    They have probably one of the worst sushi in Cyprus. The Salomon roll was like buying cold sushi from a fridge in a supermarket. The Ice lattè was lacking in taste. 18 euros for this was not worth it at all.

    Too crowded and too slow. The staff was lost. We ordered a salad and they brought it after 1 hour. Not to mention that they didn't bring any plates ... just the salad bowl... We also ordered a pizza that came uncut and of course with no plates. We had to cut it ourselves.

    By far one of the most chilling beach bars in Cyprus. Amazing food, service AND views of one of the best beach in Paralimni. Great music selection! Most of the time there is a Dj playing chilling beats and sometimes organizing evening events such as live music or djs. Depending on your mood you can choose from high chairs, comfortable pouf beach pillows or normal tables. Great food and coctails in fair prices. You should try the mussels with some white wine on an afternoon watching the sun goes down 😍🙌🍷Worth a visit!

    The view was magical and the location! Being able to jump into the water and cool off then return to your table was the best part of my experience. Such a vibrant beach bar, food and drinks were good, friendly staff, good music, clean bathrooms and showers as well. I definitely would recommend visiting Kalifi beach bar. Suitable for families, young to old!

    We popped in here due to Sirena beach being ‘closed’ for a wedding a few years ago just after construction had finished. The food was fantastic but it was all very new and it was finding it’s feet. Fast forward a few years to October 2022 and we took friends there during their first visit to Cyprus. To say it’s found it’s feet now is a huge understatement. Great during the day with some of the best food in the area (sublime salads and heavenly hummus) Kaliφi really comes alive in the evenings. It became our go to eatery, with their Greek barbecue night with entertainment being one of the highlights of the Holliday. We literally can’t wait to go back! The location, food, drinks, staff and atmosphere make this a must visit location for drinks and eats.

    Beautiful place, right on the water. Welcoming owners and awesome hospitality ❤️ The food is the best!! 🤤 Fresh and tasty calamari and the homemade taramasalata just does it for me.

    Nice party place in the weekends. Great atmosphere. Don’t know about the food. Prices ok. But double check your bill as we had errors not in our favour of course 😖

    Location of this place is Amazing, also nice and romantic atmosphere. However, the variety of dishes of very limited (for a dinner) - only 6 or so fish options. This place is more a bar than a restaurant. If you wish to have a good meal, better choose another place, but for a drink - they are good. In other places that we’ve been we were served with some small starters for free (pita bread with some dips and olives or olive pate), here they charged for pita bread that we asked and didn’t bring any starters, even olives. Also, there was live music and we were told in advance that we would be asked to pay 5€ per person for music. Ok, we can pay, but other places in Protaras provided live music (much better music) completely for free. At the end I saw a 20€ charge in our bill for music, and we were just 2. Good that we checked the bill and asked to correct it. Still do not get why would they change for the music, it looks so cheap off them. At the end we paid 80€ for 2ppl, which is almost a double of what we used to pay in other restaurants in Protaras. after all of this, they ‘offered’ us to leave some tips (5%, 10% or 15/20 %), which wasn’t a practice in other places too. You leave the tip if you want and as mush as you want! In my point of view, If you are looking for nice bar to take a drink go for it, if you want a good restaurant, choose another one and pass by after for drink

    very nice place, with a beautiful view of the sea. a great place where you can swim, and then drink a glass of wine or beer, or a cup of coffee with an incredible sea view. There is also a food menu, prices are average.

    We had a fantastic afternoon here after a kayak trip. Food was so fresh and lots of different choices. Local and other types. Great service, very engaging and helpful. Great staff, great music, great food and the pina coladas were something to behold. Thanks for a memorable experience.

    Was there in July as our host recommended this place because it was close to our apartment. We went there 2 evenings, without reservation and managed to find a table for 4. Drinks were great, they even made us a special requested mix. I liked the rum they use for long drinks and I also had some very good IPA beers 👌The location is what makes it special, right on the edge of some cliff. Live music was also a pleasant surprise, especially the traditional music evening

    Mussels were great! And the view is stunning at sunset. Our waitress was very kind and smiley which made our dinner even more enjoyable

  • 1/5 Elena P. 1 year ago on Google
    Unacceptable to charge side drinks with a 90€ bottle!!!! Everywhere else side soft drinks come for free. At least charge them the price you buy them! Truly unacceptable. Will not come again. Not even for water! Especially when we buy 5 eur each for music! This is robbery. Note that bill was for 6 people. Really dissapointed.

    The best thing about this place is it’s location, right on a lovely huge seaside deck. The service was also good. The food was not bad, but nothing to write home about. I had a vegetarian pizza and hubby had fish and chips. I would give this 3.5 stars if there were half star options. All in all, I think it’s a good place for an afternoon snack by the sea.

    You get plenty of food,but for me there could be more choice on the sandwich type option, I had tuna mayonnaise in Greek pitta bread and found it was to much tuna. Can't believe you would complain about to much filling, but found it sickly . Prices are good and staff are friendly

    Best beach bar in Cyprus! Amazing food, friendly environment, great music events (violin, saxophone etc). You should definitely visit such a lovely beach bar

  • 5/5 J T. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent place overall. Great location. Generally good service, although on weekends it can get incredibly busy so you must factor for this, especially when trying to find a place to sit. It seems a lot of the food on the menu is sourced from local restaurants so a number of dishes are a lot better than you'd expect. Live music is a regular occurrence, mostly Greek/Cypriot themed.

    Nice place, especially during the off-season.

  • 4/5 Ingeborg V. 1 year ago on Google
    The setting is amazing, overlooking the beach and coast - food is quite basic, but fresh and uncomplicated, family friendly!

  • 3/5 Suzie R. 1 year ago on Google
    The ONLY reason this gets a 3 🌟 is due to RUDE staff. Basically it's the only place to eat on this bay so they can be as rude as they want . And they was rude! ... its a beautiful setting for lunch after you've been in to the sea or participated in the water sports ( which we did & they were brilliant) but the restaurant itself was only let dine by the staff.

  • 1/5 Meglena T. 2 years ago on Google
