Nicosia, Cyprus. Hat Gao, a Vietnamese eatery at the entrance to Nicosia’s old town, offers a compact setting for diners wary of navigating the area’s narrow streets.
A small space at the old town entrance
Located on a narrow, one-way street, Hat Gao makes use of limited space with three wooden tables and six chairs outside and two tables indoors positioned close together. Diners are greeted and handed a well-worn menu on arrival.
Menu choices and an upstairs option
The meal includes summer rolls with duck and steamed buns with vegetables to start, followed by garlic beef pho and bulgogi chicken as main dishes. A staff member says there are additional tables upstairs and notes there is “a nice view.”
The upstairs setting and view
The upstairs space is described as a mix of styles, and the view is a direct line of sight into a balcony across the street.
