Fanous: Lebanese At Its Best
Fanous is a Lebanese restaurant set in the heart of Nicosia's restored old town quarter "Laiki Yitonia". This whole area, whilst quite picuresque, is a bit of a tourist trap and The Rough Guide finds little to recommend in it, and especially not restaurants. I can only imagine that this place didn't exist when The Rough Guide's compiler visited or else he doesn't know good food when he tastes it. Put simply, this was close to being the best meal we'd ever had.We went for a mezze-style approach and selected about 8 dishes from the extensive menu. None of the dishes was small enough to be truly a mezze dish, but there was so much on that menu that we wanted to taste that we just couldn't help ourselves. The dishes were similar to some that we'd had before in Greek & Armenian restaurants but every one of them had a style and flavour that was different to the way that we'd had them...
