A hidden garden in the heart of Larnaca, where the meze keeps coming.

Greek and Cypriot cooking under the bougainvillea, a short walk down an alley off Zinonos Kitieos. It really doesn't feel like you're in the centre of town.

Baklava, a glass of Commandaria, and the lights in the trees. Nobody rushes you here.

C. P. Cavafy, Ithaka, 1911

Σα βγεις στον πηγαιμό για την Ιθάκη, να εύχεσαι νάναι μακρύς ο δρόμος, γεμάτος περιπέτειες, γεμάτος γνώσεις.

"When you set out for Ithaka, wish for the road to be long, full of adventures, full of knowledge." The poem opens our menu. The journey ends here, at the table.
