This new wine bar caught our attention because it was packed with people, so we decided to check it out. The menu is small, but the wine list is extensive, offering a great selection. You can try different wines based on the waiter’s recommendations, which is a nice touch.
However, the food didn’t impress us much. We ordered several types of cheese, hoping to try something new, but were disappointed—they were just standard supermarket cheeses from AlphaMega. I’d suggest the management visit the Spanish store or at least Bavaria (not to be confused with Beer Garden), where they could find a much more interesting selection of cheeses that truly complement wine.
On the bright side, the mushroom and arugula bun was tasty. The meat pie left us with mixed feelings—it started off flavorful, but after a few bites, the taste became a bit unusual, possibly due to the sauce.
Overall, the place is new, interesting, and has potential. It would be even better if they added fresh, high-quality sandwiches (panini) with fresh bread, cured meats, cheeses, or jamón/prosciutto at a reasonable price—just like many similar places in Italy. That could attract even more customers. Right now, it’s a bit unclear what kind of audience or class this bar is targeting. The prices aren’t too high, and I’m sure the terrace will be packed in the summer.
Update. This is my response to your reply to my review. Thank you for responding to my review. I really respect places that take the time to reply with personalized messages instead of copy-pasting the same response to everyone. That means a lot to me.
Regarding the food selection—this is purely my personal opinion. I always write openly and honestly, and no matter how skilled a chef is, it’s impossible to please everyone. :)
As for the cheeses, I have tried many that are imported to Cyprus, and I even order some myself from different European countries. So, I’m quite familiar with various flavors and where to find them here. :) Aged Gouda and Gruyère are not something I would personally look for in Bavaria.
For example, it would be great to see Italian Pecorino and a more pronounced Swiss Gruyère on the menu. And from Spain, they import more than just the typical Manchego! :) There are even some excellent goat (and other) cheeses with truffle in Cyprus. :)
I’d be happy to visit...
Read moreMaybe the friendliest place I have been through all these years in Limassol! From the moment I called to make a reservation for a table it was like I knew Spyros, the manager, for years! And when we went there we noticed that the whole crew is super friendly, always smiling and really multinational: from Greece, Cyprus, Serbia, Syria, Ukraine. The place itself has great vibes, with a very nice decor, a visible wine collection and with many tables inside and outside. It's also operating as a cafeteria since early morning. The wine selection is pretty vast, from different countries and also we tried some different platters with cheeses, meat bites and also one chocolate dessert. All of them were presented in a professional way and were...
Read moreNew hot spot in Limassol, at last a proper wine bar worth recommendation! If you're a wine lover, you cannot miss it!
Except for the big selection of wine, by bottle and by glass, Arcadia also offers a very nice and well balanced menu covering all your needs from small and simple bites to a proper meal. Everything is tasty, fresh and carefully curated to match the wine. The ambience is lovely, both indoor and outdoor, and the service cannot go unnoticed. All staff genuinely and almost effortlessly makes you feel well taken care of at all times. I've had a really wonderful time and I missed feeling this for a long time in Limassol.
Added to my favourites, I will definitely...
