The Cypriot kitchen is a tasteful and exciting experience. The food have strong colors and much fresh ingredients. The food have a lot in common with the Greek kitchen but is also inspired from the Turkish kitchen which makes the Cypriot kitchen a exciting mix of the smaller Asian and Balkan food.
We recommend the Cypriot Meze (Greek for mixed) which is a orgy in food with between 15-25 dishes. There is different kinds of Meze. You can have Fish, Meat or a mixed Meze, depending on the type of restaurant. |
