Concept: Cyprus is a varied and seasonal country. The culinary
concepts and taste at the Anassa are based on seasonal influences: influences of
hotel garden herbs, farm fresh produce sourced from the local villages around
Polis, and recipes which anticipate the guests desires. New for this year, the
executive chef, Ashley Goddard has created new buffet menus, the Pelagos show
kitchen, and totally energised the culinary approach to locally infused dishes,
with his motto "Choice for the Guests".
Vegetarian options are available in all restaurants.
Basiliko
The signature gourmet restaurant of Anassa. With a stone staircase descending into a stone cavern, Basiliko is the perfect setting to enjoy either a romantic dinner for two, or a cozy dinner among friends.
New Cyprus cuisine is celebrated in Basiliko in an unconventional and
spontaneous way, using the bounty of local ingredients. An exclusive nine course
gourmet menu with wine pairing is offered once a week.
Basiliko is entirely non-smoking but guests may enjoy a cigar or cigarette on
the outside patio. Please note that there is limited seating at Basiliko, so
advance bookings are recommended.
Helios
Helios, the Mediterranean gastronomic restaurant specializes in handmade
pasta, fresh seafood, local and imported meats. Daily chef's menu and an
extensive à la carte menu with healthy and vegetarian options are also available.
Some sample dishes are chargrilled local ostrich tenderloin on garlic and lemon
mash potato and truffle oil jus.
Meals may be enjoyed on the outdoor terrace, weather permitting.
Amphora
Amphora specializes in locally infused cuisine and fresh seasonal choices with daily changing buffet menus. Sample dishes include locally inspired pizza - minced lamb with herbs on crisp bread, yoghurt cream and local Mache. Breakfast and buffet dinners are available here.
Children's menus are available, and meals are served on the outdoor terrace, weather permitting.
Pelagos
Pelagos is Anassa's pool-side dining restaurant, and is the perfect setting
for casual al fresco dining.
Pelagos has been recently re-designed and now features an open show kitchen with
live cooking using a lava stone grill. The emphasis is on light Mediterranean
cuisine, and freshly caught fish from the sea, e.g. chargrilled sea bass fillet
with roasted tomato and local olive ragout.
Lunch and dinner à la carte menus are available, as well as snacks. Please note that Pelagos is an outdoor restaurant and from November to March is only open during the day weather-permitting
Village Square :In the Village Square many outdoor events are held throughout the summer, such as private barbeques and exclusive dining events. A Cyprus Fair is held once a week offering traditional music, dancing and food.
