Meze Taverna

Lemesos (Limassol)


This charming family-run taverna is a timeless classic serving up a traditional comfort-food menu of Greek dishes. Expect uncomplicated, fresh flavours in classics such as moussaka, or go for the old-school meze. Gracious service, red-and-white checked tablecloths and jugs of (just about drinkable) local wine complete the picture. Not to mention the steady stream of regulars.
