More enticing than many a museum, this trio of closely clustered 18th-century houses has been forged into a warren of stone-walled rooms and alcoves so colourfully adorned with rugs and antiques that it charges a ₺3 entry fee to the hordes of photo-snappers who don't order anything. The tasty fare is centred on local Erzurum dishes, including local böreği (cheese-stuffed pastries) and a good tandır kebap (shredded lamb).
A ₺35 taster plate provides a selection of local dishes. There is live Turkish traditional music nightly from 7pm to 11pm in the main hall or, in good weather, in the rooftop section called Şahane Türkü Evi.
