Cappadoccia’s 10 Great Restaurants from Ürgüp to Göreme — theculturetrip.com

Opened in 2010, Seten quickly established itself as one of the best restaurants not only in Göreme but in the whole of Cappadocia. Enjoying a superb setting, the restaurant is centred around an arched courtyard, which twice a year provides a beautiful space for a classical music concert. A variety of Anatolian and Turkish dishes are prepared from locally sourced ingredients using traditional cooking techniques. Guests can savour plates like yaprak sarma (rice wrapped in vine leaves and cooked in a tandir oven), and çiçek dolması (Göreme-style stuffed squash blossoms). As a perfect accompaniment to the local dishes, Seten also offers a wide range of homemade red and white wines. The restaurant prides itself on its own wine cave cellar, a room where wine, originally foot-stomped from grapes, has been produced for centuries. Housed in the adjacent Sultan Cave Suites Hotel, the restaurant also allows access to the Cappadocia Cultural Centre, a small antiques gallery showcasing local artefacts such as pottery, jewellery and Anatolian textiles.
