How to find the best Taverna and Meze in Cyprus…

They say it’s always good to know a local. 

And it’s true.

In a world filled with tourist traps and scams -- a local is like a shining light, guiding you to the greatest eateries and locations…

… without you being afraid that you’ll be served 3 week old meatballs (or worse).

You see, the last time we went to Limassol (where this tavern is located), we went in blind. 

We didn’t know anyone - and we had no idea where to go. 

So… let’s say our experience was less than pleasant. 

This time, we had a few reasons to go - and one of them was a new friend who has  been living in Limassol all his life…

… so he knew a thing or two more than us. 

And he would not stop raving about the Cyprus Meze at this taverna - Forsos. 

Naturally, we had high expectations, and truth be told...

… we didn’t know what to expect.

But it was more than good.

It was stellar. 

They combined the authentic ‘feel’ of a traditional Cyprus taverna  - and served us some of the best food we’d ever eaten. 

We distinctly remember our friend saying…

… don’t eat anything for the entire day. 

There would be so much food - we couldn’t finish it all. 

And he was right. 

Just take a look at all these mouth-watering dishes. 

The dishes kept flying at us for 90 minute straight! 

From a Traditional Village Greek Salad and Dips.....

...to Halloumi and Lountza...

… to delicious Sheftalia , chicken/pork souvlaki

and homemade Keftedes (meatballs) washed down with a bottle of ice cold Keo Beer...

… and to top it off, with a delicious syrupy dessert to push it all down.

Loukoumades

Of course we ordered ourselves a few Kypriakous (Cyprus Coffee) so the food goes down easier. 

It’s a ‘cultural’ staple - after a big meal, you must drink Cyprus coffee to help the food go down easier. 

It took all our willpower and strength to finish every dish that came flying at us…

… and it was worth it. 

The drive home was one to remember - we were holding our now bigger bellies, smiling, exchanging laughs…

… and wishing we were at home sleeping. 

There’s a reason this tavern was rated the #1 in Cyprus in 2021. 

If you ever find yourself in Limassol, and are looking for an authentic and delicious tavern experience…

… make sure Forsos is on your list.
