The Cookhouse — Restaurant in Limassol Municipality

This is one of the original hip brunch spots in Limassol, that inspired the brunch ‘craze’ in this city. It’s location near the city center and it’s minimalistic design attracts a variety of clientèle ranging from working professionals from the nearby offices and a hipster crowd attracted by the unique vibe this place offers. Great spot for your weekend brunch or even your weekday coffee/lunch break. The staff are always attentive, friendly and the food is prepared pretty quick (at least the dishes we typically order). The owners of the place (mother and daughter) are always behind the counter cooking so that gives us the confidence that the food quality will never falter. My favorite lunch dish is the ‘Grilled Paprika Chicken with Bombay potatoes’ and as a sharing dish the ‘Sweet Potato with Hummus and Avocado’. I find it difficult to stray away from these. For brunch, we like the Veggie Breakfast. All materials taste so fresh and that’s what keeps us coming back every week! Overall, I consider this a must-try in Limassol and one of my favorite...

So. It's super hipster. Lots of plants. Lisa Stansfield on the radio. Your Instagram will love it. But be prepared for some bewilderment and frustration. You have to be seated. You'll see many empty, charming tables. But the maitre'd will instead offer you a kids table, a seat at the bar or a shared table up front. You'll assume all those big, inviting tables are reserved. However, during our entire stay - for breakfast, lasting around an hour - no one came and sat at those empty, and now less charming tables. Are they sculptures? Or some weird passive-aggressive device to say "if you're the right type, we will sit you there?" - like the lamest of night clubs, with arbitrary door policies? Whatever it is, it kinda sucks, and the management should rethink this posey policy. Other than that: recommend the...

Nice place for brunch. Fairly good selection for vegetarians, with some vegan options also present. The prices for most items (excluding the 'bowls' and some speciality drinks) are fair, and the serving sizes are good, too. (The bagel with salmon on the picture was around €6, for instance). However, the bistro was either understaffed, or the staff were not well organized, as only one waitress was waiting the tables while around 4 people were staffing the bar/food counter. It took around 15 minutes to just get the bill after we finished eating. Further, the side salad was doused in olive oil - far too much of it, and so was impossible to eat. Lastly, on a really hot day, the outdoor fans were not working, and some of the seats were in direct sunlight. Other than this, it is nice to have such a nice place...
