The Stretto Cafe/Restaurant -Limassol

Larnaca, Cyprus
Stretto is the sister restaurant to Artima, -part of the Lanitis Carob Mill complex. I can say it is another gem, a very trendy and popular spot in Limassol.

I visited it out of curiosity as my friends kept urging me to visit before I fly back to Greece .



The interior is trendy and vivid and there are flat TV sets, ideal to watch a sporting event.



The catalogue is long with a variety of Coffee specialties, starting from the cheapest in the list which is the Cypriot coffee at 2.50 euros. The coffee specialties start from 4.70 with the Espresso Caramel for instance, while the most expensive ones are at 6.80 euros (Espresso, vodka, cointreau and fresh cream, or the Irish coffee, the Mexican, the Royal and Ottavio. The latter is filter coffee with amaretto and fresh cream.

The Cappuccino Milkshake is at 5.65 for instance, and a variety of different ice creams ranking between 7.50 . (1 scoop is at 1.90 -4 scoops is at 6.50)



The catalogue includes a variety of sweet and savoury crepes and tortillas ranking between 7 .48 to 9.20 euros.



There are platters and dishes like the USDA Beef Burger for 12, Grilled Sword fish at 16, or the Olive Salmone at 18.50.



The Pasta dishes –spaghetti carbonara is at 12.50, but there are others like Linguine Mare Monte at 18.90, or the King Prawns spaghetti at 17.90, or the Spaghetti al Ragu for 13.



There are different types of Salads with the cheapest one –the green salad with Blue Cheese at 9.50, the Fig Salad at 10, or the Roman Style Salad at 11.50.

A friend of mine who comes here often, usually orders the Prawns Avocado Salad, at 13.70 and she claims that it is unbettable!



Personally, I tried the Anari Pavarois (it was anari cheese with carob syrup, honey and walnuts) . It was simply -Yummy and very nutrient! -6 euros.



My friend had the amazing 'Mahallepi'. It is a Cypriot traditional dessert, cool and tasty! I tried it out of curiosity and it was nice. -5.15



Service is impeccable, and the staff –a bunch of youngsters who seem to enjoy their job. All you see is smiles and with the nice décor, the impeccable service, the positive energy of the staff, I find it the unique place to unwind, meet friends, arrange a meeting, or come for a quick snack, -ideal even for a family outing.



There are some dishes that are more expensive than the normal as you can notice, but after all –what you pay, you get!!

I recommend it for a light meal.
