One of the best things about island life is the fact you can sample delicious, freshly caught seafood, whenever you fancy. Cyprus isn’t short of seafood restaurants, but here’s our pick of the best.
Almar Seafood Bar, Larnaca
Almar’s relaxed atmosphere and ever-changing, exciting menus have long made it a favourite with both visitors and locals. You’ll find a shady outdoor space that’s perfect for sitting down to delicious brunches or selections of small plates at lunchtime. And in the evening, you can sample lobster, oysters, or carpaccio and tartare dishes. Or, simply take your pick from the daily catches on display in the counter.

You’ll find the Captain’s Table in an unbeatable location overlooking the local fishing boats in Zygi Marina. For the last 20 years, this traditional taverna has been serving delicious dishes that showcase seafood caught locally that very morning. Choose from a selection of daily catches, or opt for their platters of hot and cold meze, freshly made pasta dishes, or grilled calamari (squid), octopus, and cuttlefish.
