The days are gone when the Cypriot fish taverns were fighting over who offered the largest number of appetizers. Near the waves and by overlooking the sea or the traffic of the city, these are the 10 new age restaurants for fish that meet (our) conditions.
Almar Seafood Bar
Almar is one of our favourite restaurants in Cyprus for its elegance, positive atmosphere, excellent cuisine and the seamless sea view. The day here starts early in the morning, with breakfast options (bagel with smoked salmon, cream cheese, avocado and pomegranate mousse, tortillas with crab and much more) and continues with seafood with gourmet touches. The sea bass ceviche, with fresh sea bass, red onion, avocado puree, passion fruit and pea sprouts, Gambari fried shrimp and mayonnaise with sweet chili and grilled cuttlefish, with baby potatoes, tomato, lemon and virgin olive oil sauce. Extra bonus signature cocktails, such as Almar Island with vodka, gin, rum, Triplesec, peach liqueur, curacao, lime and pink grapefruit soda.

Kalamies Beach Restaurant
The first thing that wins you over in Kalamies is the white décor, the endless blue of the sea and the picturesque church of Agios Nikolaos (Saint Nicholas) in the background. A scene like from a movie, which has won our hearts since 1976. The second thing you will notice is their good menu which keeps the classic dishes we loved since a young age but also, adds new dishes every summer to keep us interested. We distinguish the fresh scallops, steamed fresh mussels, the carpaccio and tartar which they go perfectly with one of the wines of their well-informed wine cellar.
