North Nicosia (Lefkoşa)


Reservations are recommended to dine on the meze in this former mansion of a wealthy Armenian, where meals are served in a leafy courtyard or in a choice of two elegant dining rooms. During our last visit, the restaurant was closed for restoration, but we're assured it should be back open soon.
