TASTEFUL JOURNEY TO LIMASSOL MARINA - MARINA BREEZE - RESTAURANT IN LIMASSOL MARINA

 

Marina Breeze- Lounge Bar

 

 

“Marina Breeze” is located on the eastern side of Limassol Marina, it is an all-day restaurant-cafe-bar and belongs to the “Breeze Group”. It is the only almost floating dining venue in Limassol Marina, since its terrace is literally on stilts and “floats” in the sea, with an excellent view of the luxurious settlement “The Island Villas” and the yachts.

It is an ideal choice for everyday outings but also for festive days, as the chef and his team ensure that they serve a different menu and make these days truly special.

 

Christmas at “Marina Breeze”

 

“Marina Breeze” introduces itself as a place where we can enjoy a rich brunch, fresh juices, aromatic coffees, cocktails, and selected dishes from international cuisine with the addition of characteristic Cypriot products, in the company of customers, friends and family.

The aim for its owners is to offer high quality and satisfaction, so that their customers combine “Marina Breeze” with memories of enjoying flavors and moments of relaxation and return again. 

 

 

 

Tempura prawns

 

Unfortunately we were not able to try the New Year's menu, the reservations for New Year's Eve were sold out, but we went one afternoon for lunch and tried for appetizers tempura prawns, fried prawns with mango, wasabi mayonnaise, rocket and sweet chili sauce, and calypso octopus, grilled Moroccan octopus, with fava beans, caramelized onions, fried capers, crispy leek and aromatic oil.

 

Salad with grilled falafel, green salad, cucumber, avocado and hummus

 

For salad we took the one with grilled falafel, cherry tomatoes, mixed green salad, cucumber, avocado and hummus.

Homemade ravioli stuffed with mushrooms and parmesan

Caramelized pancetta with green apple puree and commandaria sauce

 

We tried the homemade ravioli stuffed with mushrooms and parmesan, as well as the caramelized pancetta with green apple puree and commandaria sauce.

 

Chocolate temptation

 

 

We couldn’t leave without dessert to complete this delicious fiesta, so we ordered the chocolate temptation, which perhaps should have been written in capital letters to match the description with its top taste, a homemade moist chocolate cake, gushing from the inside of the dessert like lava of delight from a volcano of flavors and accompanied by Madagascar vanilla ice cream.

 

Tropical kiwi fusion

 

We also ordered the tropical kiwi fusion, homemade eclairs, filled with Aegina pistachio pastry cream, kiwi, mango and forest fruit sauce, kiwi whipped cream, Aegina pistachio cookies, mango and passion fruit ice cream. A tropical paradise of exotic flavors!!! Just from the description I think I have tickled your palate to try them. Of course a picture is worth a thousand words so see the pictures to be convinced.

 

The chef Mr. Christos Christodoulou and the sous chef Mrs. Ioanna Arapoglou 

 

We managed to meet the restaurant's chef Mr. Christos Christodoulou and the sous chef Mrs. Ioanna Arapoglou and so we congratulated them personally for the wonderful dishes they prepared for us and took the opportunity to ask them about the secret of their success. 

They emphasized to us that there are mainly two directions that they try to emphasize when creating each new menu. The first and most important thing they insist on is the quality of the raw material, they buy fresh fish and seafood from a Limassol fisherman, fresh vegetables from the region and good quality meats and the second is that they try to prefer local products, such as commandaria, fava beans and Aegina pistachios in this menu, to introduce local products to foreign visitors and help them get to know the tradition and culture of the island better through tasting its goods. But because Cyprus is at a crossroads of cultures, they have created a menu with influences from international cuisine, so they have included flavors of the East, such as falafel and hummus, of the Far East, such as the huge variety of sushi, but also of European and mainly French cuisine. 

We see them communicating easily with their eyes alone, they are a couple in life and not only in the kitchen of “Marina Breeze”, so perhaps this is another component of their success. We will visit Limassol and “Marina Breeze” again, because we still have many dishes to try! We highly recommend it!
