Last Updated on October 16, 2020 by Tia

Best Burgers in Cyprus…that’s right! In this article, you will find the juiciest, tastiest, naughtiest best burgers the island has to offer. Keep reading to find out the most incredible burgers, to put the ”cheat” to your ”cheat meal”. Warning…Prepare to drool! After all, traditional food in Cyprus may be delicious, but sometimes, nothing beats a juicy burger that’s oozing with cheese, sauces, and chunky fries to boot.

Best Burgers in Nicosia

Burger Guy

Now this had to come first, because i am obsessed! Burger Guy is actually located in Paliometocho, a village just outside of the city of Nicosia – but worry not, you are only a 10 minute drive away from the burger of your dreams…!

Why do I love it so much you ask? Well for starters, the actual burger is all about the beef – IBS sufferers like me will be happy to know that it also contains no onions or garlic! You really taste the meat – it’s not greasy, it’s not dry.. its perfection! The fries are hand-cut, local Cypriot potatoes – and trust me, they are out of this world! In fact, nothing is frozen..everything you eat is fresh, and that shows!

Look at the order form below – a really cute touch! You choose your single, double, or triple burger and then go crazy picking your choice of 25 free toppings! Along with your burger, come a pair of black gloves, so you can go nuts without getting your hands dirty! My personal favorite? Bacon, Cheese, Egg, Mushrooms and Guy Sauce. The result? A Heavenly burger with its rightful first place in this Best Burgers in Cyprus list.

Tia’s Tip: Burger Guy has added some pretty incredible looking milkshakes and donuts on the menu. I am lactose intolerant, so I haven’t tried them..if you do, let me know your opinion!

Vegetarians and vegans can enjoy a veggie burger, along with a vegan bun too!

Burger Guy Address: 4 Plateia Omonoias Street 2682 Palaiometochon, Cyprus

Opening Hours: 7 days a week – 7 pm-10.30 pm

Moondogs Bar and Grill

Moondogs needs no introductions! This is an absolute staple and favorite in Nicosia, and it attracts people of all ages for its burgers, beer, and sports. The menu includes not one, not two, but 17 mammoth burgers to choose from – and all of them lack nothing in size, imagination, and taste. The food menu is huge and includes everything, from starters to pasta, salads, succulent steaks, fish and other mains, and desserts. The burgers are the real stars here, and the beer too! The choice of local and imported beer is so large, they have a dedicated beer menu – need I say more?

A few interesting choices:

Peanut Butter Burger – With peanut butter, whole grain mustard, bacon and caramelized onions.

Straffe Hendrik Burger –  With Straffe Hendrik Quadrupel beer sauce, honey, crispy bacon, and onion rings.

The Viking Of 6th Avenue- With cheddar cheese, pickled gherkin, caramelized onions, tomato and lettuce. Topped off with a whole spicy sausage and mustard on the top of the bun.

Vegan Option: The Quinoa Black Bean – a burger made from quinoa, carrot, oats, zucchini, chickpeas, cooked fresh onion, sweet corn and sweet potato, served in wholegrain bread with tahini sauce, lettuce and tomato.

Artisans Burger bar

 Artisans is a classy, refined, and utterly gorgeous burger bar, where everything is made from scratch. The patties – beef, chicken, veggie, beetroot vegan, and shrimp – are handmade daily. The bread is free from additives and baked fresh each morning! The choice of cheeses is insane – and you will love taking your pick from Gruyere, Chevre goats cheese, aged cheddar, fresh mozzarella, or brezain smoked cheese. The cheese sauce is a staple at Artisans, so be sure to try it!

As far as sauces are concerned, you will probably have a hard time choosing between guacamole , pesto, chimichurri, chili, mushroom and barbeque sauces that are of course…made from scratch ) 

It is important to add that you can find a lot more than meat burgers. Vegan and pescatarian options are in fact delicious, and easy to find! Below, you will see the menu, so have a look at the Alternative Burgerbar section in the menu and also the Bitesbar.

Artisans Menu

A thing I admire about Artisans is that although it has been going on successfully for years, it doesn’t stop evolving and looking for ways to include the whole community. In the menu here, you will find many, new and exciting additions worth looking at. Apart from the vegan options mentioned above, there is a salad menu, a special lunch menu, steaks and meat cuts, fish, kids menu and desserts.

All in all, Artisans is a favorite of mine for years and rightly so. Suitable for dinner dates, lunch meetings, large gatherings and everything in between – with a menu to cater to every taste, every need, and every age. Best Burgers in Cyprus? Yeap, Artisans is clearly one of them!

Limoncello

Now Limoncello Deli is not a dedicated burger bar, but it serves burgers that are delicious enough to hold a righteous place in this best burgers in Cyprus list! The indoors is cozy, the outdoors oozes character, and the dress code is relaxed!

Some of my favorites?

The Noble Aussie– aka the king of meat! 100% Australian Wagyu beef, topped with Tranches de Brie cheese, black truffle mayo, fresh rucola, and served with truffle-Parmigiano fresh fries.

The Italian Stallion – A Black Angus beef patty, crispy prosciutto, melted mozzarella, cherry tomato confit, rucola & pesto mayo.

San Pedro Street Food

oohhh I really like this place! And here, it really is all about the burgers. Love the menu concept, of single, double, triple, or half kilo burgers (yes, I did say one kilo) with a few sides and sauces – no mess and no fuss!

Don’t confuse simplicity with taste though, because these guys know what they are doing – the burgers are phenomenal and consistently so, every time I’ve visited! The cheese and bacon fries are pretty addictive too, I’m not going to lie!

Vegans rejoice! Not only one, but three vegan options here (I’m not even vegan but I’m excited for you!) My personal obsession? The crispy Portobello Burger pictured below..yum!

Best Burgers in Limassol

The Fat Bull

I am proudly presenting… Cyprus’s best burger bar of 2019 – as voted by customers on social media! This burger bar is only available for delivery, therefore perfect for lazy Netflix nights, in need of excellent food.

Check out the menu which ranges from a wide variety of burgers, ribs, wings, and fries. The wings and ribs are pretty incredible if I may say so myself!

When it comes to the burgers, there is a choice of 10, and 9 of them are made from 100% beef for the ultimate taste payout.

”The Survivor Burger” is a beast- 2 beef patties AND pulled pork, cheese, coleslaw, pickles, dried onion flakes, fatbull sauce and redneck BBQ sauce

Vegans and Vegetarians should try ”The Virgin Burger”! This one is made of Fallafel, rocket, tomato, and tahini. Keep it as it is or turn your burger entirely vegan by replacing the bun!

Barbacoa

Barbacoa is…sophisticated, and utterly elegant! Additionally, they make incredible burgers too! Their platters and burgers are luxuriously smoked for 18 hours, and the brioche buns are super soft. At Barbacoa, you will find only one black Angus burger – made from the brisket, which is both the lean and fatty part of the beef. There is also a turkey burger, a pulled pork burger, and a pork belly burger.

The sides are as equally luxurious – like the truffle and parmesan fries, and delicious creamy mac and cheese! Eating here is a beautiful affair, and well worth the few extra euros!
