At Mezostrati taverna in Nicosia, Cypriot meze comes in portions for the whole table, from starters to hot dishes. If you prefer to order separately, there are salads, grilled dishes, pita and desserts. The drinks menu offers choices to go with dinner.

Mezostrati also offers takeaway. The taverna holds music nights, but the programme varies. If you are coming for a performance, ask who is playing and whether to book. For a larger group, check what is included in the meze, how tables are arranged and whether terrace seats are available. If your group has different tastes, compare the meze selection with the main menu.
