With more and more people across the island adopting vegan and vegetarian diets, we’re pleased to see that Cyprus has a surprisingly impressive number of vegan and vegetarian-friendly restaurants to tantalise the taste buds and satiate even the biggest of appetites. Here are some of My Cyprus Insider’s favourites.
1. Inga’s Veggie Haven, Nicosia
As the name so aptly suggests, Inga’s Veggie Haven truly is a little corner of vegan and vegetarian haven in an island that loves its meat! Located in a wonderfully atmospheric traditional house in the hip Chrysaliniotissa neighbourhood of Nicosia’s old town, Inga and her partner serve up an ever changing, short but indeterminably sweet, menu of delicious alternatives to the meaty classics.
Replace your beef burgers with beetroot or carrot and quinoa burgers, drool over the marinated oyster mushroom in pita bread instead of souvlaki; or try her mouth-watering fetta aubergine lasagna or vegan shepherd’s pie. And for those with a sweet tooth, looking to keep it healthy and dairy free this fasting season, Inga’s selection of cakes and treats are just as tempting, with sugar free, raw food delicacies such as the chocolate orange pie on an almond coconut crust or gluten free, vegan banana cream pie!
2. Τaverneio Λέγκω – Lengo Tavern, Paphos
Following the sound advice of his 20 year old, vegan daughter Eleni, the owner of Lengo Tavern in Paphos is now offering a full vegetarian and vegan meze for those of us who would prefer not to eat animal products.
Breaking the mould for traditional Cypriot taverns (which usually have a strong penchant for all things meaty), Lengo’s unique new meze menu will be readily available without prior notification or pre booking, and offers a hearty selection of traditional Cypriot cuisine, just without the meat! Soups, salads, legume-based dishes and vegetables cooked in innovative ways, are just some of the items waiting to pass the test for vegan foodies island-wide.
