This
is
the
kind
of
place
that
makes
you
want
to
go
back
to
other
reviews
elsewhere
and
bump
their
5
stars
down
to
4.
This
was
something
exceptional.
I’ve
been
in
Cyprus
17
years
and
eaten
and
countless
venues,
and
this
has
entered
by
top
5
dining
experiences.
I
was
brought
her
by
my
Cypriot
brother
in
law
and
his
Swedish
partner
who
insisted
I
would
be
impressed.
I
mention
this
as
my
bar
was
pre-set
quite
high.
They
^did
not^
disappoint.
I
was
gobsmacked!
The
welcome
at
the
entry
was
lovely
(in
Cyprus
often
you
feel
like
scum
if
a
place
is
popular
by
the
door
guard).
We
were
swiftly
and
with
a
welcome
smile
taken
to
our
table
(tip:
when
booking
ask
for
the
view
tables
on
the
balcony
-
oh,
and
book
2-3
days
in
advance
to
avoid
disappointment).
We
began
with
a
cocktail
as
we
were
thirsty.
Wow!
I
got
the
‘unconditional’
with
amaretto,
fresh
passion
fruit,
lemon
and
the
Greek
spirit
Majuni.
Incredible!
We
then
settled
in
for
our
meat
meze
(you
can
choose
between
a
meat,
vegetarian
and
vegan
meze).
I’ve
had
hundreds
of
meze
meals
in
Cyprus,
and
this
was
a
real
treat!
They
play
with
local
flavours
and
techniques
to
deliver
Cypriot
traditional
food
with
a
modern,
yet
non
invasive,
innovative
twist
(if
that
makes
sense?!).
The
tyrokafteri
dip
was
to
die
for
with
its
caramelised
peanuts
and
sesame
topping
complementing
the
tangy
whipped
cream
cheese.
The
bulgur
and
beetroot
bowl
was
yummy
and
the
chickpeas
with
tahini
was
refreshing.
Their
tzantziki
was
true
to
form.
Their
fresh
baked
potatoes,
my
grandmother
will
be
upset
to
hear
me
say
this,
but
they
may
just
have
been
the
best
I’ve
ever
had
in
Cyprus.
I
salivate
for
more!
The
salad
was
traditional
with
carob
molasses
and
anari,
a
perfect
mix
and
not
too
much
to
go
wasted.
Just
right.
Clearly
the
chefs
have
chosen
the
loukanika
(sausages)
and
lountza
(smoked
ham)
because
they
were
undoubtably
the
best
quality
possible.
Tasted
as
if
you
were
in
the
meat
smoking
room
with
it!
The
halloumi,
well,
halloumi
is
halloumi
-
it
is
always
a
winner.
Then
the
main
event.
Pork
souvla
and
pork
souvlaki,
and
chicken
gyro
(doner).
They
were
complemented
with
herbs
and
the
souvla
even
had
a
grape
must
and
mustard
drizzle
to
enhance
the
flavour!
Just
amazing.
We
finalized
the
food
trip
with
mushrooms
in
sauce
-
and
whatever
it
was,
was
clearly
magic
as
I
even
drank
the
sauce!
The
staff
are
marvelous.
They
are
all
friendly,
attentive,
careful
and
knowledgeable.
They
spoke
Greek
and
English
well
and
they
seemed
to
be
very
happy
to
work
there.
They
were
kind
and
fun
with
my
daughter
who
came
along.
She
mentioned
she
wanted
the
passion
fruit
in
my
cocktail
so
they
brought
her
a
passion
fruit
as
a
gift.
So
sweet!
The
venue
itself.
Gorgeous!
A
spectacular
view,
a
delightful
vine
growing
and
shading
the
balcony,
a
tasteful
and
classy
interior
and
fresh
air
all
round.
It’s
right
in
the
old
town
so
a
pre
or
post
dinner
walk
is
ideal.
Will
return
and
bring
locals
and
tourists
alike
to
experience
this
gem
of
a
joint!
Thank
you
folks!
