Restaurant review: Mare E Monti, Paphos
March 23, 2023
When you venture into a new restaurant, it is well worth considering what makes us go through that door for the first time. Was it a personal recommendation? The location? The menu? Or the chef? In this instance, it was certainly not the location, as the Mare e Monti is on a strip of substantial concrete hotels in Paphos and not even on the ground floor.
Having parked in the large car park to the side, we went up the stairs to the side (there is also a lift), and a very different interior to the one downstairs awaits you. It felt cosy and warm, and if you ignore the plastic grapes hanging from the lights, it is smart, if a little dated, but with large tables and very comfortable chairs. In the summer, the large terraces outside would undoubtedly come into their own. My visit was mainly because I had heard that the chef, George Halkides, had recently joined the team.
