With art prints and photos covering the walls, and shelves weighed down with bric-a-brac, Art Cafe 1900 is by far Larnaka’s most atmospheric dining choice. Dine on stuffed cabbage leaves or stifado (stew made with beef or rabbit and onions, simmered in vinegar and wine) then head downstairs to the cosy bar for a few beers.
