Delicious food in Goreme

While we were in Cappadocia we visited the Old Cappadocia Restaurant in Goreme for an evening meal.  We were tired after a long day and we came across the restaurant on the main street.  The menu looked inviting.

I had heard about the wine from the Cappadocia region, so of course I had to give it a go, so I ordered a glass of white, and it was delicious, probably the best wine I have tasted during all of my visits to Turkey.

I ordered the Testi Kebab or Pottery Kebab, as this was a local dish I had seen and wanted to give it a try.

The waiter brought us some local 'flat' bread, and a small dish of oil and one of black pepper, and told us to dip the bread into the oil and then the pepper.  It was really good.

Then the Testi Kebab arrived, it was served in a clay pot and arrived at the table on fire.

And if that wasn't dramatic enough the waiter brought a hammer, and broke open the pot.  Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of this as the fire, hammer and flying pottery was making me a little bit nervous, but once the top of the pot had been removed it revealed this:

Once the flames had died down, I was able to taste the meal, the taste lived up to the drama.  It was a delicious casserole of chicken with vegetables in a tasty sauce, served with rice.

After another glass of wine we headed back to the hotel.
