The top 10 Brunch spots in the capital
For a truly delectable weekend we reserved a spot at our 10 favourite haunts…
Brunch has to be one of the hottest trends of the last five years, and it looks like it’s here to stay. Plenty of coffee (and perhaps a Bellini, if the previous night’s exertions were a little overwhelming!) accompanied by freshly baked bread, cheese and eggs will soon set you right.
Here are our favourite spots to brunch in Nicosia…..
