Moniq Restaurant and Cocktail Bar — Restaurant in Uçhisar Beldesi

First I am Turkish traveling with my family from the US, and had dinner in Moniq while staying with my family in the Taşkonaklar hotel. We had breakfast every morning during our stay. The ambiance is authentic, the waitstaff is courteous, service is efficient and the view is breathtaking. Our server Ali was an incredible person who made sure we were happy and attentive throughout. I can’t say enough good things about the food. My daughter ordered Manti, I ordered içli köfte with rib meat which was absolutely phenomenal and highly recommended I never had this anywhere else before and that is saying something from an avid traveler and food aficionado.

My husband said to me “I think this is the first time I’ve really felt like spending money on a hotel is worth it”. The only issue we had is that the wifi didn’t seem to reach our room - but we can get it on the terrace and in the restaurant, so it didn’t bother us.
