Restaurant review: The Monkfish, Paphos
By Sarah CoyneA friend whose gastronomic opinion I trust implicitly told me that there were only two excellent fish restaurants in Paphos, so I wondered if The Monkfish, which has recently opened on the coast road, perhaps could be a third option?The restaurant is sited one floor up in a large white development on the road between Paphos and Coral Bay and to serve everyone’s needs is accessed by stairs or a lift. Once upstairs there are extensive terraces Read More
Restaurant review: Red Pepper, Larnaca
There are some restaurants dotted around Larnaca that you won’t stumble across while having a stroll in town, which is more the pity. One such restaurant is Red Pepper; tucked away behind a bank on one of Larnaca’s main roads it has been in operation since 2010.With friends visiting, we decided to try something different from the norm and headed there.

Restaurant review: Gourmet Taverna, Paphos
Most of us have a favourite ‘go to’ restaurant where we like to take visitors, celebrate special occasions or just start the weekend off in style. Gourmet Taverna in Kato Paphos is that for many.

Bar review: Stories day & night bar, Larnaca
In recent years, the bar scene in Larnaca has greatly improved. The old, once dilapidated buildings of the Laiki Yitonia area have been restored and rejuvenated while still keeping a lot of their original features, meaning that the bars are not only in beautiful stone buildings with character but also have their own twist of modern design.Walking around the area one night, we heard the sound of music in the distance. As we walked along it got louder and Read More
Restaurant review: The Noodle House, Limassol
Going out to dinner in Limassol can be a bit hit and miss but every now and again you strike gold. Located at the far end of St Andrew’s Street is The Noodle House, and any closer to gold it would shimmer. It is casual, yet elegant. Large tables, wide chairs, simple settings. An open kitchen gently lures us inside with a plethora of unusual scents. Fires dance on stoves and pans clatter gently amid the dull murmur of conversation. Read More

Restaurant review: Voreas, Larnaca

Bar review: The Secret Garden, Larnaca
With the weather slowly changing, it is now more bearable to go out for an afternoon stroll down town. After walking through Larnaca’s busy Phinikoudes we decided to sit for a drink but wanted some peace and quiet, not to be sat in one of the packed out cafés along the sea front.Walking away from Phinikoudes towards St Lazarus church, my partner spotted a couple of endearing tables and chairs on the cobblestone pavement so we went to take Read More

The 17th Leadership and HR Management Conference
Transitioning successful family businesses in CyprusFor the founders of family businesses all over the world, succession has always been an important issue. In Cyprus, where 95% of companies are family-owned and the vast majority were set up during the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s, a well-planned handover by the founders – who, in many cases, are well past retirement age – to second and third generation family members is even more essential if their companies are to continue to thrive.

Bar review: Re.buke, Larnaca
The Makenzy area has for a long time been a place where people flock, be it for a day at the beach, somewhere to eat or simply for a drink.

One bar however, has proved that they are not punching above their weight and look like they may be a mainstay in the area is Re.buke.Re.buke is the first Read More
Restaurant review: Ifalos, Protaras
It being summer, we headed recently to Protaras, which being near full capacity meant we ended up staying away from the main strip, towards Paralimni. Despite not being in the thick of it, the beaches were still beautiful and there were plenty of bars and restaurants about, including one that had come highly recommended and was only a 10-minute walk away.Struggling to find it we learnt that it had shut down. Not wanting to walk much further we simply Read More
Restaurant review To Patrikon Tersefanou Larnaca
If somebody recommended a taverna in a small village, 15 minutes outside of Larnaca, you would assume that it is just another traditional restaurant with the standard meze, possibly with a few dishes that aren’t expected but still nothing too extravagant. Going to To Patrikon taverna in Tersefanou, I’m almost ashamed to say that this is more or less what I expected. But the family-run taverna that has been perfecting the art of creative Cypriot cuisine for the last three Read More
Restaurant review The Marrakech Restaurant Paphos
One of the great joys for me of living in the Mediterranean is the seemingly infinite variations of the same dishes. The different combinations of herbs and spices that produce the signature taste of different countries. Also the country-by-country speciality dishes that mark out the different areas around the region, all underlined by the basics of lamb, pork, chicken, chickpeas and lentils and unleavened bread.The Marrakech Restaurant on the coast road in Kissonerga is a prime example of Mediterranean Read More

Bar review Athina Bar Lounge Amathus Hotel Limassol

While not the most adventurous of dishes, when cooked properly it can be extremely tasty and very satisfying.

Restaurant review Grazie Paphos
The Grazie Italian Restaurant in Kato Paphos must surely rank among the town’s top 10 restaurants, a place where the menu, the chef and the food that exits the kitchen take priority over the senselessness and chronic rudeness displayed these days by so many phone-addicted punters who seem to be following the credo that they ‘eat to live’ and instead of ‘living to eat’. I love food and always relish the theatrical experience a restaurant can offer, with the good Read More
