Kathodon

Cypriot meze

A lively meze house on Ledra Street where live Greek and Cypriot music keeps tables singing late into the evening. It is louder and more boisterous than a village tavern, but the atmosphere on a busy night is one of old Nicosia's great experiences.

Our take

Why Kathodon makes the list

Kathodon is one of the reasons Nicosia makes our list at all — a lively meze house on Ledra Street where live Greek and Cypriot music keeps tables singing late into the evening. It is louder and more boisterous than a village tavern, but the atmosphere on a busy night is one of old Nicosia's great experiences.

With 4.5 stars from 1,637 Google reviews (checked September 2026), it is one of the better-rated places in Nicosia on Google.

What to order & what to expect

The thing to order: meze with live music. This is traditional Cypriot eating: charcoal, clay ovens, village wine and plates meant for sharing. Come hungry — meze here is a marathon, not a sprint.

Where it is & when to go

Kathodon is in Ledra Street, old town, Nicosia. Nicosia’s old city, ringed by its Venetian star-shaped walls, is where the capital eats and drinks — Ledra and Onasagorou streets and the lanes off them, a world away from the business districts outside the walls. Cypriots eat late; go from about 8pm for the full atmosphere, and book ahead on summer weekends — good tavernas fill with local families, which is exactly the sign you want.
