If you’re after the most refined, recently launched food experiences in Cyprus this summer, these extraordinary new venues combine exotic cuisine with elegant ambiance.
At Limassol Marina, MATA is Cyprus’s first and only Korean restaurant, having opened just weeks ago. It brings authentic dishes like samgyeopsal, bibimbap, bulgogi, tteokbokki, and Korean fried chicken wings made with imported Korean ingredients and specialised equipment. Pair your dish with soju, Makgeolli rice wine, or Korean beer such as Cass and Hite for an immersive experience.
Nearby, Acane, launched by the team behind Dionysus Mansion, blends Latin American inspiration with Cypriot flair. The sharing-style menu features fine cuts of meat selected from display, alongside ceviche and aguachile seabass prepared raw at the station. Open for dinner only (soon adding lunch menus), expect an elegant, experiential evening of surf‑and‑turf flavours.
Also in Limassol, the iconic Beefbar has opened at the Amara Hotel. Part of the renowned international steakhouse group, it brings premium cuts from Japan, Australia and the US, along with street‑food‑meets‑gourmet plating. The luxurious minimalist setting is perfect for food lovers seeking a culinary celebration in steak artistry.
At the Four Seasons in Agios Tychonas, the elegant pan‑Asian restaurant M Fusion—headed by chef Stavros Kakofengitis—joins the island’s top-tier scene. Its sharing‑style menu includes salmon tartare, tuna tartare and wagyu beef steak, all served in a sleek, minimal terrace setting overlooking the sea.
For something lighter but equally refined, Anaïs, a French Gastro‑Club in the City of Dreams Mediterranean resort, is worth the journey. It combines Côte d’Azur‑style gastronomy with live music and performance. Expect fresh seafood, refined classic French dishes and elegant cocktails, all in a sophisticated entertainment environment.
