Souvla to sushi.

Ayran 101. (Real lessons start after the 30 second mark). The dos and don’ts of Cyprus’s favourite fermented milk drink. With Mike at @fameliamageirio and @yianneats . Get it wrong and you’ll be living on the toilet by tonight. Don’t say Mike didn’t warn you. #Ayran #Pikla #CyprusFood #CyprusCulture #Larnaca

Eating Cypriot with The Pickle. Every episode, a place worth eating at. No ratings. No scores. If it’s here, it’s good. Episode 8: Famelia, Larnaca. This one’s with @yianneats . Full meze, proper sheftalia, and we’d put away a quart of zivania by 5 in the afternoon. He had snails for the first time. You’ll want to see his face. Ταβερνοκαταστάσεις. Καλή όρεξη. #EatingCypriotWithThePickle #Pikla #CypriotFood #CyprusEats #LarnacaFood

Summer is here which means it’s time to make Cyprus’ most popular summer dessert - a refreshing mahallepi served with Agros Rosewater, a product with Protected Geographical Indication. The EU quality schemes (PDO, PGI and GI) are European certification systems, supported through the Common Agricultural Policy and implemented at national level through the CAP Strategic Plan 2023–2027 in Cyprus. These schemes contribute to strengthening farmers’ position in the food value chain and improving the competitiveness of agricultural products. By promoting products such as Agros Rosewater (PGI), these instruments support producers in differentiating their products, achieving higher market value and preserving traditional know-how, while offering consumers high-quality food with guaranteed origin and authenticity. Ingredients (serve 2): 2 tbsp maze starch 2 cups water (to serve/per serving) 1 tbsp Agros Rosewater PGI 2-3 tbsp Rose Cordial 1/3 cup iced water a few ice-cubes (optional) Mix the water with the maze starch in a pot and stir well to dissolve the starch. Make sure the water is cold. After it is completely dissolved, heat the pan on medium heat until it comes to a boil, stiring constantly for a few minutes until the mixure thickens. Pour the mixure into two small bowls (lightly coated with water to prevent sticking), let them cool down and place them in the fridge overnight. Serve with rosewater, rose syrup and water, optionally add a few ice-cubes for extra coolness and enjoy! #mahalepi #leptsspeakcap #CAPonyourplate #imcap #localproducts

Θα έρθεις εδώ για το φαγητό, αλλά εμείς βρήκαμε και ένα vibe που πραγματικά δεν παίζεται! Αυτό είναι το @paparouna_meze στο Καϊμακλί. Λάτρεψα την πιατέλα σχάρας, και πιο συγκεκριμένα το κοντοσούβλι. Είναι σαν mini σούβλα, 10/10! Ο μεζές στα €24,50 έχει πολύ καλή αξία για όλα όσα περιλαμβάνει, με γενναιόδωρες μερίδες. Το μενού είναι επιμελημένο από τον @theo_eleftheriou Ανοιχτά από Τρίτη μέχρι Σάββατο, από τις 7 μ.μ. Κρατήσεις στο +357 22435982.

You'll come here for the food, but we found a vibe that is unmatched! This is @paparouna_meze in Kaimakli Absolutely loved the grill platter and the kondosouvlaki to be precise, it's like mini souvla 10/10! The €24,50 meze is great value for what's included and generous portions too! The menu is curated by @theo_eleftheriou Open from Tuesday to Saturday from 7pm Reservations at +357 22435982

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

We had an amazing wine tasting experience at Dómes Sergiou winery that just opened in Skarinou Larnaca, trying their unique wines alongside local Cypriot products. If you are looking for a unique experience in Cyprus, definitely give it a try! 🍷 #cyprus #larnaca #winery

A few days ago we took part in the first of the “Taste Cyprus” Food Tours organized by the “Let’s Speak Cap” campaign, and we had an amazing day trying local food and wine and learning about agriculture and rural areas in Cyprus and the support of the Common Agricultural Policy! If you want, you can also take part in one of the free food tours that will take place between March-May! The next one is planned for the 21st of March in Agros Village - check out @lets_speak_cap to register and learn about the available dates and locations! Our tour began at the Archontiko Kiverniti hotel in Lefkara where we had a tasty breakfast with traditional Cypriot products and spoke with the owner of the hotel, who told us how they were able to create their hotel with the support of the Cyprus Rural Development Programme, co-financed by the EU. Next we had a tour of the vineyards of the Domes Sergiou winery, discussing the work that goes into the vineyards, the difficulties winegrowers face and the support of the CAP. For our final stop we headed to the Domes Sergiou Winery, where we tried a selection of their wines along with a light food pairing using local products and seasonal ingredients over a discussion about agriculture and the wine sector in general. It was an amazing experience, and you should definitely join one of their upcoming tours for a beautiful weekend trip around Cyprus! #LetsSpeakCAP #TasteCyprus #LocalFoodTours #IMCAP #EU

We recently stopped by @fameliamageirio in Larnaca and really enjoyed it! We tried a grilled selection including souvlaki, Cypriot sausage and pastourma and the most amazing fried zucchini, but you can also find a lot of homecooked dishes like keftedes, afelia, louvi and beans. They were also voted one of Cyprus’ 50 best restaurants in 2025 by Wiz Guide! ✨ #restaurant #larnaca #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

Easy Halloumi Pies at Home 🥟✨ Forget the bakery, these homemade halloumottes taste just like yiayia used to make! With simple ingredients and authentic Cypriot halloumi from @kornos_dairy , you’ll have golden, cheesy pies straight out of the oven. Crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy on the inside, and dangerously addictive. Would you make 3 big ones or 4 medium? 👀 Save this recipe and thank me later! 🇨🇾🧀 📝 Ingredients • 250ml water • 50ml oil (sunflower or olive oil) • 1 tsp sugar • 1 tsp salt • 1 tsp baking powder • 1 sachet yeast (7g) • 500g village-style flour • 2 blocks Kornos goat & sheep halloumi (in brine or individual packs) • Dried mint (to taste) 👩‍🍳 Method of Preparation 1. In a bowl (or mixer), add water, oil, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix for 1 minute or whisk by hand. 2. Add mint, baking powder, and flour. Mix for another minute or knead by hand for 2–3 minutes until a dough forms. 3. Cut the halloumi into large cubes and fold into the dough. Mix for 25 seconds or knead until evenly combined. 4. Shape the dough into 3 large or 4 medium balls. (If mixing by hand let the dough rest so the yeast can activate, I used a thermomix at 30°C temp to mix) 5. Place on a tray and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 45 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly, then enjoy warm — crispy outside, soft & cheesy inside #kornosdairy #cypruseats #halloumi

Κάποτε, @i_folia_tou_drakou ήταν το καφενείο ενός παππού και μιας γιαγιάς που εκτοπισμένοι από τον πόλεμο, βρήκαν καταφύγιο στο χωριό Πεντάκωμο και ξεκίνησαν μια νέα ζωή. Χρόνια μετά, τα εγγόνια τους συνεχίζουν την ιστορία με τον δικό τους τρόπο, με μεράκι, αγάπη και σεβασμό στην παράδοση. Ένα μεζεδοπωλείο που δημιουργήθηκε με ψυχή και που αγκαλιάστηκε από τον κόσμο από την πρώτη στιγμή. #tavern #taverna #cyprusfood #cyprustraditional #cypriotfood #cyprus🇨🇾 #cypruslife #cyprusisland #cyprus❤️ #limassol #world_food360 #world_food360villages #cyprusmeze #melini #cyprusvillage #cyprusvillages
