Restaurant Reviews

I must tell you, self-professed winter lovers, these past few days did nothing to win me over to your side. Cyprus needs rain, badly, and I very much welcome a ...

We were staying in Lefkara village and had deliberately decided not to set alarms or rush ourselves in the morning. No early breakfast, no hotel buffet, just a proper lie-in ...

With the winter weather bringing colder temperatures, our craving for warm, hearty dishes increases. Nothing says winter food more than a traditional roast dinner. It has been ages since we ...

It’s a beautiful winter day. The sun is out under a cloudless sky, yet a chilly wind cuts through it all. The season has truly turned. And what better ...

They say that repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is the definition of stupidity. In the context of visiting the same restaurant multiple times ...

Spontaneity can be fun but perhaps not the best idea on a weekday afternoon. Most places were ‘closing soon’ and opening again in the evening but we remembered the sister ...

The tradition of tea drinking in Cyprus, with herbal varieties, existed long before a member of the English nobility created afternoon tea in the 19th century. It was designed to ...

If I had the time and word-count limits didn’t exist, I’d tell you how this restaurant review veered into film-noir territory. I’d tell you how I combed ...

There’s something about a public holiday that makes you want to wander. We’d gone up to Lefkara village to stay the night, and the afternoon was perfect for ...

Is it cheating if you visit a restaurant knowing you’ll like it before you have even tried a morsel of its food? Perhaps. But revisiting a place you’ve ...

As the redevelopment of Paphos old town goes from strength to strength, the added benefit for foodies is the opening of new restaurants and wine bars. Last year, I passed ...

Operating since 1969, and since 1989 in its current location, Jack’s Pizza House is arguably the oldest pizzeria in Nicosia. Yes, the Jack’s. The mythical, legendary pizzeria that seems to ...

Bank holiday, good weather and the kind of mood that makes you want to get out and do something. A friend had suggested Smoothie Factory + Kitchen up in the Mercure, ...

I have walked past this restaurant hundreds of times strolling up and down Limassol’s Molos. Its distinctive sign, RED Restobar, always caught my eye but I never went in. ...

As the summer draws to a close, it seems the perfect time to share a restaurant that I have been to more than any other over the last few months. ...

Maybe you’ve dined at places so perfectly run they feel like a well-oiled machine. Maybe you’ve also eaten at spots that seem to have launched after watching a 15...

When friends visit from abroad, there are always one or two restaurants they insist on going back to. For our guests this summer, that place was Militzis in Larnaca, a ...

This review has been long in the making. When we visited Hungry Angry in Limassol’s Germasogeia area one crisp Autumnal evening last year, the place was packed. While this ...

One of the latest places in Paphos offering a touch of culinary theatre is Geppetto restaurant, the adult-only dining space at M-Boutique hotel, which opened just over a year ago. ...

This time around, my faithful dining companion and I decided to try a well-established joint that thrives on a clever illusion: dining in as if it were the upper echelons ...

Arranging dinner in summer is always a little game of back and forth. Somewhere air conditioned? Somewhere by the sea? In the end, the decision was obvious. We wanted the ...

August is always the month when the idea of relocating to live above the humidity line has great appeal. Living at sea level with the humidity means summers are long ...

I have no issues with fine dining. I am as partial to unholy amounts of butter being used as the next person, and I certainly appreciate a chef who has ...

Sometimes, even if that “sometimes” is peak summer, you just get a craving for classic bar and grill – the deliberate duality of an establishment focused on serving alcohol (that’s ...
