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

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|

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 #🇨🇾

When in festive mode....we create! 🎉 5 TIPS for creating the perfect platter: 1. Use an appropriately sized platter or board 2. Dips in mini bowls or items in sauce or oil, all have their place on an entertaining platter 3. Make little dishes to accompany your platter - place your hero items such as cheeses, bunches of fruit, and any bowls around the plate first then start to fill in the spaces with medium items like crackers and dried fruit and finally follow with smaller bits and pieces like nuts, herbs, berries, small vegetables and even chocolate to cover any gap 4. Don’t be afraid to play around with texture and colour - it draws the eye around the board. 5. Mix and match your flavours to create the board that suits your palate #cheeseplatter #cheeseplatters #platterideas #platter #plattersoftheworld #cheese #cheeseboard #cheeselover #cheeselove #cheeselovers #foodtoshare #minibites #foodbloggers #instafood #instagood #festivemode #world_food360 #cyprus #cheeseboard #cheeseboards #homemadefood #homemadecooking #homemade #meze #foodideas #foodphotography
