Fat Boys

If you’re looking for a spot in Göreme that trades the "white tablecloth" vibe for a relaxed, backpacker-friendly atmosphere, Fat Boys Restaurant & Bar is the place to be. It has long been a staple for travelers who want a mix of Turkish tradition and Western comfort. Located right in the heart of Göreme's town square, Fat Boys is impossible to miss. It’s famous for its low-slung seating and floor cushions, creating a "chill-out" zone that is perfect for resting your legs after a long day of hiking the Red or Rose Valleys. ​The menu is a massive, "something-for-everyone" list that balances authentic Anatolian dishes with Western staples. ​Turkish Classics: Their Testi Kebab (Pottery Kebab) is a highlight—cracked open at your table for a bit of traditional flair. It’s rich, slow-cooked, and deeply savory. ​Western Comforts: If you’re hit with a craving for home, their burgers (especially the lentil burger) and chips are surprisingly good for a region known more for lamb than brioche buns. ​Value for Money: While prices in Cappadocia have risen, Fat Boys remains relatively affordable, providing large portions that are great for fueling up before a trek. I had their Hummus and Dip which was quite good for Appetizers and Starters. They also had several other Vegetarian options like Salads and Wraps for a Vegan or Vegetarian. This restaurant owners Angela gave good service quality and tour of the restaurant. They were quite warm and friendly #Fat #Boys #Cappadocia

Great atmosphere, super friendly service and the staff speak excellent English. Delicious and quick food - we came back again the same day. Especially recommend the mushroom Sac Tava for vegetarians/vegans.

Nice for lunch stopover. Has Kofta - the meat itself was tasty. But there's no sauce or salad dressing of any kind (not sure if that's common practice here).

I ordered the chicken skewers and they were absolutely delicious, tender and juicy. The mashed potato in the middle also deserves a shoutout because it’s super yummy. Will recommend for those in Goreme!

Wow, what a great find! The food here was so amazing, we had to come twice! Super flavourful and delicious! Our whole family loved the food! Definitely recommend! The owner was super nice and went the extra mile for us! We felt so welcome, and the service was superb! Overall I highly recommend this this place!

I went in for a quick bite, not expecting much and had a delicious dish of baked mushrooms in tomatoe sauce topped with cheese. It was a very simple but yummy dish and so enjoyable sitting in full sun inside the restaurant.

Tried Australian sausage rolls..very nice. Pleasent atmosphere in a good spot. Clean toilets...good food. Nuri will take care of you with a smile

We had dinner here in Goreme and it was really good. The portion was big, and the quality of the food was decent. We had chicken and beef saç tava and it was great.
