From its humble beginnings in a small corner shop in town to a new, more modern premises on the busy Makarios avenue, Larnaca’s Jemms American steak bar has been ...

Perhaps it was an unconscious decision prompted by the surprisingly vicious cold snap currently gripping the island, an unwitting turn towards familiarity and reliability, but visiting Chesters recently was not ...

After a short hiatus and a temporary love affair with brunch places – which might come back during Cyprus’ short but amazing spring – I returned to the island’s queen of ...

By Sarah Coyne Due to world events, we have all been eating out a lot less than usual. This, in turn, has meant that some world cuisines have been missing ...

A casual afternoon out for a couple of drinks can build up an appetite so, quite spontaneously, my friends and I decided to find somewhere to go and satisfy our ...

First and foremost, all praise be to late September and early October for providing some of the finest nights of the year. When we visited Tokio, a bar and restaurant ...

Ayia Napa is usually associated with rowdy tourists, clubs, alcohol and partying. However, there is more to the town than that. In addition to arguably some of the beaches on ...
