Kuzuba may be what many fusion restaurants aspire to be when they grow up: dining without gimmicks or pomposity, but with just a sprinkle of good-natured pretentiousness. Those airs may ...

What’s on offer at Thymari in Limassol? Souvlaki and other forms of grilled meat, primarily. There are three of the restaurants across the city. The one we visited in ...

One of the downsides of always chasing somewhere new to try is that old favourites quietly fall off the radar. You don’t mean for it to happen, but suddenly ...

Phos is one of the latest additions to the Paphos dining scene. Located above the beautiful Ayios Georgios harbour, the area has seen major redevelopment over recent years, with the ...

My faithful dining companion and I decided to indulge in pub grub, partly because Lent is approaching with many options set to be taken off the table. There is a ...
