Psarolimano, Larnaca: fish meze with the fishing boats in view

Desk-researched draft — every price, coordinate, and claim below must be re-checked in person per our methodology before this page ships.

Psarolimano means “fishing harbour,” and the name is the whole pitch: the tavern looks straight onto Larnaca’s small fishing shelter, and the boats you watch over lunch are part of the supply chain.

What is the fish meze like?

Fresh-first rather than fried-first: the meze leans on what was landed locally that morning — raw and marinated plates, shells, then grilled fish — and the composition genuinely changes with the catch. It is regularly named the best fish meze in Larnaca by people who have eaten all of them. Budget around €27 per person.

What else is worth ordering?

If you skip the meze, the whole grilled catch of the day priced by the kilo is the move — have them show you the fish before it goes on the grill. The kitchen also runs some non-taverna plates like seafood linguine that are better than they need to be.

What’s the weak point?

Service, on busy nights — when the terrace is full it can turn slow and transactional, and reviews have said so for years. The view and the fish are why you come; pack patience on a Saturday.
