Nicosia holds tight to its food traditions, and this collection gathers places serving classic Cypriot cooking across the capital and its neighbourhoods. You'll find generous meze spreads, charcoal grills and homemade dishes in spots ranging from central Nicosia to Engomi, Lakatamia and beyond.
For the full tavern experience, Zanettos Cypriot Tavern lays out a set meze of traditional dishes with local wines, while Kathodon on Ledras Street pairs homemade meze and fresh seafood with live laiko music in the old town. Meze bars like Topika and Paparouna offer plates made for sharing, and Kuzuba brings a more modern, creative approach to local ingredients.
If you're after something more refined, Rous reimagines Cypriot and Greek classics with a fine-dining touch, and Εστιατόριο Μπέμπα serves elevated Cypriot and Mediterranean cooking with daily specials. Whatever the occasion, there's a table here for it.
