Karas Fish Tavern is a well-established seafood tavern on Kennedy Avenue in Paralimni, Famagusta, open daily from noon until 11pm. The restaurant is best known for its signature fish meze made from locally caught fresh fish, alongside dishes such as salmon tartare, swordfish steak and a small sushi selection including sea bass and salmon rolls. Long-time regulars praise the attentive, friendly waiting staff and the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, with an area suited to families with children. Portions and quality have historically been generous, though some recent visitors have found servings smaller and dishes less consistent than in the past, and cocktails have occasionally missed the mark. With a premium price point reflecting its fresh seafood focus, Karas Fish Tavern remains a popular choice for both loyal locals and holidaymakers looking for a taste of Cypriot fish tavern dining in Paralimni.
