We visited Charmers Fish Tavern & Steak House in Larnaca and ordered the seafood platter (€34) along with a Greek salad. The salad was served with cheese but surprisingly had no olives. When we asked about it, the staff told us that this was their version of a “village salad” and that it’s served that way. It wasn’t a huge issue, but it would have been nicer if we had been informed in advance.
As for the seafood platter — unfortunately, it was simply inedible. Everything tasted bland and was deep-fried. I can’t say for sure, but it really felt like most of it came from frozen, pre-packaged products, except maybe the small fish, tiny crabs, and squid. The cuttlefish was overcooked and burnt, making it impossible to eat.
The only things we truly enjoyed were the service, the beer, and the complimentary dessert at the end (watermelon and a traditional sweet).
We decided to try this place because we noticed a lot of locals and a generally busy atmosphere in the evenings, but sadly we couldn’t understand the hype — the food really didn’t live up to...

The staff is quite friendly, some speak English which is already a great start for a tourist.
The service is lightning fast. As soon as I ordered, my starter (mussels) (€12 maybe) it came in no time. I had a T bone (€25 the most expensive steak) as a main (says on the bone on the menu but came not on the bone). All the mains come with steamed veggies and jacked potato or fries. Read the ‘t&s’s’ first. The portions are large in my opinion. Although o ate just these 2 dishes, I feel extremely full. Also, I had a glass of red wine (they sell it in tiny bottles). The wine is full bodied, NV, made in Cyprus.
Before leaving, I decided to go for an espresso. The lady that took the order, kindly offered a slice of dessert on the house. Can’t remember the exact name, it looks like cheesecake, but it’s not cheesecake.
I absolutely recommend this place, they’ll feed you and your whole family at a reasonable price.

The seafood here is simply outstanding – fresh from the catch and deliciously prepared. The grilled seafood, in particular, impressed me; it was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. But the other dishes on the menu, like the juicy steak, are also highly recommended.
The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it's a wonderful spot to enjoy a great meal in good company. I highly recommend Charmers Fish Tavern & Steak House to anyone...
