Quick China
Quick China is a relatively new restaurant and can be found across a few other destinations in Turkey. However, when making the decision of what to eat in Cappadocia, this is a must-visit for anyone.Â
The newly built building showcases the modern structures that we can expect to see in Göreme over the next few years. Taking up a large area of one of the main streets, it’s very difficult to miss, and even harder to not be tempted.
The customer service is excellent, with the team being more than happy to help with every need. However, the food is the star of the show. The menu is filled with Asian cuisine that includes Chinese, Thai, Japanese and Korean dishes. There is much to enjoy for all diners, with an extremely diverse range of options.Â
The ambience, food and service all work together to provide the perfect dining experience in a romantic location. It’s certainly one to add to your restaurant list.
Local Kebab Shops
If you’re not looking for a restaurant in Cappadocia, try some of the food stalls. Did you really visit Turkey if you didn’t try a kebab? Some of the better kebab stalls may be hidden down the side streets in Göreme, but they are present and ready to offer a true, Turkish kebabs.
Organic Cave Kitchen
Organic Cave Kitchen is an intimate, yet spacious, restaurant with a varied menu. The staff are welcoming and the views are exceptional, providing a memorable dining experience. Organic Cave Kitchen offers a relaxed environment with home comfort food, making you want to return every night.Â
Viewpoint Cafe
If you’re looking for a special restaurant in Cappadocia, Viewpoint Cafe will certainly offer the best views. It’s a slightly busier restaurant as guests line up to taste the food, while the service goes above and beyond. However, the big selling point is the unbeaten view. Diners can spend the evening gazing at the magnificent fairy chimneys at a high, if not the highest, restaurant viewpoint in Göreme.
The team at Viewpoint Cafe are not flustered by the popularity of the restaurant. Guests can expect remarkable service while they aim to make up new restaurant tables to accommodate everyone.
Turkish ice cream
For some comedy, the Turkish ice cream vendors will deliver an experience with a tasty treat at the end. You can find them lining the main streets of Göreme encouraging you to stop and have a taste.
The thicker texture of the ice cream allows the vendor to prank customers when serving. Highly recommended by many all over the world, Turkish ice cream is perfect for those with a sweet tooth. The creamy texture and distinct flavours are mouthwatering while the ice cream also has a resistance to melting, making it a perfect treat on a hot day.
