Cappadocia Restaurant

Ürgüp


Long-time local favourite, right on the main square, this lokanta (eatery serving ready-made food) does four or five dishes daily. Stuffed courgettes, beans, and stews of köfte (meatballs) and potato or spinach, bulgur and mincemeat are typical options. None of it is standout tasty but it's cheap and filling. Half-portions are possible (great for solo travellers).

Vegetarians will find little here as nearly all the dishes have at least a bit of meat in them.
