If you're visiting Selçuk and looking for an authentic dining experience, look no further than the Old House Restaurant. Tucked away on a quiet street yet just minutes from the main attractions, this charming spot offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere and some of the best Turkish cuisine you'll find in the region. From the moment you step inside, you're treated like family. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to recommend a dish or share a story about the local ingredients.

Read moreThank you to the owner and his family for a wonderful dinner tonight.
The power went out in the entire town but our large group stayed, and so glad we did as we loved the entire experience.
The owner went out of his way to please us, the food was hands down amazing, freshly cooked by candlelight - what an effort! The salad was nice and cold, crisp and fresh, the service faultless and the entire setting just adorable. It is by far our most favourite meal during our tour of Turkey and can't recommend it enough.
The steak was phenominal, the tzatziki the best I've ever eaten, and the hummus outstanding! The rice pudding was the absolute yummiest too.
Thank you to the owners little girl who made our night so memorable. What a gorgeous little thing!!! And what a beautiful family.
One of the group left their keys on the table, the owner rode his bike to find us, in the dark, and hand back the key. I am so very impressed at this effort!!!
If you visit you must go. I promise you won't be disappointed. LOVED LOVED LOVED IT! Thank you so much.

I dropped off my bags on the charis. The owner quickly came to me and asked me to move And sit at a small table right next to where the water was running down from as 'we don't have enough tables and these are for bigger groups'. I struggled to put my bags into one chair They we're wobbly and about to fall off at any given time. I was finally pissed off and decided to not let him earn my money. If he had the least common sense he should show some empaty to someone came in the rain with lots of heavy luggages to at least sit down and rest. Besides on a rainy night 7pm with only one group dining i don't understand how big a crowd he...
