items I’ve been told that there are only a few real places in Cyprus where you will find good food by quite the group of people while growing up here in Cyprus. Of course that’s not true! I am from nicosia, but you will find places from all of greek Cyprus

The largest section, as alike most Cypriots I don’t fancy driving my car for longer than 30 minutes
An unusual twist on Greek kitchen. There is always a second menus with seasonal items like wild Cyprus mushrooms in wine in winter. They have a cozy atmosphere with sitting areas both outside (with heaters) and indoors.
KUZUBA
Asian fusion that does not disappoint. Stylish atmosphere and elegant big city vibe. This place is always overrun by people so make sure you reserve a table in advance. I recommend the king oyster mushroom and the plata cocktail
Tocayo — Cesoro Group
Another restaurant with a Mediterranean twist and an asian feel. Definitely try the cocktails and their tataki

Not a meat eater myself, but my family who love meat say they have the best steak in Nicosia. Fresh and not dry. I go for salads and the cocktails usually. Personally recommend trying their take on the traditional Greek salad.
Henrys
Greekish - Italian. Fresh produce and the menu depends on what is the chef felt like buying and making. The staff and the owners are very friendly as well. I recommend trying the fish of the day (you can be sure that that fish was still swimming in ...

One of the best tavernas in Nicosia. This is the restaurant to try authentic Cyprus cuisine
Piatsa Gourounaki
I must say that this is the best Lebanese restaurant here in Nicosia. Some people say that Sawa or Lebanese club is better, but the food here is top quality, better than the other places I’ve been to. The servers are patient and very professional. I ...

Best for drinks
For when you fancy a good drink either by yourself or with friends or even something more
Good cocktails, good vibes. Slightly pricey but has a big city bar vibe to it that makes me return whenever I want to escape the Nicosia village. There is a large variety of drinks which can be paired with nice food. Not to mention that this place fr...

Beautiful, cozy and tasty experience every single time!
I keep returning to Ukiyo every time I crave an intimate ambiance, tasty affordable asian ‘street food’, great drinks and awesome music. And Ukiyo always delivers!
The music and sound system in ...
Ukiyo Listening Bar
Coffee
Some may disagree with me, but I do not like the Cypriot coffee one bit. These places have a much more European vibe and if they are on the list, they must have good coffee
Great specialty coffee spot in Nicosia serving single origin beans from St espresso roasters of London. Very attentive service and top notch hospitality. The owners are massive coffee enthusiasts who are very happy to answer any and all questions you...
