Pyxida Fish Tavern
Πυξίδα
One of Nicosia's best-known fish tavernas, famous for fresh fish, fish soup and seafood meze, and a top choice for business lunches.
Pyxida is at 5 Menandrou Street. It has nearly 900 TripAdvisor reviews with a rating of 4.4, and has long ranked among Nicosia's top upscale restaurants. It also has a branch in Limassol. Signature dishes include fish soup, fried squid, fish meatballs, fried cod and boneless grilled sardines. It also serves daily home-style dishes, making it a popular choice for local business lunches. Following a recent renovation, the space is brighter and more modern, though some reviewers say it has lost some atmosphere and that dishes arrive slowly. Seafood meze may not be available on public holidays, so check the bill carefully. Reservations are recommended.
