Mosaics Restaurant (Almyra Hotel)

Mosaics Restaurant is the upscale pan-Mediterranean restaurant of the Almyra Hotel on Poseidonos Avenue, 8042 Paphos, on the Kato Paphos seafront in Cyprus. The name nods to the mosaics for which Paphos is internationally known, and the restaurant sits in a hotel on the coastal strip, with sea views as a central attraction. The cuisine is pan-Mediterranean, drawing on Greek, Cypriot and wider Mediterranean traditions, with a focus on seafood. Signature dishes include a seafood platter, grilled sea bass and a Cypriot meze tasting, which allows diners to sample island specialities in a more refined presentation than the typical tavern. The seafood platter suits groups, while grilled sea bass is a classic whole-fish main course dressed with olive oil and lemon. The dining room is smart and comfortable, with a more polished atmosphere than the harbour tavernas; a smart-casual standard is typical for hotel restaurants of this type, though visitors should confirm any dress expectations. The noise level is low to moderate, and the setting suits couples, special occasions and visitors seeking a quieter evening. Prices are the highest among Paphos restaurants in this guide, at about EUR 50-80 (roughly USD 57-92) per person. Service is listed as daily dinner, with a Sunday brunch, though visitors should confirm times. Reservations are made through the hotel via thanoshotels.com, and booking ahead is advisable in high season, on Sundays for brunch and for sea-facing tables. The location along Poseidonos Avenue places it on the main seafront road, a walk or short taxi ride from the harbour, Paphos Castle and the Archaeological Park. Diners can combine the meal with an evening walk along the coastal promenade. Wine is typically served from a list that includes Cypriot and international bottles.
