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!

This Greek burger with a creamy feta sauce, you’ll want to make again and again for BBQ season!
You can get everything you need to make this at @foodhaus.cy
Ingredients (serves 2):
2 foodhaus traditional Greek burgers
2 sesame buns
1 tomato
300gr Sliced Sautees potatoes
Feta sauce:
100 gr Chorio Feta
70 gr yoghurt
2 roasted red florina peppers
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tsp honey
2 tbsp lemon juice
Pickled onions:
1 big red onion
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 lemons
Start by thinly slicing the red onion and adding it into a small container with the apple cider vinegar and lemon juice. Leave it in the fridge for at least one hour before serving.
To make the feta sauce add all the ingredients into a food processor and mix until smooth.
While the fries are cooking, grill the burgers and assemble by spreading a generous amount of the feta sauce into the burger buns, adding the burgers, tomato slices and topping with some pickled onions. Enjoy!

Κόβουμε σε λεπτές φέτες το κόκκινο κρεμμύδι και το προσθέτουμε σε ένα μικρό δοχείο μαζί με το μηλόξιδο και το χυμό λεμονιού. Αφήνουμε στο ψυγείο για τουλάχιστον μία ώρα πριν το σερβίρισμα.
Για τη σάλτσα φέτας, προσθέτουμε όλα τα υλικά σε ένα επεξεργαστή τροφίμων και ανακατεύουμε μέχρι να ομογενοποιηθούν.
Ενώ ψήνονται οι πατάτες, ψήνουμε τα μπιφτέκια στη σχάρα και συναρμολογούμε το burger απλώνοντας μια γενναιόδωρη ποσότητα σάλτσας φέτας στα ψωμάκια, προσθέτουμε τα μπιφτέκια, τις φέτες ντομάτας και τελειώνουμε με μερικά κρεμμύδια τουρσί. Enjoy!

#ad If you are only baking one tsoureki this Easter, it should be this soft brioche-style one filled with a rich pistachio praline and topped with dark chocolate!
If you want a more traditional Greek tsoureki you can definitely add some orange zest, mahleb or mastic but we think that the vanilla flavoring works best!
You can get everything you need to make this at @foodhaus.cy
Ingredients:
300 gr. all purpose flour
2.5 tsp yeast
60 ml warm milk
50 gr sugar
115-125 ml eggs (approx. 2 medium eggs)
1.5 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
70 gr butter
Pistachio praline (or any other praline)
Dark chocolate
To make tsoureki you’ll need a stand mixer as you have to kneed it for 35’ to develop the right texture. Technically you can do it by hand but it will definitely be a workout!
Start by mixing the yeast, warm milk and one tsp of sugar in the mixer bowl. Let the yeast mixture rise for 15’ and add the remaining sugar, eggs and flour. Mix at low speed for 10’, until everything is well combined. Cut the butter in small cubes and gradually add it in the dough while mixing in between for another 20’. The dough should be smooth and not sticking to the sides.
Let the dough rest in the bowl covered with cling film and a kitchen towel until it doubles in size. This can take around 2-3 hours depending on the temperature.
When the dough has doubled in size punch the air out and bring the sides together a few times until smooth. Cut it in three equal pieces and roll into three logs, bring the ends together and braid.
Line a cake pan with parchment paper and place your tsoureki inside. Cover again with cling film and a kitchen towel and leave it to rise again until it doubles in size. This should take another 1 hour.
Brush the brioche gently with leftover egg wash (if you forgot to set aside some of the egg you can also use milk).
Bake uncovered for 15’ at 180°C and then cover with foil and bake for another 20’ (35’ in total). The brioche should be golden brown.
Take the brioche out of the pan to cool for 45’ before slicing. Cut in the middle and add a generous amount of pistachio praline. Melt some dark chocolate and spread it on top. Enjoy!

On Monday we had the pleasure of visiting Porto Ydra, Limassol’s newest Greek-inspired seafood restaurant before its official launch date and we can already tell it has amazing vibes and really promising food!
The open-plan kitchen in the middle of the restaurant made for an amazing viewing experience and gave the impression of dinning at home with friends!
We can’t wait to see what @burovburov and his team will cook up next!

You've probably heard about ERGON Agora before, but in case you haven't visited yet it is a hybrid food hall that combines a grocery and a restaurant.
It's a concept we love since a lot of the ingredients they use for their dishes come straight from their grocery store!
We visited the one located in the center of Thessaloniki and it certainly did not disappoint with its delicious food and laid-back atmosphere 😊
We tried:
- Zucchini fritters with feta, fresh herbs & tzatziki
- Arugula salad with grilled seasonal fruit almonds, raisin sauce and goat cheese
- Pork chops marinated in mustard & honey
- Nymfi Beer 🍻

Located in a neoclassical building in the heart of Pasalimani in Piraeus, @belleamiepiraeus beautifully combines the past with the present, offering daily Greek flavors for brunch, lunch or dinner!
During the summer you can also enjoy amazing coctails in the restaurant's beautiful summer yard!
We visited for a late brunch in their beautiful garden during a hot summer day, and it did not disappoint! ❤
