Tucked into the heart of Nicosia's old town, Tsipouraki Mezedaki is a cosy, traditional tavern where warm hospitality and live Greek music set the mood every evening. The menu is deliberately short but full of variety, with dishes rooted in traditional Cypriot and Greek cuisine and given a small creative twist. Everything arrives fresh and well-prepared, from the standout fava with caramelised onions and freshly baked bread to a delicious psaronefri served with sweet potatoes.

Guests consistently praise the relaxed, homey atmosphere, the friendly and knowledgeable staff, and the fair prices. Live bands playing timeless Greek classics add to the authentic, intimate feel of the room, making it a favourite for a laid-back dinner with friends or a special night out. With a 4.5-star rating from nearly 400 reviews, it has earned a loyal following.

Open every evening from 19:30 (19:00 on Sundays), it's an inviting spot to linger over well-balanced flavours in one of Nicosia's most characterful corners.
