Meze
Once sampled, never forgotten: meze is a delicious and sociable way to enjoy a wide vari-
ety of different foods and flavours. In general you should expect around 30 small dishes,
starting with familiar favourites such as hummus, tzatziki, taramasalata and vegetables pre-
pared with lashings of garlic, lemon and olive oil. Next to arrive is the wide range of tradi-
tional fish and meat dishes, like calamari (squid) and
sheftalia
(grilled sausage). It all adds
up to a lot of food, so
siga, siga
(slowly, slowly) does it. A longtime favourite place to
sample meze is at
Zanettos Taverna
in Nicosia (Lefkosia).
