Revithia, located at the Michelin Guide recognized and award-winning Kayakapi Premium Caves - Cappadocia, was born from a passion to share the region’s rich gastronomic heritage in a truly innovative way. As Cappadocia’s first and only Michelin-starred restaurant, Revithia has become one of the best restaurants in Cappadocia for guests seeking an authentic tasting menu experience. The restaurant’s name Revithia, meaning “chickpea,” symbolizes transformation and renewal.
Revithia transforms age-old Anatolian recipes from the many civilizations that have lived in these lands into modern culinary masterpieces. Here, food is more than sustenance, it is a storytelling medium that connects past and present, tradition and innovation, in each memorable bite.
As the region’s sole Michelin-starred restaurant and a pioneer of Cappadocia’s tasting menu culture, Revithia offers a seasonally changing menu that ensures no two visits are ever the same. Our chefs draw inspiration mainly from Turkish, Greek, and Armenian recipes passed down through generations, reviving nearly forgotten dishes with creative, modern techniques. The menu typically evolves three to four times a year to highlight the freshest local ingredients and seasonal flavors. Each course is thoughtfully crafted as a tribute to the region’s rich culinary tapestry, honoring tradition while igniting new delight for the palate.

To complement our cuisine, Revithia celebrates Cappadocia’s terroir-driven wines. Every course can be paired with local Cappadocian wines produced in the region’s volcanic soil, highlighting unique grape varietals and terra rossa nuances. These pairings elevate each dish, allowing guests to literally taste the Cappadocian landscape in their glass. From crisp white wines to robust reds and indigenous grape blends, the curated wine program offers a perfect harmony between food and wine, further enhancing the multi-sensory dining experience.
Revithia is a natural choice for guests who wish to discover Cappadocia through both its cuisine and its wines.
Housed within a UNESCO-recognized historic cave, Revithia provides an atmosphere as enchanting as its menu. The indoor dining room, crafted from ancient stone walls and adorned with warm, elegant décor, offers an intimate capacity of just 25 guests, ensuring personalized attention and a serene ambience
During warmer months, dinner can be enjoyed on our open-air terrace, seating up to 40 guests, overlooking the fairy-tale panoramas of Ürgüp and Kayakapi Premium Caves - Cappadocia.
