Dayının Yeri
In a new location near the bridge, this shiny, modern ocakbaşı (grill restaurant) is one of Cappadocia's best. The kebaps are sensational and the pide is just as good. Don't even think of leaving without sampling the freshly prepared künefe (strands of cooked batter over a creamy sweet cheese base baked in syrup; TL4), cooked on little hobs near the tables. No alcohol is served.

Şanso-Panso Restaurant
This low-key eatery on the main square is a great spot to have a beer and people-watch. Given Avanos' pottery trade, it's hardly surprising that the speciality is güveç (beef stew with potatoes, tomatoes, garlic, paprika and cumin, baked in a clay pot).

Tafana Restaurant
This cluttered but reasonably attractive eatery on the main street is nowhere near as impressive as Dayının Yeri, but is a decent fall-back option if one is needed. It specialises in pide, which is cooked in a wood-fired oven. The beer here is cheap.

Bizim Ev
'Our House', next to Sofa Hotel, is the best choice for lovers of the white tablecloth. The wine and dining is divided into four sections: cave cellar, terrace, cave entrance and stone room. We prefer the open spaces upstairs, but wherever you sit, a clay pot of local trout (TL11) or the surprisingly pleasant catfish skewers (TL12) are among the more interesting selections.

Seçkin Kebap
A kebab's throw from Kirkit Pension is this breezy gourmet fast food shop with pumping tunes and lively young owners. Welcome to the new generation of meat-on-a-stick.

Adana Kebap
This old-school equivalent of fast-food dining, with sticky floors and greasy tables, churns out huge kebaps stuffed to the marrow with chilli and garlic to locals and regional gourmands.
