Souvla to sushi.

If summer had a flavour, it would probably taste like this. ✨🌞 Topika Meze Bar's new summer menu brings together fresh ingredients, creative twists and comforting Mediterranean flavours. The shrimp saganaki tart was unforgettable, the cucumber & zucchini salad was the refreshing element every table needs, and the pistachio tiramisu was the perfect ending to the evening.💚 Definitely one to add to your Nicosia food bucket list. 📍Topika Meze Bar | Nicosia

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. ❤️‍🔥

We still have a good few months of summer weather in Cyprus, making it the perfect time for outdoors dinner dates! A few weeks ago we tried the summer menu of @topikamezebar and it did not disappoint. This is everything we got: - Kibbeh-style homemade flatbread (our favorite of the night, full of flavor and the one we’d order again without thinking) - Watermelon dakos with feta and spearmint ice cream (refreshing and different, especially for summer) - Prawn souvlaki (grilled just right, nothing too heavy) - Grilled calamari (simple, well cooked) - Lemony courgette skioufikta (fresh and bright, with that lemon kick that keeps you going back for more) - Dry-aged Cypriot bon filet (tender and rich, more classic) - Shiamishi cream (light dessert to finish off the meal) Overall, it felt like a menu that really works for summer. If you do go, definitely don’t skip the flatbread and the shiamishi cream! #nicosia #restaurant #food #foodie

ΤΟΠΙΚΑ Meze Bar is the perfect spot to enjoy delicious Mediterranean fusion dishes, in a sharing style, along with unique cocktails in the center of Nicosia! 🍹 They regularly update their menu with new dishes, and sometimes bring back some old favorites! This was our second time visiting TOPIKA and we can honestly say that it's a place that consistently delivers delicious food using locally sourced ingredients! A must-visit in Nicosia in our opinion. Here's everything we tried this time around: • Autumn Salad: carrot, beetroot, kolhrabi, cabbage, raisings. smoked almonds, sweet-and-sour dressing - very refreshing and at the same time autumn-appropriate • Cheese loukoumades: mosfilo jam with lavender, sun-dried tomato, chili, poppy seed - tastes exactly like a loukoumas with a cheesy filling plus an added sweetness from the mosfilo jam • Open Meat Pie: minced beef and lamb sweet potato puree, mature cheddar, yoghurt sauce inside a crispy fillo - if you only try one dish from here, make sure it's this one! • Sea bass ceviche: coconut & lime sorbet, pickled cucumber, pomegranate, spicy leche, sweet potato crisps - we especially loved the addition of the sorbet from @laglacerie_cyprus and the crispiness from the sweet potato crisps • Prawn burger: horseradish mayonnaise, beetroot ketchup, wasabi crisps • Dry-aged Cypriot 'Bon fillet' with potato croquette & mushroom purée -cooked to perfection and perfectly matched with the side dishes We also tried several of their cocktails and they were all delicious! #TopikaMeze #NicosiaRestaurants #Nicosia #Cyprus |Meze Bar, Nicosia, Cyprus, Restaurants, Food|

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

Probably the most beautiful restaurant I’ve been to so far! @balthazar_athens is located in a stunning, unique neoclassical 1897 mansion with an impressive yard that make this place one of a kind! Our very well known Cypriot chef @peskias is the person behind each culinary creation! He created two separate menus - the Mediterranean and the Sushi menu! We started our dinner with an amazing Carpaccio sea bass, served with toasted bread and let me tell you the combination of both was divine! We also had the salad with strawberries and Gorgonzola dressing and some edamame - both were far from ordinary. For mains we had the Balthazar Sushi Combo which had tuna maki, smoked salmon roll, seabass nigiri, tuna & mango roll and rock shrimp roll which was absolutely delicious. With or without an appetite, this is a must place to visit in Athens as they also serve amazing cocktails which you can enjoy by chilling in the beautiful yard and taking in the cool vibe that this place gives you as soon as you walk in! #balthazar #athens #athensrestaurants #athensrestaurant #athensgreece #athensvibe #athensfood #athensfoodie #athenscity #athenslife #greekfoodlovers #greekfood #greekfoodblogger #greekfoodporn #greekfoods #greekfoodie #greekfoodblog #greecefood #dolmadakia #world_food360

It is without a doubt the best Restaurant that we have visited in Serifos and it should be your number one choice when visiting this Island! @axinos_serifos is located in Livadi, right next to the sea serving Mediterranean dishes made to perfection! Started our dinner with the yummiest salad, the Cycladitic Salad and the delicious fresh mussels with lemongrass! For mains we had the Shrimp Pasta and sea bream fillet with cauliflower cream! And let me tell you that it was the best Shrimp Pasta of my life!!!! Finished our lovely dinner with the very best way! The heavenly Ice Cream Ekmek with tsoureki and white chocolate cream!!! #serifos #serifosisland #serifos_greece #shrimp #prawn #prawns🍤 #prawnpasta #seafoodpasta #pastalover #pasta #pastapasta #pastawithprawns #world_food360 #greecestagram #greekfoodporn #seafoodporn #greekislands #greecetravel

Located in the beautiful Kolonaki square @zurbaran_athens is an all-day bar restaurant serving Mediterranean food. Chefs @georgianna_hiliadaki @thomasmatsas and @vasilisampatzidis have created an outstanding menu to satisfy your pallet to the maximum.

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 #🇨🇾

Who loves Lebanese cuisine? 🙋🏻‍♂️ @bayrootcy is a new choice for authentic Lebanese with bold flavours and unique dishes you won't find anywhere else. Must try the kibbeh (similar to our kouppa) and the Garlic potatoes. The crunchy pitta with mince lamb is another awesome dish to add on your order 🤤 P.S. Dont forget to add those cheesy rolls thingies 😋 #lebanesefood #medditeraneanfood

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
