We’re proud to share that Nikolas Anastasiou, Executive Chef of NEREA by AMARA, has been named Young Chef of the Year 2025 at the Cyprus Eating Awards, one of the island’s most respected culinary honors.

The award recognizes chefs who combine creativity, consistency, and leadership with a strong culinary identity, and it reflects the thoughtful, ingredient-driven approach that defines NEREA’s kitchen. Having joined AMARA in 2023 and grown within the restaurant, Nikolas now leads NEREA with a clear vision for refined, contemporary seafood cuisine.

Set right on the shore, NEREA by AMARA is a destination for relaxed yet elevated beachside dining. The menu celebrates the best of fish and seafood, carefully sourced and prepared using the freshest local ingredients, alongside a selection of dishes designed to satisfy every palate.

With this latest recognition, there’s never been a better time to experience NEREA, where award winning cuisine meets the rhythm of the sea.

AMARA is proud to announce that its restaurants have once again been recognised among the very best in Cyprus’s culinary scene, earning three prestigious distinctions at the Chrysoi Skoufoi 2025 awards.
At this year’s ceremony, AMARA’s dining destinations in Limassol reaffirmed their position at the forefront of fine dining, celebrating excellence in cuisine, creativity, and service.

AMARA is proud to celebrate another outstanding achievement by its culinary team, following an impressive performance at the prestigious HORECA Gastronomic Awards, organised by the Cyprus Chef Association.

At this year’s competition, AMARA’s chefs were awarded a total of 21 medals. 13 gold, 5 silver, and 3 bronze highlighting their exceptional talent, dedication, and passion for culinary excellence.

The team excelled across a range of demanding categories, including Restaurant Appetizers, Plated Desserts, Wedding Cakes, Chocolate Show Pieces, and Celebration Cakes. Each distinction reflects the high level of technical skill, creativity, and consistency that defines AMARA’s culinary philosophy.

This remarkable recognition reaffirms the quality and standards that characterise all of AMARA’s dining destinations, from Matsuhisa Limassol and Ristorante Locatelli to Beefbar.
