Mezostrati Tavern

Nicosia (Lefkosia)


This bustling contemporary-style tavern does big meze spreads (minimum two people) with live music thrown in for the full experience. This is not the place to come for a quiet dinner. It's always loud and always fun. If your waistband really can't take another meze feast, Mazostrati also has an à la carte menu.
