Amaseia Mutfağı
A local restaurant in a two-story Ottoman house by the river in the old city, where keşkek, yogurt soup and broad bean-stuffed vine leaves are the signatures.
The two-story house is on Hazeranlar Street in the old city. Some rooms display old furniture, tableware, radios and clothing, like a folk museum. The menu focuses on Amasya home cooking: keşkek (lamb and cracked wheat porridge), toyga çorbası (yogurt and mint soup), and bakla dolması (vine leaves stuffed with broad beans). Slow-cooked clay-pot stews, including beans and okra, are also served, and the homemade yogurt is well praised. Tripadvisor ranks it near the top in Amasya, while Turkish travel guides note that prices are above the local average. It's a walk along the river from the old city, and the Hazeranlar Mansion Museum is nearby.
