Known for Souvla & grilled meats.
A lively, always-packed taverna built around the souvla and grill with a social buzz. That reputation is why Piatsa Gourounaki earned its place among our curated picks for Nicosia.
A 4.5-star average across well over a thousand public reviews puts it firmly on the shortlist for Nicosia.
The thing to order: souvla & grilled meats. 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.
Piatsa Gourounaki is in Stasikratous area, 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.
