Restaurant Review: Apron, Nicosia
June 8, 2019
While browsing at the Mouflon book store, the owner Ruth mentioned there is a new enterprise on the street: a small restaurant, close by, that serves breakfast, brunch and late lunch, closing at 4pm. How very interesting.
In the shady Sofouli Street diners may look over the extraordinary tangles of Wisteria and Passiflora embracing the sun-drenched buildings opposite. We are greeted by Christina Savvides, the proprietor, who explains the rules of the house. The lunch menu changes daily, the emphasis is on natural nourishing food, the ambience is organic, the customers, apart from me, youngish, fit and busy. We are struck by the stylish interior, simple well-spaced tables, spectacularly clean, nothing intrusive.
The drinks card contains coffee in every modern form, herbal teas and singularly refreshing home-made juices and lemonades and just the one chilled white wine; a Petrides, our usual choice for chicken or fish; very perceptive. The outside temperature demands a glass of chilled mint lemonade and the companion orders a carrot and apple juice that is served in a small carafe with a glass of ice on the side. Good start.
