Tsipouraki Mezedaki — Restaurant in Nicosia

Food was amazing! I’ve had a lot of greek food before and never had anything like the baked honey feta (€6.80)— something to write home about! We did not end up ordering their mezze but kind of built our own from their menu: tzatziki (€3.80) was so thick and delicious! Greek salad (€7.80) was very fresh and had local tomatoes.

We had to ask for salt and lemon, which should have been a common sense to take to tables when you served the starters. The portions are relatively small compared to other places. It’s decent...

Mix of good food and live music at very traditional taverna

This taverna is exceptionally good for its relaxed ambience, with traditional wicker chairs and wooden furniture, arched ceilings... The live band playing only 'Rembetika' (style of time-honoured 'soft' Greek music that was underground several decades ago) is masterful and dignified - the voice of the lady singer is mellow bass, not the usual shrill. The food consists of (very) small portions of à la carte dishes (so choose wisely and it may not put a hole in your pocket whilst leaving you hungry), mostly meaty but with some veggie drizzles, all traditionally cooked in Greek by...
