Where to eat meat & steak in Kayseri?

In Kayseri, steakhouse chefs who sear the meat to preserve its pure flavour as much as possible give an unforgettable welcome both to locals looking for a delicious dinner and to visitors to the city. When the meat is placed on a very hot grill, its outer layer forms a crust from the fierce heat, while the juices inside turn to steam and cook the meat from within.

Here are 4 steakhouses in Kayseri that will treat you to a feast of flavours:

Hacı Steak Hause

Hacı Steak House is a stylish spot that has become very popular in Kayseri recently and is remembered for its extensive menu. If you're looking for a place with a rich dinner menu, you should definitely go to Hacı. You'll taste oyster mushrooms in many of the dishes on the menu. There are plenty of options, from celery soup to the New York Roll, from Chateaubriand to smoked cheddar, from rack of lamb to fennel and aniseed sausage and sucuk (spicy sausage) with halloumi. They are real masters at resting the meat, using Himalayan salt for dry-ageing to draw out the blood and toxins. Add to that unique presentation and their leavened bread. They also have small branches called HACI SOKAKTA in central Kayseri and at the Erciyes Ski Centre, serving street food such as hot dogs, kokoreç, steak burgers and more.

Kemal Koçak Et Lokantası

We can say this is the place that started the steak trend in Kayseri, opened to meet the city’s need for a first-class restaurant. It has four different kitchens to suit every palate: Döner-İskender, Steakhouse, Gaziantep cuisine and Kayseri cuisine.

In the steakhouse you can taste everything from lokum (tender beef fillet) and entrecôte to veal chops, rack of lamb and steak speciale. We can’t help mentioning that lokum is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Kemal Koçak. Beyond the steakhouse, the variety of kebabs will also catch your eye. If you’re a fan of burgers and köfte (meatballs), there are plenty of options. If you’d like white meat, you can choose chicken shish, chicken chops, a mixed grill or külbastı (grilled cutlet). If you want to taste every flavour of Kayseri cuisine, go for the Kayseri platter menu.
