Cyprus cuisine has been under the influence of different cultures throughout history. For this reason, there is no food that can only be called "Cyprus cuisine". Cypriots, although slightly different from the originals, have developed quite good flavors. Each dish has a special flavor, a special cooking style and presentation that reflects the character of Cypriots. The preparation, taste and presentation of some dishes vary from region to region. Northern Cyprus is an ideal place for those who love to eat. Many kinds of vegetable dishes, grill, pastries, fish dishes, soup, kebap, lahmacun, pide are some of the food names. Appetizers, desserts and cakes with quite a lot of varieties can be eaten both before and after a meal. In addition to local cuisine, Chinese, Italian, French and Indian dishes are served in a variety of nice restaurants.
