Looking for dinner with an unforgettable view? Let’s talk about Dream Spot Cappadocia, a restaurant that is making a name for itself in Uçhisar.
True to its name, this place offers a dream-like panorama alongside tasty food—exquisite cuisine meets breathtaking scenery.
Location & Ambiance
Dream Spot is perched in Uçhisar, near the famed Uçhisar Castle. The restaurant directly views Uçhisar’s towering rock castle and the surrounding valleys.
Imagine sitting on a lovely terrace, perhaps at sunset, with the stone silhouette of the castle glowing as the sky changes hues—it’s magical.
The restaurant is designed to maximize that view, with plenty of outdoor seating and indoor seating with big windows for cooler weather.
The vibe is often described as chic yet comfortable. Although there are Ottoman/Turkish design touches, it feels modern.
They have a cozy atmosphere in the evenings, sometimes with subtle music and heaters or firepits to keep you warm if it’s chilly. It’s a fantastic spot for a romantic dinner or a leisurely lunch with a panoramic backdrop. Get directions.
Menu at Dream Spot
Dream Spot’s cuisine combines local Cappadocian/Turkish dishes with international or modern twists—essentially Turkish fusion and classic favorites. The restaurant emphasizes fresh, quality ingredients. Check out restaurant’s menu
For starters, you can find a variety of meze plates (hummus, muhammara spicy dip, stuffed grape leaves, etc.) and unique salads with local cheese or walnuts. Many visitors praise their appetizers.
They serve grilled meats (like lamb chops, kebabs, and steak) and vegetarian options for main courses.
One highlight on the menu is the “Testi Kebab,” a famous Cappadocian clay pot stew that they expertly prepare.
It’s a slow-cooked mix of meat (usually lamb or beef), vegetables, and spices, sealed in a clay pot that’s cracked open with a flourish at your table.
They also serve seafood dishes, such as grilled seabass, which received praise in several reviews.
The “Dream Spot Special” could be something to ask about—many restaurants have a house-special dish, possibly a mixed grill or a chef’s creation using seasonal ingredients.
They have pasta and some international choices, too, if you’re craving that. However, we suggest you eat local-style food while here.
Don’t skip dessert – a slice of homemade baklava or their take on pumpkin dessert with tahini (a regional specialty).
They also serve traditional Turkish tea and coffee to wrap up your meal.
And for wine lovers, being in Cappadocia’s wine country means the wine list features local Turkish wines. Try a glass of Cappadocian wine – the Öküzgözü or Kalecik Karası varietals are lovely reds.
At Dream Spot, it’s a feast for both your eyes and your taste buds.
