Old Market in Larnaca’s Old Town, a place dear to my heart, blurs the line between bar and restaurant with a finesse that inexplicably reminds me of one of my favourite places in my hometown of Verona, called La Terrazza. What is most important, despite being a bar and just like its Italian counterpart, Old Market doesn’t compromise on quality.
The buttermilk fried chicken burger, in my humble opinion, might just be the best on the entire island. Cooked to perfection with a thick, flavourful coating, hints of paprika and a subtle touch of garlic, it’s a mouthwatering experience. But what elevates the creation to new heights are the generous doses of jalapeños and spicy mayo that accompany it. It’s a culinary firework not for the faint hearted.
