Mousikos Tavern

Cyprus


This stone-cut house built in the 1930s, and its large outdoor courtyard, gets chock-a-block with diners on summer evenings. The meze (minimum two people) is what you're here for, and as well as the usual parade of dishes, stand-outs include homemade haloumi and delectable pourekia (pastries stuffed with anari cheese and doused in honey) to finish. Bookings advised.
