Vegetarian and Vegan Food in Northern Cyprus
Vegetarian and Vegan Food in Northern Cyprus

Most restaurants we visited offered vegetarian options, though in some cases, the options were rather limited.

The cuisine you’ll encounter is strongly influenced by Turkish and Greek cuisine and thankfully, both of these contain lots of accidentally vegetarian options.

If in doubt, always ask which options are suitable for vegetarians.

We found everyone we asked was keen to help.

Vegans will have considerable difficulty finding food to eat outside Nicosia/Lefkoşa. During our week-long visit, only one restaurant we visited identified vegan options on their menu. With this in mind, you will want to consider self-catering during your visit.
