The best French cuisine restaurants Cyprus

Opposite Akadimias Park, this warm, red-walled French brasserie is run by Gatienne Thibaut, a Ch'ti who has lived in Cyprus since 2003. In the dimly lit dining room, you'll find mussels marinière, homemade pâté, quiche, pork with maroilles, Charolais beef rib, baked camembert... The menu also occasionally features carbonnade, beef bourguignon, steak tartare or semi-cooked foie gras. For dessert: crème brûlée, cheesecake... All accompanied by local wines or Beaujolais.

This "boutique bistro" with its pretty tiled floor will surprise you with its mussels and French fries with coconut milk, artichoke hearts with pistachios, Parmesan and watermelon salad, Brazilian-style beef steak, Moroccan-style chicken, almond-walnut-pistachio-mushroom risotto, vegetarian burger with roasted beet and chickpeas, desserts and homemade ice cream... It's good, beautifully presented and the decor changes every month with new paintings on the white walls. A small terrace and evening reservations are recommended.
