Restaurants will certainly become an important part of your holidays in Cyprus. 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.

Eating at traditional tavernas is a must-do; unquestionably one of the best experiences to be had in Cyprus. Both serve the hearty, deeply flavourful dishes based on the precepts that have governed Cypriot cooking for centuries: fresh, seasonal ingredients, lots of extra virgin olive oil, local cheeses and a few fragrant herbs and spices.

Check out our Cyprus Yellow Pages to find the restaurants your looking for, whether a steak house in Ayia Napa, a typical cypriot taverna in Lefkosia ( Nicosia ), a Japanese Restaurant in Pafos (Paphos), an Indian restaurant in Lemesos (Limassol) or an Italian pizzeria in Larnaka.

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.
