Holidays in Cyprus will certainly include one or more visits
to a local restaurant or taverna. If you're new to cypriot
food and curious to explore the cypriot cuisine as much as
possible, order a meze (short for mezedhes). You may be served
up to 30 - depending on the restaurant - different small dishes
so in one meal you'll know basically what cypriot food is
about.
Wine production in Cyprus is a tradition of over 4000 years
old. Still many villagers and some monasteries produce their
own wine which is served in tavernas outside the tourist areas.
The most ancient and famous wine in Cyprus is Commendaria,
a sweet dessert wine.
In the cities like Pafos, Lemesos ( Limassol ), Ayia Napa
and Lefkosia ( Nicosia ) almost any type of restaurant is
represented: a large number of Italian restaurants, Chinese
restaurants, International cuisine and some Japanese restaurants,
Indian and Mexican restaurants for example.

your looking for, whether a steak house in Ayia Napa, a typical
cypriot taverna in Lefkosia ( Nicosia ) or an Italian pizzeria
in Larnaka.
