Meze Taverna Menu
A WARM WELCOME NOTE
from Meze, our Greek Cypriot taverna nestled in the Old Town of Limassol. What comes to mind when you hear ‘taverna’? A warm cozy atmosphere? Satisfying meals? Quality time with your friends and family? We believe this too. That’s why Meze remains a place to unwind and share time with those you care for most. This is not just a place for food, but for friendship. Our dishes are based on timeless recipes, and infused with passion for the joy they bring to our guests. Meze was built around togetherness, an ethos we took on with the tavern. We see it as an extension of our home, and any guests as an extension of our family. With this in mind, the food we share is simple, traditional and comforting. If you have any questions about any dietary needs, please do reach out. Yours, Pambinos and Family
