Safranbolu Restaurants

  1. Arasta Lonca Kahvesi

    This is one of the town's most congenial places for a coffee, but it's right in the thick of the arasta action, so you pay more for the atmosphere - head to the backstreets for a quieter, cheaper cuppa.

  2. Asmaaltı Café-Bar

    This place displays enough dark wood to recreate a rainforest; live music helps the food go down here - or vice versa.

  3. Çevrikköprü 2

    Just off the main square, overlooking the lower part of town, this is a neat old-style restaurant with plenty on the menu. There's another branch next door, and the original is on the way to Yörük Köyü.

  5. İmren Lokumları

  6. Kadıoğlu Şehzade Sofrası

    Near the arasta and just behind the Arasna, a jovial plastic chef ushers you into his courtyard domain, complete with adjoining dining room in case of inclement weather. Pide is the speciality here, served in as many different ways as the kitchen has ingredients, with grills as back-up.
