Seven St. Georges Tavern
In the village of Yeroskipou, George cooks from his own garden and forages the rest. No menu, just what is in season: wild greens, pickled capers and slow-cooked meats.

Φαγητό
Cypriot food is slow by design: mezze that arrives in waves, kleftiko cooked overnight, halloumi still warm from the grill. These are the tavernas we send friends to.

Zanettos Taverna
Serving mezze since 1938 in the same old-town house. Order the full meze and let the sheftalia, halloumi and koupepia arrive at their own pace.

Fish Tavernas of Zygi
A fishing village 25 minutes west of Larnaca where the tavernas sit on the harbour. Order a fish meze and whatever came in that morning.

Riverside Tavernas of Kakopetria
An old village of stone houses on the Karkotis river, where the tavernas serve fresh trout, kleftiko and mountain wine on terraces under the plane trees.

Ayia Napa harbour tavernas
The working end of the town. The fishing boats still come in here, the tavernas are on the quay above them, and a fish meze eaten at the harbour is a different evening entirely from one eaten on the strip.
