There’s something wonderfully refreshing and liberating about eating surrounded by green. Even just thinking about a meal enjoyed in a garden fills me with positive vibes.
That said, the opportunities of dining among the lush vegetation in Cyprus are quite scarce. Near the sea, definitely. In the mountains, possibly. In a cool garden, now that can be tricky, particularly in dry and busy Nicosia, But, on a warm evening in May, the English School came to my aid.
No, I did not enjoy my meal at the school cafeteria, but a couple of friends, real connoisseurs of the dining scene of the capital, introduced me to a tavern that opened a few years ago behind the school premises.
