Cyprus life – Souvlaki GR Larnaca

Souvlaki.gr

Nestled within a few other casual eating establishments, just of the main Finnikoudes seafront is a little gem, a place where you can get restaurant quality food at fast food prices.

Souvlaki.gr has

become very popular in Larnaca and that is no surprise, the food is absolutely amazing, possible the finest Greek salad you can find, (Greek Salad is basically Tomato, Cucumber, Red Onion, Feta Cheese, Black Olives with Olive Oil and Oregano)

The salad is to die for!

There is a very comprehensive menu, with everything from a small portion of Souvlaki (grilled diced Pork or Chicken) in a Greek Pitta, which is round, to large platters and everything in between which allows you to customise your meal to suit your own tastes.

Personally, as I like to eat healthy, I normally order a Salad and then two or three skewers of Souvlaki, normally I might have one Chicken and one Pork and there I have a really healthy meal for no more than a price of a Burger in a fast food take away.

The service is always good and everything is cooked to order as you would expect.

They have also recently opened a branch near the village of Kiti, near Larnaca airport, it is on the main road as you drive in to Kiti. This has opened recently and it is a larger premises than the one in town, with a large smart covered seating area. The service is exactly as you would expect and the food is at the same high standard.

Cyprus Life – Peroutsios Larnaca

Peroutsios was founded in 1948 by Antonis Peroutsios who worked here night and day until he passed away in 1995.

This is little more than a shack with a Charcoal BBQ, but it is one the best known and highly regarded destination for a casual sit down Souvlaki(diced Pork grilled on a skewer and served in Pitta bread with salad) in Larnaca.

So what makes this place so special?

First and foremost, everything is ALWAYS fresh. The salad never feels as though it is past its sell-by date, but served anyway….no, it is always crunchy and indicates a  early morning trip to the market, something that really demands dedication.
