Dibek

Cappadocia Opened Opening date unknown

Testi kebab in a 475-year-old stone house

Order the testi kebabı a few hours ahead and Dibek will crack it open at your table: a meat-and-vegetable stew sealed inside a clay pot and slow-cooked for hours. It's the reason to plan the meal, not just show up.

Sit low on floor cushions in this 475-year-old Göreme building and work through mantı, dried-bean stews and stuffed vegetables, most of it from family recipes. Small room, traditional seating, built for a slow meal rather than a quick one.

Good to know

• Order the testi kebabı several hours ahead, it is sealed and slow-cooked to order.
