One of the wonderful parts of going on holiday to a different country, for me, is the food! Cyprus is not only blessed with year round sunshine, around three hundred days a year but also has lots of wonderful restaurants with an array of cuisines on offer. So if you feel like eating French or Lebanese food while visiting this sunny island, you can find it all here. If you wish, you could try a new cuisine every day and when you are relaxed and watching the world go by as you soak in the sunshine, what better way to create some wonderful holiday memories than to tantalize your taste buds at the same time! So sit back, grab yourself a snack and read about the best places we have selected for you to eat in Cyprus.

What could be better than to step off a beach and straight into a restaurant serving good quality and heart warming food? The location of Maqam Al Sultan could not be better, right in front of Phinikoudes beach, which is a lively area with amazing scenery. On the extensive menu is what you would expect in a Lebanese restaurant: hummus, moussaka, shawarma, and falafel.
