Good food, lots of it and reasonably priced.
The old buiding that the tavern resides in gives it a lot of character and then add thta to the atmosphere.
My review
Plaka is one of my favorite meze taverns in Cyprus. I have been going there since I was a young child, at least 30 years, maybe longer.
Plaka serves a classic meat meze - about 30 plates of different meat, pasta and vegetable specialties. The food is among the best in Nicosia for this sort of thing and the atmosphere can't be beat - in the summer, you are in the small town square in Engomi, sitting in the traffic circle more or less; in the summer, you are eating in a quaint traditional old house.
Highly recommended
flavorful food, helpful and efficient staff, pleasant atmosphere
Plaka Tavern is a restaurant, serving traditional Cypriot food. When I went, I was with a group of six and we ordered meze. A plate of meze is 20 euro per person. It was completely worth the 20 euro as the food was unique and very flavorful. I enjoyed the meze at Plaka Tavern because I got a variety of renowned traditional food, that tasted very good. This included, chicken, lamb, beef, salads, pasta, etc. While 20 euro may seem like a lot, you are paying for multiple dishes, coming in large portions. Meze comes out in at least four courses and by the end I was stuffed.
Plaka tavern offered a variety of fruit and a pastry for desert. The fruit was fresh but I did not like the pastry. While the breading was good, it was filled with a cheese that was not for me. Even so, i would still get the fuit platter because of the variety of fruit. It was a good touch to the end of the meal.
I strongly recommend Plaka Tavern. The food has strong tastes and the staff is very friendly. They were helpful to our requests and the food came quickly. Also, Plaka Tavern has outdoor seating, which creates a pleasant atmosphere. Overall, my meal at Plaka Tavern was an excellent experience.
