Elysian Fusion Kitchen

Elysian Fusion Kitchen brings a fully plant-based concept to the heart of Nicosia, reimagining Cypriot and Mediterranean classics without any meat or dairy. The menu leans into healthy, protein-forward cooking with less sugar and oil, and many dishes can be made gluten-free. Guests rave about vegan versions of familiar favourites — kolokithokeftedes, saganaki with feta, Greek-style gyros, vegan sheftalies, the signature cheese bomb burger and barbecue organic jackfruit — alongside hearty superbowl salads, chickpea omelette and a veg burger.

Portions are generous and filling, and the drinks and desserts, from cheesecake to a cocoa-peanut butter bar, earn frequent praise. A recent renovation gave the dining room a cool, welcoming feel with a well-chosen soundtrack, while the friendly owner is happy to walk you through every dish. Open daily for lunch and brunch, with dinner service added on Friday and Saturday evenings, Elysian is a rewarding stop whether or not you follow a plant-based diet.
