Yiasemi Meze and Grill sits in the heart of Protaras, welcoming visitors with a cozy, traditional atmosphere and quiet Cypriot music. This family-style meze house celebrates the flavours of Cyprus, with hearty meat and fish meze featuring a generous variety of dishes, flame-grilled souvlaki, sieftalies and halloumi served in pita, and homemade classics such as a well-loved moussaka served in big portions. Diners praise the fresh, flavourful cooking and the friendly, attentive staff who make everyone feel welcome, sometimes finishing the meal with a complimentary dessert.

With a fish platter that regulars recommend and vegetarian dishes available, there is something for every table, from couples to larger groups. Prices are considered fair and good value, making it a reliable choice for both a relaxed lunch and a leisurely dinner. Open daily from late morning until late evening, Yiasemi offers a genuinely authentic Cypriot dining experience just steps from Protaras' central resort strip.
