Restaurants (that our family enjoys!)
Some suggested restaurants, on or not too far from the resort...
Note that generally all Cyprus restaurants warmly welcome children at any time.
On the Resort...
Golf Clubhouse
For a quick and tasty bite, this is an easy choice. Good prices for the quality of food. You can also sit outside for drinks or food (by the golf course).
You can also have breakfast here in the mornings if you don’t feel like eating at the villa.

Anoi Pub & Restaurant
The Village Square bar is great for a drink. It also shows most major sports events. Snacks and full meals are also served (mainly pub-type fare, and not our particular favourite, but you may think differently!). You can be there in 5 mins! It’s situated just behind the supermarket at the Village Square (up the stairs).

Eleonas Restaurant at the Hotel
Great for the breakfast buffet if you feel like a treat and want to fill up for the day with as much as you can manage. Go through the main hotel entrance, straight out the other side, down the steps and the restaurant is on your right. Prices are €15 per adult €9 per child.
In Kouklia Village...
Thanasis Place
Great local Cypriot cuisine in a friendly, family run restaurant. Very reasonably priced.
Just a five minute drive away in Kouklia village. www.thanasistavern.com Traditional music on Friday nights.
Drive out of the resort, turn right, stay on the B6. Take the first signposted turning for Kouklia. At the top of this road, turn right, then turn left into the village. Turn left again for car parking.
Gabriels Tavern
Another great local, family run Cypriot restaurant at very reasonable prices. Great meze at €15 per person. Often has live music. Check their Facebook page for details (https://www.facebook.com/GabrielsTavern.Kouklia?fref=ts)
In Pissouri Bay...
To get here, turn left out of the resort and stay on the B6. Keep going straight through Pissouri (you’ll pass the Papantoniou supermarket on your left) for about another 2 kms. Then take the right hand turn signposted for Pissouri Bay (& Beach). Don't take the first turn after the supermarket - that's Pissouri village! The road turns sharply left just after you’ve turned right - watch out, as it’s not well signposted! It’s about another 1.5 kms down to Pissouri Bay itself, where you can park on the street (or there is a car park close to the beach (turn left at the mini roundabout).
Captain's Bay
Lovely family run restaurant right on the beach. Great views and good local food, pastas, fish, steaks etc.

Pizza Venetto
This is a cheap and cheerful italian with huge pizzas which our kids adore. Very good prices - we normally share a couple of medium pizzas between our four kids.
Located on the left as you come into Pissouri Bay.

Indian restaurant directly opposite Pizza Venetto. Take away or eat in.

In Pissouri Village...
There are lots of restaurants around the Village Square - walk up to the right side the square and walk along the narrow street and take your pick. You can even sit at the bar tables outside and order takeaway from any of the nearby restaurants!
Steakhouse By Michael
Fine dining steakhouse - pricey, but very good, well worth a visit if your budget allows.

Pretty courtyard restaurant... one of our favourites. Great varied menu of local favourites, italian dishes, and steaks.

In Mandria...
To get here, turn right out of the resort and stay on the B6. Follow the road as though heading back to the airport and you’ll see the signpost for Mandria pointing left. Take the turning and drive straight down into the village. There is a small car park on the left hand side as you enter the village.
Mandria Fish & Chips
Renowned locally for it’s excellent fish & chips. But it has a lot more on the menu besides (obviously mainly fish themed, but also has some meat as well).

Really good Italian pasta and pizzas with some nice outdoor tables

Omikron Brunch (Old Town)
Fantastic for brunch, great buzz.

Koutourou Ouzeri (Old Town)
You can't get better local modern Cypriot food than this. Really interesting small restaurant near the town hall - full of character, and amazing food from an excellent chef (the kitchen is open so you can wander in and take a look!).

In Limassol…
Follow the A6 motorway to Limassol (Lemesos). For easy parking, park at the Limassol Marina and walk a short distance to the old town.
Artima/Stretto
Two restaurants side by side in the Carob Mill complex right beside the castle in the old town. Same wide ranging menu (even sushi!). Different vibes - Stretto is more relaxed (and has an extra snack/sandwich menu) while Artima is more luxurious. Take your pick… the food is excellent!
