Review from Cyprus Inform
My dream has finally come true! To talk about Cypriot restaurants and not mention Plus Sea would be a crime. Without a doubt, this restaurant is one of my favourites. The restaurant is situated right on the seafront, opposite the ‘Amatusia’ residential complex in Limassol. There’s convenient parking next to the restaurant.
Plus Sea has a unique atmosphere: you can enjoy the sea view and the fresh sea breeze, whilst the magical scent of the sea blends perfectly with the dishes on the menu. Yes, Plus Sea is a seafood restaurant, and the seafood dishes here are prepared to perfection!
Interior
The restaurant’s interior is charming: soft sofas on the open-air veranda next to the promenade, solid wooden tables and comfortable chairs.
The restaurant is bathed in light: Plus Sea is the perfect spot to watch the sunset, when day gently gives way to night, casting everything around in magical shades of pink.
Wine
The restaurant boasts an impressive wine list, featuring the finest Cypriot wines and a wide selection of wines from both the New and Old Worlds.
Menu
So, what should you try first from Chef Dimitris Lazarou’s rather extensive menu? Of course, people come here for the seafood – fresh, expertly prepared and made with love. The presentation of the dishes deserves special praise.
Starters
To start your meal, order the dip platter: three classic dips served with slices of grilled pita bread. The tirokafteri is pleasantly spicy, with the distinct aroma of Greek kefalotiri cheese. Classic guacamole with a hint of tang, and a smoky aubergine dip. A wonderful array of flavours and a perfect starter to accompany that first – and most eagerly awaited – glass of wine.
The next starter: prawn carpaccio with crab and a lemon and mustard dressing. The chef has masterfully sliced the raw king prawns into thin, translucent slices. A light, refreshing dish where the tenderness of the prawns is complemented by the refined flavour of natural crab in a creamy sauce and a sweet-and-sour mustard dressing, whilst peppercorns burst on the palate with a vibrant final flavour note.
The feast continues with king scallops. The surprisingly delicate, creamy texture of the cauliflower purée and the young, emerald-green spinach provide the perfect accompaniment to the tender scallops with their vibrant, smoky aroma of pancetta.
Main courses
Dijon-style salmon on a bed of spinach with rice, steamed vegetables and a parsley and lemon juice sauce. A stunningly beautiful dish! The perfectly cooked salmon has retained its tenderness and juiciness – well done to the chef! The lightly wilted spinach glows with an emerald hue, whilst the light sauce perfectly complements the flavour of the fish.
The meal is rounded off with Mediterranean octopus. It’s a classic. The boiled octopus is grilled, served with a side of crispy potato slices seasoned with fragrant dried herbs. The dish is crowned with high-quality extra virgin olive oil, sweet roasted tomatoes and fresh herbs. Nothing superfluous!
Dessert
For dessert, try the low-fat cheesecake. Don’t worry! Firstly, it’s low-fat, and secondly… the voice of your conscience will be drowned out by the aroma of vanilla and the creaminess of the cheesecake filling.
Beach
In summer, the restaurant provides 200 sun loungers, so you can enjoy the excellent cuisine whilst sunbathing. If you’re ordering a cocktail, do try the strawberry mojito.
In conclusion
If you want to try fresh seafood whilst enjoying the proximity to the sea, Plus Sea is the perfect choice. It offers excellent service and the unique atmosphere of a seaside restaurant. Although the restaurant is situated in a tourist area, it has a large base of regular customers, which certainly speaks well of it.
