The holiday season in Cyprus is all about cozy gatherings, laughter, and, of course, delicious food. If you’re looking to step out of the kitchen this Christmas or New Year, these eight restaurants across Limassol, Nicosia, and Paphos promise festive dinners that hit all the right notes.
Limassol: The Alasia Hotel and The Polo Bar Restaurant dazzle guests with carefully curated Christmas decorations and a full holiday program, setting the stage for memorable nights with family and friends. For a warm, elegant vibe, Salt & Fire in Agios Ioannis Malountas pairs wintery aesthetics with cozy fires, making it the perfect festive retreat. Meanwhile, COR Gastronomy presents two exclusive holiday menus from Chef Chris Theofanous, blending seasonal flavors with modern techniques and refined simplicity.
Nicosia: The city’s ῥοῦς restaurant, led by chef Triantafyllos Souliotis, puts a contemporary Mediterranean spin on Cypriot flavors for holiday diners (excluding New Year’s Eve and Day). And at Pralina Experience, the festive menu and live jazz and Christmas melodies turn every visit into a little holiday escape in the heart of the capital.
Paphos: Wine lovers should head to Ethos Vin Soiree, a chic wine bar boasting over 200 labels from Cyprus and abroad, paired with a dynamic holiday program of unique culinary experiences. Passione Wine Bar & Food brings Christmas magic on December 23, with classic flavors like mini beef tartare alongside creative dishes like swordfish schnitzel, complemented by a curated festive wine list.
Limassol again: For New Year’s Eve, Acane, inspired by Latin American flavors, offers a hearty festive dinner and top-notch wines selected by Cyprus’ first Master Sommelier, Sotiris Neophytides, all accompanied by DJ Tanya App spinning the perfect holiday tunes, all for €125 per person.
