The Garden

Tucked away opposite the Icon tower on the Germasogeia strip, The Garden is a leafy escape in the heart of Limassol where gazebos, running water and lush greenery make you forget you're in the city. Open from morning until midnight every day, it moves easily from a peaceful brunch to a relaxed late dinner. The kitchen serves modern eclectic cuisine that blends flavours from East and West, drawing on Japanese, Thai, Italian, French and Mediterranean influences, so you might find sushi, pizza, steaks and slow-cooked classics on the same menu.

Guests praise the attentive, welcoming service, the beautiful interior and standout outdoor setting, and the complimentary handmade bread. There's also a good, reasonably priced wine selection. Prices sit at the higher end, but reviewers consistently feel the quality and atmosphere justify the cost.

It's a lovely choice for a romantic evening, a special celebration or a slow morning with friends. Parking on surrounding streets can be tricky, so arriving early or on foot helps.
