too sweet. You can add ice cream, which should be able to neutralize it. There is also a dough-like skin wrapped in beef-flavored soup, which tastes slightly lighter.
The business opens at 5 pm. Credit card payment is accepted. The exchange rate is more friendly. This is definitely a more cost-effective choice in Turkey than withdrawing lira in cash.
The restaurant was transformed from the owner's own cave. It used to be a stable. The niche on the wall is where the horse grass is placed. There is a small hole next to the niche, which is used to tie the horse. It is very interesting.
The food is also very delicious. It is the first Turkish dish I have eaten in the past few days. We ordered a 7-course mixed appetizer, a beef main course, a soup, and drank traditional Cappadocia red wine.
I recommend this restaurant. It is only open at night, so please make an appointment in advance.

Old Cappadocia Cafe & Restaurant
A highly recommended restaurant in Goreme. I came here last time and chose this place for my first meal this time. The beef skewers and PiDE here are highly recommended (the beef and cheese ones are both good). The squid rings are not delicious, too greasy, and the one in Fethiye is unmatched.
We ordered a mixed salad, pork steak with mushroom sauce and two local beers. The food was very tasty and delicious. The price was reasonable. We were very happy with the food. There were many potato dishes with various flavors and lots of cheese on them. Some came with sauce (like sausages with onion sauce), not sure if the sauce had cheese or not. Very tasty and filling. The waiter was great and helpful. The menu was in English.

Kale terrasse restaurant had a big meal, with the legendary clay pot beef, clay pot lamb, Raki, Local win, special pizza, iron plate meat and many other dishes that you can’t name, all of which were devoured by everyone, and the taste was absolutely amazing!
In fact, we came to Cappadocia mainly to see its unique landforms, not to eat. Well, their so-called clay pot meals are just average, but it is still quite interesting to eat in the cave.

Hello, today I would like to recommend another delicious restaurant in Cappadocia, Turkey. Or the city of balloons.
This restaurant is called Cappadocia Cuisine.
Location: Aydınlı, Uzundere Caddesi, Orta Mahalle No:17, 50180 Merkez/Nevşehir, Turkey
Or you can type the name of the restaurant and go straight. It's not hard to find.
We went to this restaurant in December. The weather was quite cold, but we wanted to sit outside and shiver. LOL
There are quite a variety of dishes on the menu. Today, we chose 2 sets: Beef Pottery Set, Meatball Cassarole Set.
Each set comes with soup and salad. It was so filling.
The price of the food is average. For a tourist city, the taste is delicious and worth the money.
For friends who are looking for delicious restaurants in Cappadocia, don't forget to consider this restaurant as another option.

The interior decoration is very beautiful, the seats are all tatami-style, I feel like a Baiye master [doge], and they have the best local (supposedly) stewed meat in a pottery pot. The pottery pot is disposable, and after stewing, you use a hammer to knock it open [heart][heart][heart]. Cappadocia has been one of the pottery production centers in West Asia since the Hittite era. The restaurant tableware is very distinctive local pottery, and the bill is brought in a very beautiful wooden carved small box
The decoration is very tasteful, the store is easy to find, parking is convenient, and transportation is very convenient. I would like to praise this.
