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...
Restaurant review: Esco bar Larnaca Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: Esco bar Larnaca

March 31st, 2018 The Finikoudes strip in Larnaca has long offered a selection of bars, restaurants and cafés. More recently it has added a new Mexican restaurant called Esco Bar. Paintings on the walls in the inside seating area are vibrant and colourful – you’ll see a Warhol-esque picture of Pablo Escobar himself, even though he is Colombian! One...
Restaurant Review: Paul, Nicosia Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant Review: Paul, Nicosia

March 22nd, 2018 Should parking ever be a factor in deciding where you will dine, then look no further than Paul. Enter the enormous carpark at the Leventis Museum end of Makarios Avenue and there, surrounded by some of the ugliest buildings in Cyprus, is the little oasis of Paul. A bright, brown-stone bungalow glowing with smart apparel welcomes the...
Restaurant review: Grazie, Paphos Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: Grazie, Paphos

March 16th, 2018 The Grazie Italian Restaurant in Kato Paphos must surely rank among the town’s top 10 restaurants, a place where the menu, the chef and the food that exits the kitchen take priority over the senselessness and chronic rudeness displayed these days by so many phone-addicted punters who seem to be following the credo that they ‘eat to...
Restaurant review: Theta, Limassol Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: Theta, Limassol

March 9th, 2018 The healthy eating bug has seems to invade us all every once in a while, and its great to see restaurants accommodating these culinary tastes. Located in the heart of the city centre, in Heroes square, Theta prides itself on being the first gluten and dairy free restaurant in Cyprus, and pairs that with a relaxing atmosphere that...
Restaurant review: Lush beach bar resto, Larnaca Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: Lush beach bar resto, Larnaca

March 2nd, 2018 When summer fades away, many places lose their appeal until the warmer months come round again. However, even on a wet and rainy day, a beach bar in Larnaca was at full capacity. Clearly they are doing something right! Lush beach bar resto is in the Makenzie area and while the beach bar doesn’t operate in the winter months, the...
Restaurant Review: Balcony, Nicosia Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant Review: Balcony, Nicosia

February 23rd, 2018 The restaurateur that ensures the architecture, design, ambience and furnishings will combine to enhance the experience for the customer before they even study the menu and cast judgement on his cuisine deserves to prosper. Advantage Balcony. The street is unusually inactive, which is strange for the resurrected Onasagorou/Phaneromeni...
Restaurant review: Three Little Pigs, Paphos Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: Three Little Pigs, Paphos

February 16th, 2018 With everyone clambering aboard the fusion camel train it is reasonable to worry that before long old-fashioned tavern-style food will simply be fused out of business, taking with it that lovely aroma of good honest grilling. But, fear not, because there is now a fusion of sorts at the Three Little Pigs eatery on the Tomb of the Kings...
Restaurant review: Akakiko, Limassol Restaurant & Bar Review

Restaurant review: Akakiko, Limassol

February 9th, 2018 Akakiko is one of the most popular Asian restaurants in Limassol and as such is often almost for granted. Consistently good and delectable, if you have somehow missed Akakiko make sure to put it on your list. One of the reasons you may have missed it, is that it is located within the Royal Apolonia hotel, thus hidden from plain sight....
