Γεύση Παράδωσης
Μια διάσημη παραδοσιακή συνήθεια φαγητού είναι οι μεζέδες. Ένας γιορτασμός για τις αισθήσεις, που συνδυάζει μια ποικιλία μικρών, γευστικών πιάτων που προορίζονται να μοιραστούν και να απολαυστούν με φίλους και οικογένεια. Η λέξη “μεζές” προέρχεται από το περσικό “maza,” που σημαίνει γεύση ή εδέσματος. Ένας τυπικός μεζές περιλαμβάνει τόσο ζεστά όσο και κρύα πιάτα. Αν σας προτείνουν να δοκιμάσετε μεζέ, θυμηθείτε ότι δεν πρόκειται μόνο για φαγητό, αλλά για κοινή απόλαυση, γέλια και δημιουργία αναμνήσεων. Εμβαθύνετε στην γευστική ιστορία της κυπριακής και ελληνικής κουζίνας και ανακαλύψτε ταβέρνες με ζεστή φιλοξενία και παραδοσιακά πιάτα που θα σας ταξιδέψουν στον χρόνο.
Προσοχή, ταξιδιώτες: αφήστε τα σχέδια διατροφής σας πίσω, καθώς πιθανόν να υποκύψουν στη γοητεία της λευκωσιακής κουζίνας.
Zanettos, Mezostrati, Odofragma, Palaia Elia, Stou Oresti και To Istorikon.
Επιπλέον Συμβουλή! Αν δεν σας ενδιαφέρει μια μεγάλη ποικιλία μεζέ πιάτων, επισκεφτείτε το Christakis Kebab House και την Evroulla.
Για παραδοσιακές συνταγές της γιαγιάς, δοκιμάστε το Mathaios Restaurant και την Ταβέρνα St. George Tavern.
