  • 1. Ani Ocakbaşı

    $$

    The word ocakbaşı means "by the hearth" and the emphasis here is on grilled meats: the usual kebabs, plus the Black Sea meatball specialty, akçaabat köfte. The kitchen also prepares some local stews, but usually only at lunchtime. Vegetarian options, including delicious fresh mezes, are also available.

    474-212–0423

    Known For

    • Delicious veggie mezes
    • Ali nazik (kebab with eggplant in yogurt)
    • Boiled lamb shank
  • 2. Fatih Döner Pide ve Lahmacun Salonu

    $

    This restaurant does exactly what its name suggests: serves up tasty döner kebabs, pide topped with the usual range of meat and cheese, and crispy lahmacun (baked dough topped with ground meat, fresh parsley, and a squeeze of lemon). Try a mercimek (lentil) soup to start (ask for az porsiyon to get a small bowl).

    Kazım Paşa Cad. No. 87, Kars, Kars, Turkey
    474-212–5552

    Known For

    • Good, inexpensive option
    • Cheerful atmosphere
    • Popular with locals
  • 3. Kamer Cafe and Restaurant

    $

    One of Kars's better restaurants is set in an old Russian building, where old tiles blend with modern decor, and an open kitchen fills one end. The menu features a decent mix of Western, Turkish, and local dishes. It's a good option for travelers who fancy a change from Turkish cuisine, since you can opt for Italian or Russian instead. Their dumplings in garlic yogurt and roast goose dishes are particularly recommended. It can get pretty busy, so it's best to reserve ahead of time, especially on weekends.

    Halitpaşa Cad. 41, Kars, Kars, Turkey
    543-617–6611

    Known For

    • Dumplings in garlic yogurt
    • Roast goose
    • Steak with onion sauce
  • 4. Ocakbaşı Restoran

    $$

    The kebabs here are simple and tasty, and embroidered curtains, rust-color tablecloths, and waiters in shiny vests add a bit of atmosphere to the cave-like space. Try the ali nazik kebab (grilled meat served on a cheesy eggplant puree) or the ejder kebab, pieces of grilled meat, cheese, parsley, sesame, and egg yolk in a calzone-like wrapping.

    Atatürk Cad. 276, Kars, Kars, Turkey
    474-212–0056

    Known For

    • Ali nazik kebab
    • Slightly more formal atmosphere than a lot of the casual spots
    • Good place to try the local specialty, Kars goose
