It’s no surprise that our island’s capital city is home to a wealth of places to enjoy breakfast, brunch and lunch - and all of them have something different to offer. Here’s our pick of the best places for brunch in Nicosia.
The Boys at Number Five
Undoubtedly one of the capital’s favourite breakfast-time hangouts. Expect eclectic coffee art, plates piled high with pancake stacks, and a selection of classic brunch dishes. If you’re stopping by between 11.30am and 3.30pm, you’ll also be able to order one of the hearty health bowls - packed full of your choice of grilled meats and vegetables, salads, dressings, garnishes, and more.

Silverpot
This hidden gem is one of Nicosia’s best independent eateries. Serving delicious food and drink for breakfast, brunch, lunch, as well as afternoon tea, it’s the city’s go-to place for a quick bite with friends and family. We love it for the great freshly-ground coffee, generous slices of cakes, and Instagram-worthy patisserie.

Apron Cooking Stories
Nestled in the very heart of the city centre, Apron Cooking Stories is all about simple, healthy wholesome food. From freshly made soups and vibrant salads to pancakes topped with streaky bacon, the ever-changing menus will ensure you begin your day the right way. All the dishes can be paired with proper coffees, refreshing coolers, or a selection of tea.

Zest Coffee + Kitchen
Zest is your go-to for freshly prepared brunches that are packed full of superfoods. The menu changes daily, but you’ll always find a great choice of salads, burgers, and vegan options, too. Think homemade falafel pittas, quinoa salad bowls, and hearty homemade curries. Oh, and a great selection of cakes to finish.
