The food in Limassol is as tasty as it is in every other part of Cyprus.

Tasty food can be found everywhere in the area, both in the mountainous and in coastal areas. If you are a city lover then don´t miss to visit the "Katoi" restaurant. 

"To Katoi" restaurant

Particularly known among the locals, "To Katoi" is a restaurant that makes a lot of references to the Medieval traditions in Limassol. "To Katoi" is very well hidden, since you have to walk into narrow alleys and through traditional stone-built houses, so as to discover it. It is located in the village of Omodos and it is a restaurant that carries the tradition of several centuries.

The restaurant is housed in an old building with large arches in its dining area, carved stones on the walls and a traditional fireplace, which is mainly used during the wintertime. The building counts almost 500 years of construction. Due to the stones and the way that it is constructed, the restaurant can host visitors during winter and summer time.

The environment is perfect and offers a unique culinary experience. The menu includes Greek and Cypriot cuisine, giving a large range of options to pleasantly surprise its guests. Some of the dishes that you definitely need to taste when you find yourself in "To Katoi" are mousaka, orzo with wild mushrooms, beetroot salad with caramelized walnuts and yogurt sauce, as well as desserts that are all handmade,  such as "anari" cheesecake- it is the most popular dessert in the restaurant as it is made with local cheese.

In a daily base, you will find well-cooked dishes, from mousaka and stew to traditional souvlaki. The portions offered are kindly big and fulfilling, so you need to be really hungry to finish the entire plate. On Sundays, they tend to cook "kleftiko", a special dish that comes out of the traditional wood oven, and meat on the spit, rotating over the fire from early on.
