Melanda Beach Taverna

The Melanda Beach taverna is located a few kilometres to the east of Pissouri, signposted from the main road. (If approaching by motorway, leave at the Avdimou exit, then head south.)

Its idyllic location overlooks a delightful bay and beach, uncrowded even at the busiest times, and has to be seen to be believed. The sea is perfect for children, being shallow a long way out, gradually increasing in depth.

Full taverna menu, particularly excellent for fresh fish. Very reasonable prices.

If you want to visit a really traditional Cypriot tavrena do not miss a trip to George at his Famagusta Taverna in Avdimou. Simple food grilled over real charcoal - large succulent pork chops, chicken, lamb - and excellent grilled halloumi. Prices very reasonable too. Really somewhere not to be missed.

Just one junction east on the motorway from Pissouri, then north into Avdimou village.

The Last Castle

Probably the best taverna in Cyprus! A delightful restaurant off the beaten track, the road up to it rough, best with 4WD. They only offer souvla (meat grilled on a rotating spit over charcoal, with jacket or wedges) but it is really the very best. Eat under the vine leaves, with wonderful views down to the sea.

If you go tell Frosso you saw it here and Roger sent you!

Although it is open daily in the season, it is best to telephone first to make sure. Probably inadvisable to try to get here without an off-road vehicle.

Taken from Scottis restaurant menu

Scotti's Steak House: Scotti established his steak restaurant in Limassol more than 30 years ago. It has always been a traditional Cypriot establishment, and it has become a highly regarded institution over the years, primarily because of the quality of the steaks. The author was first introduced to Scotti's in 1977, and has returned as frequently as possible ever since. Despite all the excellent tavernas, the author has found nowhere to match the excellence of the food, particularly the steaks, at this restaurant, which featured in his novel the Emerald Aphrodite.

It was therefore with great sadness that it was learnt that Scotti, who had been ill for sometime, died in July 2002. He will be remembered as the founder of the best steak restaurant in Cyprus.

Fortunately for those who wish to enjoy his quality in the future, he passed his secrets onto his daughter, Debbie, who is continuing to operate the restaurant - and the quality of the steaks remain just as excellent as ever. Indeed she has totally refurbished the restaurant, and after going through a number of difficult years, it has once again become one of the very best eating places in Limassol, with Debbie appealing to the younger clientele again, as well as catering for her father's traditional guests. Not only has this not reduced the quality of the food, if anything it has improved along with the comfort and decor of the restaurant.

Therefore, if you do want to leave Pissouri for a meal one day, you must try Scottis. You find it like this: Drive to Limassol by motorway. On reaching the first roundabout, go straight on past Ophanides supermarket. Turn right at the side of the supermarket, then first left, followed by a first left, and another first right. If you are still with me you are now going in the same direction as when you went past the side of the supermarket. Now turn right at the first traffic lights. Follow the main road until you reach another set of lights. Cross Makarios Avenue and you cannot miss Scottis on the left, just over the lights. The address is 38 Souliou Street, Arch Makarios Ave, Limassol - tel 25 575173
