👍 A nice seafood place with lots of choice. We tried the halloumi (suggest to try as was extremely tasty), seafood platter and margarita pizza. We were also given warm bread with butter to start with which was very delicious and enjoyed it a lot. The only downside was that would have liked the potato...

    A nice seafood place with lots of choice. We tried the halloumi (suggest to try as was extremely tasty), seafood platter and margarita pizza. We were also given warm bread with butter to start with which was very delicious and enjoyed it a lot. The only downside was that would have liked the potatoes in the seafood platter to be a little more cooked.

    Very rude waiter. Not recommend to anyone. There is a lot of places nearby, don’t ruin your day please. Updated: Ok, I will add more details, as the comment below trying to distort the real picture. The way this comment was written, that’s exactly the way of communication of this place: lying, lying and lying with arrogance! Long story short - the waiter start his conversation to my wife with rude NO, while she was trying to sit on chair with a table for 4-6 persons (there were absolute no customers on that time), but then he decided to ask “how many people there will be?” and then he aked SafePass (before we could sit down) and I told him that he was acting rude to my wife. I want to share some thoughts with the owner of this place: If your personal will act rude to your customers and then lie to protect themselfs, they will destroy the reputation of the restaurant and could damage the business. Sometimes there could be missunderstanding, but if your personal couldn’t manage these situations in a polite and freindly (without blaming customers) way that’s a big problem. Good luck! P.S. after this rude incident, we went to place nearby Noir, and there were no problems with the service and hospitality (no aggressive and rude behaviour, no lie). So fully recommends, just few minutes walking distance! :)

    As a single traveler I came here around 9pm and since half the tables were empty I sat on the smallest I could find and waited for the menu. A waiter then came and asked me if he could help me - I politely asked for the menu but he told me since I didn't have a reservation I must leaves. The entire inside of the restaurant was empty. I even would've sat inside to have my quick dinner. During these corona times one would think that restaurants shouldn't scare tourists away like this. Of course us tourists don't have reservations - nowhere else in Cyprus this was an issue. As a flight attendant I travel the world and I was made feel terrible and had to leave in front of everyone watching. Someone who sat in that restaurant later told me that at least a third of the tables remained unoccupied. What a joke!

    Eating out in Cyprus is often a deja vu. A lot of places copy each other, making the wine and dine experience monotone. Ambiance, on the other hand, does something different and succeeds in it. Offering a gin cart with over 99 different gins and a matching menu, makes visiting Ambience a must. The waiter will surprise you with a custom made gin cocktail matching your preferences while you are served with delicious meals. As a cherry, the place is nicely decorated making you escape from the streets of Paphos into modern Donald Draper look a like establishment.

    Really lovely staff, but that's as far as it goes. A gin bar with no gin (except on display) and a seafood bar with no fresh fish. Great concept. Poor execution.

    As for me, it's one of the best places here! There are a fantastic meal and diverse menu. The attentive staff and inviting ambiance made the experience truly memoable. I highly recommend it for a delightful dinner outing!

    Horribly unpleasant manager, won't be back again! re: You are lying, I was completely sober decently dressed and was with my 3 year old daughter who wanted to use the restroom. I completely understand why there were only 2 tables in your establishment and the establishment across the street was full of people. Your anger and bad energy is shutting down your luck, get back on the bright path and all will be well with you)

  • 5/5 Ronald V. 6 months ago on Google
    Went there tonight, choice of Gin was amazing and the food definitely recommended. We had Tagliatelle and the mussels. Simply amazing! And more importantly the service by the nicest person in Cyprus for sure. Would give 6 stars if possible. If you would transport this place and staff to London or Amsterdam it would be a hit.

  • 5/5 Shane M. 10 months ago on Google
    We popped in here for a pre-meal glass of wine each. We did not eat here. We had to try to local white and red. Delicious. The gentleman serving is very knowledgeable and friendly. Very strong wine too 😂😂 highly recommend.

    We had an excellent lunch, really tasty hot chicken wrap and the second dish was pork pitta, portions very generous, staff friendly and helpful, local wine and beer recommendations were spot on. Definitely worth a stop off.

  • 5/5 Loïc V. 7 months ago on Google
    I went three times in this wonderful bistrot and would definitely recommand ! The food is so tasty, especially the French Cuisine which is like in France where I come from. Big up to the waiter and the chef, I will come back for sure my next time in Cyprus.

    We've been there yesterday and all I can say is that the owner was very nice and the food was very delicious! We really can recommend the moussaka. 👍🏼

  • 5/5 Nicole W. 1 year ago on Google
    The nicest service I have ever seen! Salmom and burger - heaven in the mouth! We are delighted. We will be recommending this restaurant to everyone. Location also great.

  • 1/5 megan h. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was disgusting, 1/10. My partner forced himself to eat the seafood platter out of politeness because the server had such an attitude it wasn’t worth complaining. We even have a 10% tip and this was sniffed at. Would highly recommend staying away from this place. High reviews must be down to friends and family. Buck your ideas up. I can see from past reviews that you don’t take well to feedback or constructive criticism and will formulate some story to paint you in a good light but I strongly recommend you reconsider the quality of your food and staff

  • 2/5 Antigoni L. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was very good especially as there was only one waiter doing everything alone! Menu catered for vegan in our company which was a big plus. Unfortunately food was very dry (burger and chicken wrap) and we left quite disappointed. There was also a lot of noise/shouting from a neighbouring flat and someone chopping wood after 9pm! We wont be going back.

  • 5/5 Sarah P. 1 year ago on Google
    Superb service. Went in for drinks and the waiter bought out a platter of appetisers for us. He also bought out a few Gins for us to try and some crisps. Very knowledgeable about the gins and had a great variety to try with different tonics and mixers. A few people were eating at the same and the portions were big and food looked delicious. Hoping to go back to eat ourselves
