Fodor's Expert Review Ta Piatakia

Cyprus celebrity TV chef Roddy Damalis serves up small plates of Cypriot fusion cuisine—Ta Piatakia translates as "little plates"—in a lively atmosphere with festive colored tassels dangling from the soaring ceilings and a young, mainly local crowd. For an average price of €7 to €8 a plate, sample house specialties—many featuring local products—like duck in walnut sauce, halloumi (the local Cyprus cheese) with oregano and artichoke hearts, and prawn souvlaki. Round out your meal with a Cypriot wine pairing from a well-stocked upstairs cellar.
