Souvla to sushi.

Hidden in the small streets of old Kaimakli, Paparouna Meze is the perfect spot to enjoy delicious meze dishes all summer in their beautiful yard! You can order the full meze set menu or make your own selection from the a la carte menu. We personally loved the orzo made with carob syrup, the egg-fried zucchini and afelia as well as the super tender chicken and pork souvlaki served beautifully on a platter of skewers along with the most delicious hand-cut fries! The atmosphere was lovely and the whole restaurant was packed, so if you decide to go make sure to call in advance! #restaurant #nicosia #cyprus

Less than an hour from Nicosia you can enjoy some of the most delicious meze we had in Cyprus! @psomikelia in Avgorou is open all year round serving both Cypriot and Greek dishes using local, seasonal ingredients. We really liked the fact that you can customize your own meze dishes in case you don’t like some of the things included in the regular meze option. The absolute highlights were the feta-stuffed sausage and the juicy beef chop cooked perfectly, as well as the fries, being in the Kokkinoxwria villages, they were probably the best fries we ever had at a taverna! Their menu also includes a dedicated delicacies section with options like Zalatina, Snails, Fried salted pork and other Cypriot-exclusive dishes. If you haven’t tried it yet, we definitely recommend it! #cyprus #tavern #meze #restaurant

Right in the center of old Aglantzia you can find @kafeneioimikrirodia, a small coffee shop that also serves a delicious Cypriot brunch buffet on weekends with dishes like homemade courgette pie, fresh anari cheese, eggs and local sausages. Even if you don’t visit for their buffet, on their menu you’ll find traditional pies, sweets and homemade lemonade to enjoy the vibes of old Aglantzia. We really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and we’ll definitely be visiting again! 📍Plateia Kyriakou Karaoli, Aglantzia 2108 #brunch #breakfast #cyprus #nicosia

If you find yourself at the Georgios Andreou supermarket in Mitsero on a Saturday morning, you’ll definitely be in for a treat, as they make their own unique koupes that are not sold anywhere else in the world! 🌍 You can try koupes filled with sausage and halloumi, pastourma, olives, spinach and feta and other unique fillings, but they also make a really tasty traditional koupa filled with fragrant minced meat. Other than the savory fillings we also tried their sweett ‘koupinia’ filled with Nutella, pistachio, oreo and other popular fillings, and if you are lucky you might also get to try the viral ‘dubai koupa’! We learned that they sell over 800 koupes every Saturday, so you can tell how popular they are! #cyprus #nicosia #cyprusfood #koupes

In case you didn’t know... Inside the Agios Antonios Municipal Market you can find Maeirko, a contemporary restaurant giving some classic Cypriot dishes a modern twist! They have some great options for lunch like louvi with sardines and chickpeas with beetroot & tahini that you can order at the office or visit in person from Monday to Saturday! It was our second time visiting Maeirko, and this time round we decided to try the following dishes: • Moutzentra Lentils with Egg According to @stavros_fokou, back in the day people used to serve Lentils with a fried (or in this case, poached) egg on top 👌 • Cutlet with Kumantaria Glaze, Beans and Potatoes The Kumantaria gave the cutlet a sweet taste, without it actually being overwhelming • Picked fruit rocket Salad with Chalitzi Cheese • Eggplant spread with Caramelized Walnuts • Pishia with honey and seasonal fruits ...and if you didn’t know, now you know 😊 #maeirko #cyprus #cuisine #nicosia #food #restaurant #contemporarycuisine

The restaurant's dedication to culinary innovation, while remaining deeply rooted in tradition, makes it a must-visit destination, and we can honestly say that we can't wait to visit again! Here's what we tried: - Homemade bread and Pork Fat dip - Picked Legumes salad with Seasonal greens, Sweet potato, Peppers, Walnuts and Eggplant - "Mouggra", comprised of pickled Cauliflower Purée, Fried Cauliflower, Sourdough and Mustard - Pastourma Tartar with Quail Eggs Brûlée, Homemade Pishies (Fried Pastry) and Pastourma Sauce 💯 - Louvana, featuring a delicious Caramelized Pastourmas and Squid in Pomegranate Juice - Okra, with Roasted Sesame Tahini, Mandoles and Hot Peppers - Tuna Steak with pickled Watermelon, Glistrida , Taramas and Black Olive paste - Kappamas, basically a whole Rooster served with Cauliflower and roasted Potatoes - Orange Rosemary Cocktail - Brandy with homemade Grape Kola 🔥 . . . #Cyprus #CyprusFood #maeirko #nicosia #nicosiarestaurants

🍳 Who doesn't like a good brunch at the village? Located in Politiko village, at @filimon_gefseis you can try anything from traditional boukkoma to Cypriot "tacos", all made using homemade products. We tried the Cypriot version of shakshuka (Πομιλοροτιάνιση) as well as an alternative French toast (Το Πόπαστον) made with anari cheese, cinnamon and honey that tasted exactly like pourekkia with anari! We were impressed with both dishes and we can't wait to be back and try the eggs Benedict as they looked divine! #brunch #nicosiarestaurants #shakshuka #frenchtoast #brunchlife #cyprusfood #cyprusfoodies #brunchtime #brunchlover #brunching #cyprus #nicosia #breakfastlover #breakfast

A rather new entry in Nicosia, @kuzuba_ -which in Greek means "grape vine trunk"- is a restaurant that focuses on serving simple dishes with quality ingredients that reflect Cyprus' rich food culture. We loved the restaurant's minimal aesthetic and buzzing atmosphere and we'll definitely visit again during the summer to enjoy the outdoor space! Appetizers: - Crispy bites: Fish tartare, yuzu yoghurt, aioli - Pourekki filled with beef, pine nuts, spices, yoghurt & Persian lemon Mains: -Charred octopus with sweet red pepper and almond spread, fried potatoes, capers, smoked paprika -Strip loin with lima beans, mixed greens, demi glace, ginger Verde sauce Dessert: -Kataif with mahalepi cream, candied pistachio, forest fruit, raspberry sorbet #cyprus #nicosia #mediterraneanfood #restaurant #steak #steakdinner #kataifi #cypriotfood #cyprusfood #cyprusfoodies #nicosiarestaurants #localfood
