For many, the most memorable thing about a holiday is the food. Here in Cyprus, we’re fortunate to have plenty of great restaurants that offer authentic Cypriot cooking. Here are some of the best places to sample traditional Mediterranean flavours.
Voreas Tavern is one of the island’s stand-out traditional restaurants. The old house and its charming little courtyard can be found in the heart of Oroklini village, not far from Larnaca. And with plenty of delicious meze dishes to choose from, freshly grilled meat dishes, and even live music events, it’s the ideal choice for those in search of good Cypriot food at a great price.
This vibrant local kebab house is the go-to place for delicious grilled meats, salads, and small plates. Fast, fresh, and with a great atmosphere, it’s everything a traditional Cypriot restaurant should be. Plus, you’ll always find delicious sweet pastry dishes up for grabs if you still have room.
Tucked away in a secluded side street, just a short walk from the beach, this traditional taverna is a real hidden gem. Expect rustic, home-style cooking, small wooden tables and checkered tablecloths, and a friendly welcome. The menu features a selection of small plates and meze, as well as generously-sized authentic meat and vegetarian dishes.
With its high ceilings, flagstone floors, and traditional terracotta serving plates, Agia Anna Tavern is all about wholesome Cypriot dining. You’ll always find a wide selection of dishes packed with fresh ingredients and authentic Mediterranean flavours. Plus, the team regularly hosts live music nights.
Unlike some of the island’s other traditional tavernas, Pantepoleio Kali Orexi has a more modern, elegant feel. Serving up a whole host of authentic Greek and Mediterranean dishes alongside daily specials, it's become renowned as one of the most popular restaurants in Nicosia for lunch and dinner.
