Everywhere we went in Cyprus whether it be on the boardwalk of Larnaca Beach or feet away from the border crossing in Nicosia had amazing food that was often far cheaper and far more filling than any restaurant I had been to in the United States. While in Cyprus I found myself eating out almost every night which is something I typically avoid when I’m back home because of the price that comes with eating out in the U.S. and during our stay in Larnaca I also found myself trying a number of items I had never heard of before such as Sheftalies and Halloumi cheese both of which I really enjoyed. Beyond just being cheaper to eat out in Cyprus I felt you almost exclusively got more food for the price than you would at any comparable place in the U.S. and for less then $10 a person you will be surprised to see how much food you will be getting. Even though the boardwalk and beach beside our apartments were obviously more tourist centered, the prices and portions at many of these restaurants made them some of my favorites. In my opinion some of the best restaurants along the boardwalk beside our apartments were the Tuck Inn restaurant and the Kalamaki Bar, both of which offer a good selection of Greek and Mediterranean food. The further away you get from the beach and tourist locations the better the prices and portions you’ll find and the restaurants surrounding Terra Ombra are a clear indication of this as there are multiple restaurants that provide both massive and cheap meals within the surrounding area.
