Michelin Guide 2026 Recommended, Inspector's FavouriteNestled above the Pigeon Valley with an amazing view during the nights... Our journey in Cappadocia began in 2005, when our mother Monique visited Uçhisar with friends and fell in love with a charming ruin, draped in grapevines. That ruin eventually became the first rooms of Taskonaklar Hotel, and with it, our restaurant—Moniq.Cappadocia is a region rich in both landscape and culture, shaped by centuries of coexistence between Greeks, Armenians, and Turks. At Moniq, our mission is to elevate our guests' experience of this unique region.

    Really excellent. We enjoyed every bite, the service was attentive without being overbearing, and the view was impressive. A bit expensive for the area, but honestly, we would gladly do it again. If you don't mind spending a bit more for a special experience, then just do it. It's worth it.

    This is the 5th different Nusret we've dined at in both Turkiy and the United States. No matter what location, the food is consistently good. We thoroughly enjoyed the Nusret special for 2. The meat was flavorful and delicous. The complimentary french fries were light and a perfect accompaniment to our meal. As always, the pistachio baklava with Marash ice cream is simply the best. Nothing compares to it. Our server (Mehmet?) provided friendly service throughout our meal. We would definitely dine here again if visiting Kapadokya.
