Sabor
Right next to Selimiye Mosque, this is decidedly North Nicosia's trendiest restaurant. Stylish wooden tables inside are surrounded by leather sofas in the lounge area; colourful lamps swing low; fashion photos adorn the walls. The large terrace is on the square, and on Wednesdays and Fridays there is live jazz piano music.
Its excellent Italian and Spanish food is especially good for those days when you can't take another kebab, although there are oriental-style noodles too, and the prices are surprisingly low. The espresso and cappuccino are just right.

Boghjalian
Housed in the former mansion of a wealthy Armenian, the Boghjalian is a quality restaurant and very popular in town. The set menu consists of either meze or mixed kebab. Food is served in a leafy courtyard. This place is almost always full for dinner and particularly for lunch, when visitors cross over from the South, especially as it's close to the Ledra Palace Hotel crossing point.

Sedirhan Café
This is the best place to eat Turkish ravioli, while you admire the beauty of the Büyük Han - the Sedirhan is in its courtyard. You can also have a coffee or a beer, and eat some börek (meat or cheese rolled in thin pastry). On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the inn is a concert venue for (usually free) live music and the café stays open late.

Konak
This traditional restaurant sits next to Sabor and is decorated in the Ottoman style. It has a large garden, full of plants and flowers, and upstairs there is a wooden veranda and small coves for romantic dining. The food is eclectic: there is pasta, pizza, salads and kebabs, just take your pick.

Saray Roof
On the top of the Saray hotel, and commanding the best views of the city, this place is great for an evening cocktail. Unfortunately, the Turkish and 'European' food is unremarkable. The view is what you pay for, and you get to watch the city lights twinkle in the night.
