This was our first visit to Cappadocia - but it won't be our last. This was one of the best lunches I've had in this country for some time. As our main meal of the day we selected three tapas items each and that proved to be perfect for a main meal - with a little room left for dessert! All six dishes were perfectly cooked (the grilled octopus was simply sensational) and beautifully presented. Service was excellent from being welcomed at the door to the time we left - and they have somewhere to put coats and hats while you eat, a real bonus, especially in winter. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and there's a lovely cosy feel to the place. All in all this was a very special lunch and, as there are many tasty-looking items on the tapas menu (I never got past that to check out the main courses!) there are lots of reasons to tempt us back. Personally, I can't wait!

All the servers were so helpful and generous with their time. Superb experience, the manageress is equally as helpful and professional. Second time I've been here this year, really impressed. One of our party is coeliac, and it's great to go to a restaurant where you can eat safe safely and easily.
