Ezic Peanuts Seaside Restaurant
Eziç Peanuts
Seaside terrace behind the castle, where every table gets a bucket of shell-on peanuts. A popular spot with locals and visitors alike.
Ezic is a homegrown restaurant brand in Northern Cyprus. The Peanuts location sits on the seafront east of Kyrenia Castle, with a terrace facing the castle and the sea, popular for sunset views. A bucket of shell-on peanuts is brought to every table on seating, and the shells go straight into a hole in the middle of the table, which is the restaurant's signature experience. The menu blends local, European and Middle Eastern flavors, with generous portions. Prices are mid-to-upper range for the area. Tables are hard to get at peak times, so book ahead or arrive early for a seafront seat. It is about a 10-minute walk from the old harbor. Reviews of the food are mixed, but praise for the atmosphere and popularity is nearly unanimous.
