Where to eat in Limassol: iconic restaurants and prices

Where to try the tastiest meze? Time Out magazine in London has named Artima Bistro (Vasilissis 11 | Lanitis Carob Mill) Limassol's best Mediterranean restaurant. But we warn you right away, this place is not cheap. So, if your budget is limited, go for Cypriot treats to inexpensive restaurants in Limassol. For example, in Ocean Basket (near Appolonia Hotel or in My Mall). A huge portion of seafood here costs about 15 EUR.

To get acquainted with traditional Cypriot cuisine you can also try small cafes in Limassol, where the price for lunch does not exceed 5 EUR. For this money you'll be treated to local Suvalaki kebab, fries and salad. And even if you go to McDonald's for a bite to eat, you'll get a Cypriot-style hamburger with halloumi goat cheese and slices of marinated lunza pork.

Have a sweet tooth? Limassol's best cafés - Stretto Café, Delizie Café, Costa Coffee - offer traditional Mediterranean sweets such as baklava, loukoumia and suzoukos (the equivalent of churchkhela).

Fans of Japanese cuisine should check out Benzai-Ten (353, 28th October St, Kanika Sea Forum), Georgian cuisine at Tiflis's (Georgiou A14, Andrea Court, Shop 3-5, Germasogia), and Italian cuisine at Pepperoni Pizza. There is also a Russian restaurant in Limassol - Taras Bulba Tavern (12 Amathuntos Avenue - Sun City Court, Moutayiaka).

If you want to tip the waiter, you don't have to tip 10% of the total bill. It will be enough to leave 2-5 EUR.
