Restaurant review: Holy Cow, Larnaca Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: Holy Cow, Larnaca

October 19th, 2018 New on the dining scene in Larnaca is Holy Cow neocanteen. Located in the backstreets not too far from the port roundabout, it is not a place you would stumble across while having a stroll in town. Holy Cow’s stylish yet simple exterior makes it stand out from the rest of the buildings on the street. Walking in, the simple tables...
Restaurant Review: Mayiopoula, Nicosia Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant Review: Mayiopoula, Nicosia

October 12th, 2018 Four years ago this establishment had the reputation of being ‘Not for the likes of us’. Allegedly it was owned by a coterie of plutocratic lawyers that wanted somewhere to take their wealthy clients and give the impression that Nicosia was populated only by the rich and even richer. I recall being rejected when the very haughty...
Restaurant review: Grill Garage, Paphos Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: Grill Garage, Paphos

October 5th, 2018 By Sarah Coyne It is that time of year again when the tourist numbers start to decrease and we local residents venture back to the harbour area in Paphos. Availability of parking spaces and tables at restaurants suddenly makes it an option and for a couple of hours it is nice to feel that one is ‘on holiday’ as we mingle with the...
Restaurant review: Rio Bravo, Limassol Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: Rio Bravo, Limassol

September 28th, 2018 Rio Bravo has long been a dining staple in Limassol; if you aren’t aware of it yet, you should be. It is one of the few places there that offers Mexican cuisine, and its many years of operation means it has carved itself a niche in the market. Priding itself on being a ‘Western Saloon’, visiting does feel like stepping out of...
Restaurant Review: Serial Griller, Nicosia Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant Review: Serial Griller, Nicosia

September 14th, 2018 Should any vegans follow this column I suggest they turn the page because The Griller may not be to your taste. In fact, it might be described as a carnivores delight. My mentor on meat advised me not to ask for salad. In Nicosia, can you believe it? It may have something to do with the location. The hungry diner passes the old...
Restaurant review: Maharaja Indian Restaurant Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: Maharaja Indian Restaurant

September 7th, 2018 Jinder Sekhorn – also known as Bobby – is an Indian chef well known for his successful Spice Hut restaurant at the Aliathon Holiday Village in Kato Paphos. And as the number of Indian restaurants in Paphos grows, he is behind one more: The Maharaja, hidden down a side road off Poseidonos Avenue, in a mostly residential (and somewhat...
Restaurant review: Pixida, Limassol Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: Pixida, Limassol

August 31st, 2018 If you are searching for a prime dining experience in Limassol, teamed with original dishes and high quality service and food then you should certainly consider Pixida. Open for about as long as the marina, Pixida has gained traction as a restaurant that serves high quality seafood dishes. The warm and inviting atmosphere is one of...
Restaurant review: Ifalos, Protaras Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: Ifalos, Protaras

August 22nd, 2018 It being summer, we headed recently to Protaras, which being near full capacity meant we ended up staying away from the main strip, towards Paralimni. Despite not being in the thick of it, the beaches were still beautiful and there were plenty of bars and restaurants about, including one that had come highly recommended and was only a...
Restaurant Review: Loxandra, Nicosia Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant Review: Loxandra, Nicosia

August 16th, 2018 Cruising the highways of our capital midweek early evening one might suspect the barbarians had entered the gate and spirited away the population: where is everybody? Cross that catastrophic monument to hubris – the moat – and there they are; but if you want to find a space to dine between Regina Street and the occupied sector, you'd...
Restaurant review: Imogen’s Inn Taverna, Kathikas, Paphos Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: Imogen’s Inn Taverna, Kathikas, Paphos

August 3rd, 2018 Sometimes the heat and humidity of the coastal strip in July and August becomes too much for even the most avid of sun worshippers in my house: hence the cry of "let's head for the hills". What a joy to drive up to the mountains above Paphos and feel the air lighten and cool around you. On such a trip the thought of food is inevitable...
Restaurant review: To Patrikon, Tersefanou, Larnaca Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: To Patrikon, Tersefanou, Larnaca

July 27th, 2018 If somebody recommended a taverna in a small village, 15 minutes outside of Larnaca, you would assume that it is just another traditional restaurant with the standard meze, possibly with a few dishes that aren’t expected but still nothing too extravagant. Going to To Patrikon taverna in Tersefanou, I’m almost ashamed to say that this...
Restaurant Review: Sexy Fish, Nicosia Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant Review: Sexy Fish, Nicosia

July 20th, 2018 According to the late greatly lamented Anthony Bourdain in his autobiography Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly a great deal of carnal activity took place on or someplace in the kitchen, but he never ascribed it to the fish. Caviar and bivalves feature, but it’s the occasion and the companion, not the...
Restaurant review: The Marrakech Restaurant, Paphos Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: The Marrakech Restaurant, Paphos

July 14th, 2018 One of the great joys for me of living in the Mediterranean is the seemingly infinite variations of the same dishes. The different combinations of herbs and spices that produce the signature taste of different countries. Also the country-by-country speciality dishes that mark out the different areas around the region, all underlined by...
Restaurant review: La Maison Fleurie, Limassol Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: La Maison Fleurie, Limassol

July 6th, 2018 When a nod to the fancier, more gourmet choices appeared on the cards it was an opportunity I couldn’t resist. Let’s be honest, fine dining is not something that many attempt weekly, it is saved for an occasional treat – but when you decide to indulge, where should you splurge to enjoy the best food on offer? One of the best...
Restaurant review: Marzano, Larnaca Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: Marzano, Larnaca

June 29th, 2018 When thinking about where to go to eat we sometimes think about going somewhere by the sea, or with a nice view, or in a quaint village. Sometimes though, it’s nice to have something a little different with more of a city feeling. Somewhere that still lets you enjoy the good food while appreciating the contrast of the relaxed...
Restaurant Review: East Asia, Nicosia Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant Review: East Asia, Nicosia

June 23rd, 2018 A ‘What’s New’ in Cyprus flashed across my screen revealing a gleaming, cavernous dining room in a familiar area that once housed the legendary Abu Faysal. The carnivores will recognise the site as it was previously occupied by Zebra, whose proprietors had a very limited vegan menu. As I have been campaigning for an increase in...
Restaurant review: Ouranos, Paphos Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: Ouranos, Paphos

June 15th, 2018 By Sarah Coyne There is a common understanding that for a business to continue to thrive it must evolve to suit consumers’ taste and present new products. The Annabelle Hotel, which was the first five-star hotel in Paphos, has just pulled off such an evolution with the opening of its new Ouranos Restaurant and Bar as part of its...
Restaurant review: The Woody, Limassol Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: The Woody, Limassol

June 8th, 2018 It’s great to wander beyond the centre of Limassol and try some places you haven’t thought of before and that have recently opened their doors – The Woody in Episkopi is a prime example of that. Located outside of the hustle and bustle of the city, it is a great place to get away from it all and enjoy a relaxing meal. Its menu...
Restaurant review: Sushi La, Larnaca Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: Sushi La, Larnaca

May 30th, 2018 You could be forgiven for missing Sushi-La on Larnaca’s seafront promenade as unlike other restaurants and cafés along the front there is no outside space. But tucked away in a corner, it does not miss out on custom. They offer a lunch time buffet every day and it never fails to draw in the crowds. If going for this offer, book ahead...
Restaurant Review: Pivo, Nicosia Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant Review: Pivo, Nicosia

May 25th, 2018 And now for something entirely different. When did you last eat in a brewery? In my case it was on the eve of the England-Wales game at Twickenham, 1968 for a private event. The centre piece was a huge poached Wye salmon accompanied by the finest cuts from the ovine, porcine and the bovine family. Young’s brewed the best beer in...
Restaurant review: Dim Sum Yum, Paphos Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: Dim Sum Yum, Paphos

May 18th, 2018 After all the upheavals and renovations in Paphos old town last year, it’s good to see the green shoots of recovery starting to emerge and Dim Sum Yum is one such shoot. The recently-opened restaurant occupies a small shop on the corner of Aphroditis and Miaouli Streets where the minimalist decor reminiscent of street Dim Sum cafés in...
Restaurant review: Ta Kopsidia, Limassol Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: Ta Kopsidia, Limassol

May 11th, 2018 There are some places that have been around forever, but you somehow never really notice them, or you never really get the chance to go in. But this means you might be missing out on something remarkable, and this month it came in the shape and form of the traditional Greek cuisine restaurant Ta Kopsidia. Located just outside of the...
Restaurant Review: Amaro, Nicosia Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant Review: Amaro, Nicosia

May 4th, 2018 Restaurants in Nicosia have adopted the timetabling of London buses – complain for years about the absence of good venues, then without any fanfare, half a dozen appear in the same season. It has now reached the stage where the most recent arrivals have adopted some of the more lofty attitudes of their European confreres: a sartorial...
Restaurant review: Lambros Fish & Chips, Dhekelia Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: Lambros Fish & Chips, Dhekelia

April 27th, 2018 Anyone who has lived in or had any association with England knows that one thing the Brits do well is fish and chips! While not the most adventurous of dishes, when cooked properly it can be extremely tasty and very satisfying. But you don’t have to go all the way to England for fantastic fish and chips, you only need to head in the...
Restaurant review: Aris Tavern, Limassol Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: Aris Tavern, Limassol

April 7th, 2018 I love it when the weather starts to warm up – you can sit outside again absorbing the beauty that is Limassol rather than sitting inside a stuffy restaurant. I love it even more when I do this framed by the picturesque Heroes’ Square. And the cherry on top? When the restaurant is as laid-back as you are feeling you get to truly...
