Vintage Wine bar & Bistro Nicosia

Set on the beautifully restored Ermou Street in the heart of old Nicosia, Vintage Wine bar & Bistro is the Cypriot outpost of a renowned Athenian original. It blends creative Mediterranean cuisine with Greek, Cypriot and Middle-Eastern touches, all built around an exceptional wine collection with a wide range available by the glass. A sommelier-owner and knowledgeable staff guide guests through thoughtful food-and-wine pairings, taking time to explain each dish.

The interior is warm, chic and intimate, with calm music and well-spaced tables that create a romantic, relaxed atmosphere; in the warmer months a garden terrace offers a serene setting under the city sky. Diners consistently praise dishes such as lamb shank, the Chicken "Marry Me", standout salads and desserts like panna cotta and cheesecake. Open evenings Tuesday to Saturday and staying open late, it suits date nights, celebrations and anyone seeking refined food with warm hospitality in the capital's historic centre. Reservations are recommended, and the setting rewards those looking to linger over a memorable meal.
