Spend a Day in Nicosia: Hidden Food Gem Edition

Note these down for your summer foodie explorations

There’s a special kind of magic in Nicosia during summer—sunlit streets, slow afternoons, and a food scene that quietly steals the spotlight. If you’re looking to go beyond the obvious, this curated trail of hidden gems is exactly where your cravings should lead.


🌅 Start Sweet

Ease into your morning at Hurricane Bakery, where delicate pastries and rich coffee set the tone for the day. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to linger.

Then make your way to steskoroues—a low-key favorite serving up traditional flavors with a homemade feel. Simple, authentic, and quietly unforgettable.


🌿 Keep It Fresh

For a lighter, feel-good stop, obo.kitchen delivers vibrant, nourishing dishes that don’t compromise on flavor.

Switch things up at Avo Armenian Food, where bold spices and street food classics bring a whole new dimension to your food journey.


🍽️ Midday Musts

Lean into tradition at Mathaios Restaurant, where hearty Cypriot dishes remind you why comfort food always wins.

Or go modern at beba restaurant, a stylish spot redefining local cuisine with a creative twist.


🍷 Meze Hour

Summer evenings call for sharing, and To Apomero is the perfect place to start—laid-back, welcoming, and full of flavor.

Continue with Topika Meze Bar, where each plate feels like a celebration of Cypriot ingredients.

For something lively, Tsipouraki Mezedaki brings energy, great bites, and that unmistakable local buzz.


🌃 End on a High

Wrap up your day with a touch of Italy at Balza Nicosia or Nonna Rosa—both perfect for a relaxed, satisfying dinner.


✨ Final Note

If you’re planning your summer around food (as you should), these are the spots to have on your radar. Nicosia’s hidden culinary scene is rich, diverse, and waiting to be explored—one bite at a time.
