Undoubtedly one of the most famous dishes you’ll find at a Greek Taverna, but also the easiest to make at home! A dish with distinct Ouzo notes that travels you to Greece every single time Ingredients : 100ml Ouzo 12 1 leek 200gr mushrooms 1 knob butter 300gr orzo 500ml stock Extra boiling water (Olive oil, salt, paprika) Method : We fry the leaks and mushrooms separately and out aside. We then slightly fry 6 medium-sized prawns with salt anf paprika, adding 100ml of Ouzo12. Flambé it will bring a nice chargrill texture. Keep frying till they caramelise, you can easily put out the flame with a simple blow. We slightly fry the Orzo to keep it from becoming mushy and gives it flavor too! Add 500ml of stock or water. Extra water may be needed as per cooking preference. #OuzoRecipe #OrzoPasta #MediterraneanFlavours #CyprusEats #EasyDinnerIdeas #Ouzo12 #GreekInspired

With their cool outside deck seating area, @topikamezebar is the perfect spot for the transitioning from summer to fall season in Nicosia. It was the perfect space to meet up with our friends from @cyprustourism to catchup with all the summer gossip and share the best Mediterranean / Cypriot dishes on the island. Everything we ate and how much it cost is all in the captions of the reel! Highly recommend 💯 #MediterraneanFlavors #CypriotTwist #LocalIngredients #SharingDishes #VegetarianOptions #TraditionalDesserts #Uniquecocktails #NicosiaRestaurant

About last night at Nicosia's latest entry and hotspot at @ethimo_restaurant After weeks of seeing various stories on my social media, in a last minute decision with a group of friends, pulled some strings and managed to get an early 7:30 table at Ethimo! Place soon enough filled up by the time our appetizers started to arrive Its a simple menu, but all round great choices that everyone will definitely find something they would like. The main theme of the restaurant is Mediterranean cuisine, but saying that, don’t confuse it with other Mediterranean restaurants offering a mix of cuisines. Ethimo is Greek food at heart. Every dish had an element of greek flavors The must try dishes for me where the Tomatinia Salad! Yes a salad 🤯!!! The Mavros Xeiros, Wild Mushroom Manestra, Pitta stin Thraka and Trayana are instantly my favourites and will find it hard not to order again, but I do want to try more of the menu Final verdict : No it’s not the same as other restaurants, they have managed to pull of a menu that’s unique to them in a vibing environment with absolute great service! Food arrived in a timely manner and even though it was a full house - the waiting staff always checked in on us if everything was ok! #nicosia #cyprus #cypruseats #ethimorestaurant

Welcome to @pantopoleio_kaliorexi Nicosia's Favorite Mediterranean style restaurant since 2009 With the release of their new menu, we had a chance to try some of the additions elevating the experience to new levels. It's a definite MUST recommendation for everyone looking for the perfect dining experience Just some of the dishes we tried • Sea Bass Carpaccio with Lime and Herb Olive Oil • Pink Grapefruit Salad various greens, goat cheese, mushrooms, radish and pink grapefruit sauce • Beetroot Carpaccio roasted beetroot thinly cut with goat cheese, caramelized hazelnuts and green salad • Cauliflower roasted, marinated in lemon juice, cauliflower with yogurt and aromatic olive oil • Sea Bass Fillet with green peas puree, spearmint sauce and chorizo • Beef Cheek with velvety potato puree • Semi Fredo with Hazelnuts Praline and chocolate sauce #meditteraneanfood

Food is symbolic of love when words are inadequate. And, it’s not just about a hearty meal, but about the hands that craft it and the hearts that share it. That's why I love doing what I do. I love sharing my experiences to everyone, with the hope that they also try some of these places and have the same heart warming experiences that I do with food and friends. On a casual Wednesday night @f00drink and I had the most pleasant evening at @topikamezebar just catching up over the past year as he lives most of his time in Germany now. And we couldn't resist taking some photos & videos of our food #foodlovers #cypruseats #cyprus #nicosia

Bursting of flavours, Nicosia’s new restaurant @sentio.nicosia by chef @andreas.yiangoullas is a modern space designed for friendly gatherings The cuisine is mediterranean with both middle eastern & asian influences. Plates are well designed for sharing amongst friends. With soft music and dim lighting, it’s the perfect balance for a relaxing night out Below are some of the dishes we tried as seen in order of this reel * Ntakos Burrata * Beef Tartar Tacos * Stuffed Courgette Flowers * Crispy Squid * Prawn Gyoza * Baked Mushroom Ravioli * Octopus * Corvina “Spanakorizo” * Prawn Yiouvetsi * Sirloin Steak (Creekstone USDA 400gr) & Fries Dessert: * Apple / Anari (order this 🤤) * Lemon Baklava * Profiterole Prices at Sentio are well balanced, the 400gr steak & fries were valued at €42. Other dishes like Crispy Squid & Prawn Gyoza at €12 each that can easily be shared amongst 4 people. A generous amount of Prawn Yiouvetsi was at €16 and Salad was €13. All desserts were at €9 so pretty much you get an idea of the prices. For more information feel free to DM me. Reservation is a must at this point because its fully booked inside & outside these days Simply can not wait for new additions as this restaurant matures over time Sentio is located in Nicosia's most vibing street at the moment at Stasandrou 13. Limassol don't worry, you’ll get a taste of chef @andreas.yiangoullas food soon at La Caleta at The Icon in limassol as he is current working with them on the new menu launching next week. Stay tuned for more info about that here on @cypruseats #nicosia #restaurant #dinner #cyprus

Cool summer nights in town and you’re looking for a place to eat under the starry sky, then these three Tavern's in Nicosia won’t disappoint Save for later ✅ 📍 @kritamo_mezedotexneio 📍 @foultoumeze 📍 @taneipwta_ #underthestars #medditeraneanfood #nicosia #cyprus #cypruseats #summer2023

Looking for that summer garden with greek meze? Well @kritamo_mezedotexneio is just that place. Greek meze dishes but also al a cart menu items from 2 menus, the standard all year round menu, and the elevated modern twist to greek food menu that will change according to season. Watch the full reel with captions to see what I ate Once again chef @argie_pap93 has done an amazing job combining traditional flavours and mixed them up with modern techniques. Everything you saw in the reel is amazing, but the kolokokiftedes are a must, as well as the traxanokeftedes and accompanied by that warm halloumi cheese with tomato jam 🤤🤤🤤 Even though the garden area is large and walk-ins are welcomed, I would suggest to make a reservation. Here's the number to save you from searching 📞 22497539 Oooh and there's a huge free parking space opposite the restaurant, I know that's a major advantage when choosing a restaurant to go to #greekfood #meditteraneanfood #cyprus #nicosia #loveit

@mousonbarrestaurant Another all time classic re-inventing itself with a menu that compliments their vibe and chilled atmosphere. The menu is great for sharing amongst a group of friends, specifically designed with that in mind so portions are quite big. The menu itself has many asian fusion influences and that modern mediterranean twist also. Theirs a wide range of dishes to choose from, so everyone is bound to find something for their unique taste. My stand out dish that must be ordered at every table was the Tuna with Orange ginger granita | Asian dressing chilli chives I fennel & fresh onions. Flatbreads to share is also a good idea, they have 2 types, the truffle and the lahmajun both super tasty and unique! That's another point I should mention here, all plates are unique to each other and blend well no matter how you combine them. The Orange and Mango risotto was another favorite amongst the group of friends. With all these food choices, you simply must pair with some cocktails, I got the EUTERPE topped off with a preserved Walnut (yliko karydaki) 10/10!! I mean I could go on about every single dish, so just make sure you visit their Facebook page and see the full menu. Last but not least, Dessert! - Chocolate Cheesecake - Wulnut Pie Just get them and you'll have no regrets TRUST ME on this one. I was soo impressed with the new menu and the talent of Chef @cleovoulouc that I'm now arranging to go for brunch with another group of friends as to see if brunch is as equally great! Stay tuned! P.S. The music was on point, 80's 90's & 00's and volume at perfect level that we could talk to each other and have an overall great night out with our friends and one more important point, the staff! Most friendly welcoming waiters and waitresses in Nicosia ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #restaurant #bar #asianfusion #medditeraneanfusion #nicosia #cyprus

🤯 OMG you’re gonna love this place @amano_nicosia Quick review here, but a full one coming soon on cypruseats.com @amano_nicosia Is a fusion restaurant between Mediterranean cuisine and Peruvian influences. Bold flavours and each dish totally unique from each other. Best way to try is to share all the dishes as the portions are quite big! @noel_chef has created a nice selection and can’t wait to try the rest 😋 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ambiance ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Value for money Check out the full menu on their social media! #meditteraneanfood #peruvianfood #fusion #cocktails #nicosia #cyprus

Did you @beba_restaurant yet? 🤤 #greekfood #finedining #mediterraneanfood #beba #nicosia #cyprus #cypruseats

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

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

With a new menu and a brand new identity, “Mayiopoula - Wine & Dine” @mayiopoula is a must visit in the countries capital. Based on classic & contemporary Mediterranean cuisine, designed by Executive Chef @andrew_tzo , you'll find dishes like tender pork chops and steak, too unique plates to share like the Greek Ceviche with Greek salad sauce and the must try goat cheese salad. Finally, you'll get the chance to try the most luxurious lava cake in a huge cast iron skillet. Slide 👉🏻 for video for that lava flow 🌋 Just added this to my list of goto places for casual or fine dining experience in a restaurant that offers superb service and great ambiance ❤️ #mediterranean #mediterraneanfood #mediterraneanlife #mediterraneandiet #mediterraneanstyle #mediterraneancuisine #mediterraneanvibes #mediterraneanlifestyle #mediterraneanrestaurant #steak #salad #porkchops #ceviche #lavacake #dessert

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 #🤤
