Dining Out in Northern Cyprus

Northern Cyprus will offer a superb selection of restaurants at great value for your money. You will experience that the service is very friendly and welcoming wherever you go and that nothing is ever too much....

Eating places range from small restaurants to first-class restaurants. Smaller restaurants throughout Northern Cyprus serve delicious local dishes whereas larger restaurants and first-class restaurants serve more European and International dishes with a small selection of local dishes.

Most restaurant owners, waiters and waitresses know sufficient English, French or/and German. It is best to have enough TL on you when at smaller restaurants, as these restaurants unlike the larger restaurants may not provide credit card facilities.

For those who enjoy Mediterranean cuisine, North Cyprus is the place to be. But for those who prefer European and International dishes there is a wide variety available. Most restaurants will cater for children and vegetarians, therefore you needn’t worry

Turkish Cypriot Cuisine

Specialties…
The traditional Meze & Full Kebab, which consists of a variety of cold and hot appetizer, salads, meats, vegetables and fish dishes followed by şiş kebab, chicken kebab, lamb chops and kofte, is the most popular tourist attraction along with typical local dishes such as doner kebab, sheftali kebab, kleftico, molehiya, dolma, kolakas and bumbar. The island offers a great selection of fresh fish dishes all served with fresh salads and Cypriot potato chips “real chips “. The “hellim” cheese, which is famous for not melting when fried, is one not to be missed.

Drinks....
All meals are neatly assisted by the local’s most popular drinks Zivaniya which is described locally as Fire Water and Raki described as Lion Milk. Of course locally produced Cin, Vodka, Brandy, Whisky and Rum are popular too and very reasonably priced. Be aware that all drinks in North Cyprus are dbl shots...even trp !!!

Desserts...
Sini katmer, ekmek kadayıf, tel kayayıf, fruit macun, turkish delight and baklava are the specials along with fresh fruits, nuts and honey & marmalades.

Turkish Coffee & Cyprus Brandy....
A tasty meal never ends before sipping a delightful Turkish coffee. Turkish Coffee is served in a tiny cup. The cup is small but the taste is strong. Turkish Coffee is available as sade (No sugar), az sekerli (little sugar), orta (medium) or sekerli (sweet). The sugar is added to the coffee and cooked together – therefore please do not be surprised when sugar is asked before and not during service. Cyprus Brandy will crown your meal alongside your Turkish coffee...
