Go to Larnaca (Cyprus)

The best Meze-Restaurants

One of the highlights of a visit to Cyprus is eating in a Cypriot taverna. The most popular dish on the island is "meze", which consists of a seemingly endless succession of small traditional dishes. We introduce you to five restaurants in the south-east of the island and wish you "kali orexi", bon appétit

Inside the Restaurant

For a real piece of Cypriot cuisine and culture, you should not miss this taverna. It is located in a 150-year-old village house, and there is live music on Fridays and Saturdays.
