Hippocampus Lounge Restaurant is a modern, stylish dining spot in the heart of Protaras, popular with holidaymakers and locals alike. Its eclectic, made-on-the-premises menu blends international and Mediterranean flavours, ranging from fresh pasta and grilled dishes to a well-regarded sushi selection and an impressive line-up of vegetarian and vegan plates. Guests praise the warm, inviting atmosphere and generally attentive, friendly service, with many treating it as a repeat go-to during their stay.

Standout options highlighted by diners include the avocado sushi, lamb shank, falafel tacos, vegan ravioli, vegan mushroom rigatoni and a memorable vegan pistachio cheesecake. Cocktails and a relaxed lounge vibe round out the experience, while brunch is a growing draw. Open from midday until the early hours every day of the week, Hippocampus suits everything from a laid-back lunch to a lively evening out, and its convenient location near the resort's hotels and attractions makes it an easy choice. Reserving ahead is sensible during busy summer evenings when the venue is at its liveliest.
