Eating Out in Cyprus
Eating out in Cyprus can be daunting, because with each new village or region you visit there’s such a huge selection of restaurants, cafes and tavernas that your head might spin.
Once you find that perfect restaurant in Cyprus, you then have to pick something to eat off a Cypriot menu where everything sounds amazing. In this situation, order the Meze! With the Meze, you get it all! The Meze is short for Mezedhes, or little delicacies. It’s a sampling of all the best flavors of the island in one. Up to 30 different dishes of Cyprus! But enjoy the Meze “siga siga”, or slowly slowly, cause it’s a lot of food.
Don’t forget some great Greek classics when dining out in Cyprus, like the Taramosalata. It’s a fish roe creamed in pureed potato with lemon, parsley, and onion. Enjoy the Talatouri, a cucumber and cool mint flavored creamy yogurt. If you’re a traditionalist, you can’t go wrong with the Greek Salad!
