Paragadi takes its name from the paragadi — the long-line that Mediterranean fishermen use to bring in the day's catch. The name was a promise: that what reaches your plate is genuinely of the sea, and genuinely fresh. Over sixty years on, in the heart of Nicosia, we still keep it.
A display of fresh fish greets you at the door — choose with your own eyes before it reaches the kitchen.
Six decades teach you when to stop. We bring out the flavour of the fish rather than bury it.
A warm welcome and an honest table — the kind of service that turns first-time guests into regulars.
Fresh catch, daily
