Pyxida Fish Tavern is a long-established seafood destination in the heart of Nicosia, welcoming diners since 2004. Set in an elegant, well-maintained space with both indoor and outdoor seating, it has built a loyal following for fresh fish delivered daily and prepared with a clean, simple, well-executed style that lets the quality of the seafood shine. The menu ranges from a generous fish meze and starters from the sea to grilled catches such as cuttlefish and sea bream, oysters, seafood pasta and the tavern's own signature fish soup, with options available for guests who prefer not to eat fish. Part of the Pyxida Group, which also operates at Limassol Marina and Larnaca's seafront, the Nicosia flagship pairs its seafood with a considered wine list and attentive service. Open daily for lunch and dinner, it is a dependable choice for a relaxed meal, a business lunch or a special celebration, drawing consistently strong reviews from locals and visitors alike who return for the freshness, flavours and welcoming atmosphere.
