The Village Restaurant: Cypriot Cuisine

by greekcypriot

“The Village Restaurant” in Platres is a very nice restaurant.I was amazed with the delicious cuisine of Agi and he was telling me that he is cooking everything by himself. Nobody else helps in the kitchen. He is very passionate with his cooking which he learned from his Mother he said.One can find mostly Traditional Cypriot cuisine here and from what I found out from the little chat I had with other people, everyone likes it here. Prices are affordable and portions quite big. The Restaurant is very popular with not only locals, but also tourists who visit Platres. There are coaches that make a stop for lunch daily here. The view from the outside veranda is panoramic.Mousaka costs 10 euro, Kalamari (squid) 8.50, Steak port chop 7.50, Koupepia –stuffed vine leaves 9 euro. A beer will cost you 2.50 euro and a carafe of wine 75ml costs 7.50 euro.I found the prices reasonable, and the...

The Restaurant of Ambelikos Agor Hotel-Potamitissa: Tasty and Fresh!

by greekcypriot

Ambelikos Hotel Restaurant boasts for its trout and I was out there the previous week (March 16th). I can assure that whatever I tasted was excellent giving it an A+. The manager of the hotel (Aki) has only fresh products and cooks everything with passion and love. He is talented I can admit and the guests who were at the hotel were extremely satisfied. Oh yes....and the excellent vegetable soup! It was great. I spent 4 nights at the hotel and each night there was something else, each time a surprise. I tasted different dishes, and had nice red wine to accompany each meal.I noticed that many times some extra dishes were sent out to guests just to taste for free. Of course everyone loved them.In the evening we used to sit by the fireplace and chat, and there was always a game of backgammon with Aki’s father with one of the guests.I can only find positive comments to make for this...

Lofou Tavern: Authentic Cypriot Cuisine!

by greekcypriot

If you come to Lofou Tavern you will see the whole family at work. The hosts are very hospitable and try their best to please even the most difficult tastes.Costa’s family gives you the real authentic Cypriot cuisine and the restaurant is not only very popular to tourists but locals as well who come here again and again. I came to Lofou on Sunday noon for the first time, amazed to see so many people. Immediately I thought that people come here because they find quality food.The portions are huge, and all products are fresh, mostly from the family’s garden. The inside décor has the pure authentic traditional style with many old photos from the family. The whole atmosphere takes you back to another era. It is so cozy sitting by the fireplace.The restaurant remains closed on Mondays, but it opens in the evenings if there are guests in the studios of the owner. (Agrovino). You can have...

Stephanos Oasis Restaurant: Lady's Mile

by MrBill

Some Cypriots will drive all the way to the seaside town of Zygi for fresh seafood on a Sunday afternoon. Lunch is a family affair and lasts all afternoon. In Limassol, many residents feel that Old Lada's Seafood Taverna in the Old Town near the Old Harbor has the best fish. While others prefer La Mera's seafood restaurant on the sea front. I have tried them all many times. For me the best kept secret for fresh fish and seafood is in a little wooden shack out at Lady's Mile just on the other side of the New Harbor. Hardly any tourists go there, which is a bonus. The place is literally tacked together. Nothing fancy. They change the walls with the season. More room inside during the winter with a wood stove in the middle. More room outside during the summer with tables on the beach. The waves are within feet of where your sitting along with the seagulls that swoop in to eat bread crumbs...

Rio Bravo Saloon: a lil' south of the border, south of the 33rd

by MrBill

So maybe in your lexicon hot & spicey Mexican good does not go hand in hand with a beach vacation, but what about frozen margarhitas? ; - ) The Rio Bravo Saloon serves up some inexpensive food in generous proportions and has a casual cowboy type atmosphere for kicking back and enjoying a cirvéza under the circulating fans when it is blistering hot outside. Actually, this is an evenings place. Get there around 19.00-20.00 to get a good table on the outdoor terrace. The locals will arrive around 8 p.m. and then it will be quite crowded. I ordered all the usual Mexican fare. It was fair. Just a nice place for a change of pace after you get burnt out on mixed mezes and want to try some mesa food. You cannot go wrong with the frozen margarhitas in this place in any case.

Pantopoulion in Old Market: the best mixed meze in Cyprus

by MrBill

Okay, be forewarned, everywhere you look in Cyprus you will be told, 'this is the best mixed meze in Cyprus' and even some of the guide books will steer you to the typical tourist trap type places that normally only cater to busloads of tourists that do not know better. The honest to goodness truth is that a lot of the mixed mezes are not fresh and not very good. Now, you have been warned. One notable exception is the Old Market Square located in the Old Town. This is a warm & cozy restaurant in the wintertime and is cool & inviting in the summertime. It does serve the best mixed meze that I have had so far in over one year. If you order a mixed meze for three and there are four of you, I doubt whether you will be able to finish it? I am not just talking quantity naturally, but it is freshly prepared and very well done. When they say 15-dishes, they mean 15-different dishes and they...
