The Caprice Restaurant -Londa

Saturday, January 12, 2013
Limassol, Cyprus
A VERY PROMISING ITALIAN CUISINE ! 






On every trip to Cyprus I ask friends who dine out regularly to recommend one or two nice restaurants…perhaps new ones . I am after quality and taste and extremely picky. I am a person who values good food and my closest friends know this well.

One of the two restaurants I was urged to visit while in Limassol was the Caprice. It was out of the question to go somewhere else and not come here when I heard the name of the Chef. I happened to know him and have dined a couple of times at the Italian chic restaurant of Kolonaki where he previously worked for a year. It happens to be close to where we live.



My first thought when I heard the name was that the Londa is lucky to have him but Cyprus as well.



The Caprice is a Signature and very popular Restaurant in Limassol favoured by celebrities and for many years on the Top list of the best in Cyprus -I dined a couple of times here some years back .

The restaurant as well as the rest of the Hotel has simple lines of contemporary interiors, bright, pleasing and very relaxing facilities. The options of dining are either inside the beautiful dining room, the terrace or deck overlooking the stunning views of the Mediterranean.



I was curious to taste the new cuisine of Caprise based on signature Seafood dishes. Giovanni recommended the Staffed Calamaro -a savoury tantalizing dish full of colour and taste worth to give it a try.

The Obergine soufflé with Caprino cheese and roasted langoustine was celestial –indeed a gastronomical delight but at the same time, I cannot find words to describe the Tuna Carpaccio with fennel risotto. Indeed it was –the piece de resistance, simply ambrosia!

The other exceptional dish I tried was Risotto with melon and crispy prosciutto . I found it flavoursome and yummy.

For the first time I tried Roasted Salmon in red vine sauce with potatoes. All other times I had it steamed or grilled but it was delicious and so tempting.

For dessert I had the Sicilian Tube. What a conception! A piece of art which I did not want to spoil at first…a sweet sensation!



The new menu is indeed interesting and Giovanni has set impressive standards. I knew the restaurant as a good one, but I found it outstanding now.

People prefer it because of its unparalleled service, fine quality ingredients, and good value for money. I highly recommend it for a friendly gathering, a romantic outing or a special occasion.
