Starz

Starz is situated in Nicosia - Makedonitissa area on the Apollonio Hospital street.

I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. I had read comments before about it, but I didn't pay much attention until I decided to try it last Thursday.

If you have ever been to the U.S then this is what you should expect. Good, caring service and huge portions. They also have a large list of wines ranging from inexpensive Cypriot wines to extremely expensive rare wines. We chose a Sauvignon Blanc from Chile which we found to be very good.

For a starter we got the Spinach Artichoke dip in order to remember the U.S days. I am still convinced that with the portion of food you get at the place, the starter is not a necessity. Nevertheless as true Cypriot I had to get my starter and finish it too.

For my main course I ordered the Flap steak which was priced at 32 Euro. It comes with a selection of soup or salad, vegetables and potatoes.
The salad came before our dinner and it was good. There was a little too much dressing on it, but it is better than the little too less dressing you get at other restaurants. But really who cares when the steak was to die for?

Cooked to perfection and to order (medium rare) it was melting in my mouth. I thought I was in heaven eating the steak. Unfortunately I didn't have any room in my belly to try any of the desserts. Especially the lava cake looked really good. But it is a lesson for next time to not get the appetizer.

I would highly recommend this restaurant even though it might be a little pricey. We paid 95 Euro for an appetizer, two steaks and a bottle of wine which was 28 Euro.
