Nicosia Tavernes - Zanettos

Η ταβέρνα λειτουργεί στη οδό Τρικούπη 65 από το 1938. Ο Σάββας Ζανέττος από τη Λακατάμια ο οποίος γεννήθηκε στις 24 Ιουλίου 1882 επιστρέφοντας από την Αμερική οπού ήταν μετανάστης άνοιξε μια μπακαλοταβέρνα στη οδό Τρικούπη 65 στη εντός των τειχών πόλη με τη ονομασία ‘Ταβέρνα Ζανέττος’. Πωλούσε είδη παντοπωλείου (παστά κρέατα και ψαριά, κονσέρβες, οινοπνευματώδη ποτά, όσπρια κτλ). Στον ίδιο χώρο σέρβιρε και ποτό (κονιάκ και κρασί) αλλά και τους μεζέδες του. Λίγα τραπεζάκια στα πρώτα χρονιά της λειτουργίας του και ‘πάγκο’…το γνωστό σε μας με τη μορφή συγχρόνου μπαρ, όπου στέκονταν οι μοναχικοί πελάτες ή φίλοι για να πιούν ένα ‘κονιάκκι με κανέναν μεζέ’. Από αναφορές από παλιούς πελάτες του ο γέρος ο Ζανέττος τηγάνιζε τη μαρίδα μπροστά τους. Ο καφετζής της γειτονιάς, ο αείμνηστος Γιώργος Ιωαννίδης (γνωστός στη παλιά Λευκωσία ως ‘Ο ΜΑΓΚΑΣ’) ανέφερνε συχνά σαν του καλυτέρους μεζέδες του γέρου Ζανέττου το χταποδάκι το καθιστό αλλά και τα αφέλεια και τους καραόλους γιαχνί. Ο Μάγκας θυμόταν ακόμα το γέρο Ζανέττο να παρασκευάζει στο χαρτζί (μεγάλη κατσαρόλα) κονιάκκι το οποίο εμφιάλωνε με το όνομα Ζανέττο και φυσικά σέρβιρε και τους θαμώνες της ταβέρνας

Nicosia - Tavernes - Plaka Taverna

Plaka Tavern 65 Poseidonos Ave., 8042 Engomi, Nicosia. Tel. +357-22352898, +357-22590944 []. The quintessential Cypriot taverna, set in the middle of old Engomi (a Nicosia suburb) with tables spilling out on the street offering a strong meze.A popular venue for locals and visitors, in a village setting, where, in the summer months the tables are placed on a roundabout surrounded by rustic houses. No menus – just a series of about 35 plates with different meze dishes. You may find yourself seated at a table next to a village family or visiting ambassadors. 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 it 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. , 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
