Blu Ciel is a restaurant and bar at 40D Vironos Avenue in central Nicosia, overlooking the linear park along the Pedieos River. The menu draws on European, Mediterranean and Cypriot cooking, with starters, salads, burgers, salmon and grilled meat. Stop for a light lunch or order a main course with a glass of wine.

The bar serves Cypriot and imported wines, cocktails and alcohol-free drinks. It has hosted live music; if you plan to come in the evening or catch a performance, check the programme, kitchen hours and table availability in advance. Ask the bartender about the wines and cocktails available that day.
