Souvla to sushi.

A hidden gem in Nicosia. @aigaionhouse feels like a little escape to the greek islands. An old archontiko transformed into a beautiful restaurant filled with warm lights, mediterranean flavors, wine, and the kind of energy that makes you forget where you are for a while. ❤️‍🔥

Looking for a fasting menu with variety? @kritamo_mezedotexneio has some delicious choices! But we couldn't stop there, we also got some of our favorites too and those amazing desserts 🤤 📍 Konstantinou Palaiologou, Strovolos 2023 📞 +357 22497539

Saturday lunch at @toellinikocy to enjoy delicious Greek dishes. This time we tried all the fasting options from the menu and, as always, they did not disappoint! Of course we had to get one of our all-time favorites, the grilled mushrooms, plus our new favorite, the grilled Octopus! Here's a breakdown of what we got:⬇️ -------------------------------------------- White Tarama Dip with lemon and Cretan Olive Oil ΛΕΥΚΟΣ ΤΑΡΑΜΑΣ με λεμόνι και Κρητικό ελαιόλαδο Cucumber and tomato salad with onion, green pepper and Kalamata olives ΑΓΓΟΥΡΟΝΤΟΜΑΤΑ με κρεμμύδι, πιπεριές και ελιές Καλαμάτας, Ntolmadakia Gialantzi ΝΤΟΛΜΑΔΑΚΙΑ ΓΙΑΛΑΝΤΖΙ Fried Shrimp ΓΑΡΙΔΑΚΙ ΑΙΓΑΙΟΥ ΤΗΓΑΝΗΤΟ Cuttlefish with bulgur salad ΣΟΥΠΙΕΣ ΣΧΑΡΑΣ με πλιγουροσαλάτα Fried Calamari with fries ΚΑΛΑΜΑΡΑΚΙ ΤΗΓΑΝΗΤΟ με πατάτες τηγανητές Grilled Octopus with Santorini Fava ΧΤΑΠΟΔΙ ΣΤΗ ΣΧΑΡΑ με φάβα Σαντορίνης Grilled Pleurotus mushrooms ΜΑΝΙΤΑΡΙΑ ΠΛΕΥΡΩΤΟΥΣ στη σχάρα #toellinikocy #GreekCuisine #GreekTapas #greekfood #greekfoodlovers #greece #grilledoctopus #greeksalad #calamari #shrimp #cuttlefish #cyprusrestaurants #cyprusfood #cyprusfoodies #cyprus #nicosia #nicosiarestaurants

So now at @mayiopoula we have 2 new separate menus, the new lunch menu by @siantris79 & the dinner menu by @andrew_tzo which I'll be trying soon also. @siantris79 operated in old town Nicosia, but now found it's new home at @mayiopoula and available weekdays for lunch. Mayiopoula now serves you classic lunch choices like Louvi, Fasoles, Afelia, Pasta with beef and that lamb with those traditional extra crispy sticky oven potatoes 😋 More menu items are available daily so follow their social media to be informed of menu items. The food is exceptionally good as you would expect from this well established restaurant. Portions are big, so I suggest sharing as to try more of each dish. I can't recommend just one dish as they all were unique between themselves. Now I'm hungry again 🤤 See you soon Mayiopoula 🫶🏻 #mayiopoula #cypriotfood #medditeraneanfood #greekcuisine

Name a better place to spend your summer nights than the back yard of @beba_restaurant in Nicosia… we'll wait 😁 Of course, the food is also 10/10! Greek cuisine at its best, using local, quality ingredients to create classic dishes with a twist! 🔥🔥 Our recommendation: book a reservation well in advance to enjoy their beautifully decorated backyard! We tried and loved: - Rocket & Quinoa Salad - Zucchini Fritters - Baked graviera pitta - Grilled vegetables - Pork chops with caramelized carob sauce 💯 . . . #greatdinner #greekcuisine #nicosia #cyprusfoodies #deliciousfood #kinoa #friedzucchini #tapas #deliciousness #saturdaydinner #meze #greekfoods #foodphotography #instafood #porkchops #greeksalad #saganaki #healthydinner #deliciousdinner #fetacheese #soyummy #greekfoodie #cravings #delicious #eatingfortheinsta #greekfood #greekfoodporn #greekfoodblogger #greekfoodlovers

What another great find in the heart of Nicosia @topikamezebar is! Topika (meaning Local in greek) gets it's name from the concept of the restaurant. All ingredients are local and home grown either from their own plot in Flasou village or neighbouring farmers. These are all used to cook up some tasty, fresh and unique dishes. The dishes are so well balanced between each other, I would recommend getting various from the starter section, 1-2 fresh salads to share and a couple of fish dishes and 1 meat dish. Finally had the most delicious home made Baklava Cheesecake that was the special of the day. I got a couple of DM's to try some more desserts, but I'll save those for another day! Btw, the cocktails here are so refreshing with vibes of summer flavours All in all, @topikamezebar is highly recommended without a doubt!!! Make sure to make a reservation because, it's Nicosia's best kept secret... Till now! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #cypriotcuisine #greekfood #medditeraneanfood #meze #cocktails #bestfood #cyprus #nicosia #🇨🇾

New in Town is @olio_cy and boy was this a pleasant surprise. With views from Nicosia's 360 tower, overlooking Stasikratous street & the chilled atmosphere, well its this winters go to place 💯 I'm just goona talk about the show stopper in this post.... The steak!! Just look a it 🤤 cooked to perfection, and served with truffle oil that you sprinkle yourself with some herb stems. Two or more can share.... But next time Im having just for me, and then going straight to dessert. Again, just order all the desserts and share, it's more fun that way! We had so many plates to share and all were better than previous. Will definitely show off some more dishes in the future. I suggest the grilled prawns (see next photo), they go well with steak 😋 Also had dishes/sides like "revithia" "pamies" & baked aubergine #newrestaurant #oliocy #steak #prawns #meditteraneanfood #finedining #greekfood #hotspot

A taste of Greece from @toellinikocy! 😍♥️🇬🇷 We tried: -Grilled seabream with spinach and seasonal vegetables -Grilled octopus with fava! . . . . . #healthylunch #greekcuisine #healthysnack #deliciousfood #sweets #proteinlunch #deliciousness #foodpornshare #greekfoods #healthyfood #foodphotography #instafood #instagood #cyprusfoodie #delicioso #greatlunch #deliciouslunch #fetacheese #soyummy #greekfoodie #cravings #delicious #octopus #octopus🐙 #cyprusfood #eatingfortheinsta #greekfood #greekfoodporn #greekfoodblogger #greekfoodlovers

Today I've got you some dessert recommendations from @foultoumeze First tried their Pistachio Kateifi last year and I went completely nuts 🤪Pun intended. Now they've taken a twist on it and made a Nutella with Crunchy hazelnuts version. Its a must for all chocolate lovers out there. Finally they have also added a portokalipitta to the mix, and even though its seems I didn't make a big deal out of it during my stories last week... It's the dessert ill 💯 be ordering again, alongside the other 2! So my recommendation is to go with three other friends, have your souvlakia, or whatever else you desire, and order all 3 to share!

Always a pleasure lunching at @beba_restaurant !

Another new entry during covid times, is @palaia_elia Attempted to go twice but stood impossible during these times, so now was my chance. The cuisine is I would say a mixup between Greek & Cypriot food. Each dish is beautifully presented so its a joy just to see whats placed infront of you. You'll see steak to sheftalies, lamb shank & sausages, classic souvlaki & ravioli. Its a big menu so you'll definitely find something to your likings. The desserts are creations by a well known Cypriot pastry chef... These are one of the best on the island. Check out the "Papa" in the photos on the right 👉🏻 Palaia Elia is perfect for friends gathering on these cool Nicosia evenings. Make sure you make a reservation, you won't want to miss this one 🤤 They also do live music nights so check their instagram & facebook DM me for more info #greekfood #cypriotfood #mediterraneanfood #meditteraneandiet #letseat #onthetable #meze #finedining #yougotthatyummy #🤤

My favourite new dessert in Nicosia by a FAR! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ @foultoumeze Kadaifi with 🍋 Light Lemon Cream, Roasted Pistachos & Mastique ice-cream. This is served WARM which makes it a whole lot more exciting 😋 Swipe to second video (🔊sound on), and hear the crunch of that crispy kadaifi, and the perfect balance of honey/syrup, the generous amount of pistachios and creamy masticha. The food is always is TOP, as I've been here before, but the desserts are new additions from chef @yiangoullis Also had a nice piece of portokalopitta with cream and pistachios also! Will be going back for more and more. 🤤 #kadaifi #dessert #desserts #dessertporn #desserttable #dessertlover #instadessert #desserttime #dessertstagram #dessertoftheday #dessertsofinstagram #dessertgram #dessertlovers #dessertbuffet #dessertmasters #instadesserts #dessertfirst #dessertpic #dessertbae #dessertlove #homemadedessert #tastydessert #dessertheaven #eatdessertfirst #dessertstory #dessertable #dessertgoals #dessertgasm

Foul (full) tou meze does exactly what the name suggests. The meat smorgasbord at @foultoumeze is the true definition of #meatporn. The star dish is the Traditional Creatan Antikristo Lamb. Perfect location for these nice Nicosian summer nights.
