There is an amazing lack of information
on restaurants in Nicosia online, and most of the sites which have information
seem to be touting the Northern Cyprus agenda. We've provided some of
Nicosia's best dining here, to try and alleviate your concerns and to
help you not waste your money on bad food…
One thing that Nicosia does best is
local flavored cuisines from around the world. There are top notch Indian,
Chinese, and especially Italian restaurants all over the city.
For a taste of Cypriot cuisine, the
old fashioned Greek way, head over to the restaurants and tourist area
of Plateia Eleftherias (everyone knows where it is). The area is set
in Nicosia's historic old city (though steer clear of the "caberet"
district) and features a pedestrian walkway with numerous shops, restauarants
and cafes/bars. You must spend one of your Nicosia days here, and finish
it with one of the delicious restaurants in the area. Most are fantastic,
and for some reason, the specialty in Cyprus seems to be Pepper Steak
- each restaurant does it differently, but it should not be missed.
When dining in this area, you will
inevitably be joined by one of the restaurant's staff. Do not take this
as a scam, or anything more than a very friendly and cordial culture
- which it is. Do not be surprised if you find yourself drinking Ouzo
late into the night and being serenaded by an old man with a bazouki.
Many restaurants are closed on Mondays
and Sundays.
Our Web site features reviews of three
other Nicosian restaurants which should not be missed:
Milano
Restaurant
This down home Italian
restaurant features some of Cyprus' best prepared pasta and meat dishes
set in a low-key yet elegant casual setting.
Toronto
Pizza
You must ask around
where the nearest Toronto pizza is, and have one delivered to your hotel
room or villa immediately.
Abu
Faysal
Abu Faysal is the cream
of the crop in Lebanese and Middle Eastern food in Nicosia, and is another
hometown favorite.
