This restuarant came recommended by several friends of ours but most importantly by a personal chef who cooks for many of the rich and famous in the US but lives in Cyprus. So, with that recommendation and the fact that he also helped his best friend create the menu at the Almond Tree we knew that it would be good! 

Located in a great location near the famous Paphos bar street, so we were pleasantly surprised when we arived and found out that they had plenty of parking behind the building, something we find a lack of in many places. We were also happy to be seated in a table over looking the street and were afforded some entertainment from people watching, my favorite pastime.

We were greated by pleasant employees and the service was very friendly. To start with we were brought complimentary brushetta - one small but tasty piece each. After that, for appetizers, my wife started with the spicy prawn cocktail which was different from any other prawn cocktail she had ever had and she loved it.    

When we asked for bread the waitress looked confused. Someone else seemed confused when after asking us how we heard about the restaurant said "Oh, we don't get many Cypriots here!" We are in Cyprus if I'm not mistaken and only 2 out of 6 of us were CYpriot. We do all look Cypriot, not that it matters, it was just a strange and inappropriate comment. << MORE >>

We have been to the taverna several times in the summer where we all sat outside and enjoyed the cooler breezes of the high altitude (the same altitude as Troodos). Now, in the winter there is a cozy fireplace in the upper, non-smoking level and a tall gas, umbrella-style heater in the lower smoking area. Everyone is catered to accordingly.<< MORE >>

I was ready for a night out and we had heard a lot about Sienna so knew that it was definitely going to be our next place to eat out. We decided to go in the middle of the week because we were taking our 2 year old son with us. We left our 2 month old with granny and we headed for the restaurant early, something most parents incorporate in their dining out life. The restaurant was recommended by a number of our friends. I also had the chance to finish my brother-in-laws leftovers that he brought back form there when he ate there. He live in Miami with his wife and enjoy going to good restaurants and they enjoyed Sienna's food so I knew if they liked it then the place is going to be good. The restaurant is located on the road from Paphos going to Coral Bay next to the Helios Bay Hotel and there is plenty of parking available. << MORE >>

This review will be easy for me to write since this is one of our favorite restaurants in Paphos - don't know why I didn't review it before! I have been there several times to eat in and my previously pregnany wife had me get her take-away during some of her pregnancy cravings that would strike. To start with even before you get appetizers if you order any are the light, Indian flavored crispy bread (the name has slipped my mind) - similar to prawn crackers but thinner and bigger. With them you get an assortment of dips, chutney and a yogurt based dip. << MORE >>

I am a little hesitant about writing this blog, I have wanted to for some time but I did not want to step on anyone toes. Now I just want to get it off my chest! The main reason I have hesitated for a long time is the toes I will be stepping on can influence my business possibly. I am talking about the builders in Cyprus. Since I own a marketing company and property is a big portion of my business, I could end up jeopordizing opportunities in the future. << MORE >>

My wife is due with our second baby in 2 weeks and has been hard to please in these last weeks of her pregnancy, very picky and not liking anything. So, I wanted to take her out to dinner for probably the last time before our new baby arrived. I figured Italian would be a good choice since it's always her favorite; I called a friend for advice since he has lived here for six years and loves Italian. His recommendation was "Pizza Express" as soon as I mentioned Italian. I was a little hesitant with a name like that, not the usual name for a good Italian restaurant, not even a good name for a sit down Pizza place. We discussed other places but he kept going back to Pizza Express, so after a little persuasion and some coordinating with my in-laws to watch our 21 month old we were on our way there. << MORE >>
