Mastercard culinary initiative returns to Cyprus for a second year

The "Around the Table" initiative, organized by Mastercard, has returned to Cyprus for its second consecutive year. Running from September 28 through October 18, 2026, the program partners with over 30 selected restaurants across Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos, and the free Famagusta district. Cardholders are invited to experience special set menus priced at €25, €45, and €65 per person, showcasing a diverse range of international and local culinary traditions.

Specific participants include venues like the Amyth Kouzina, located at the Amyth of Nicosia hotel. This establishment is offering a €65 set menu featuring signature dishes such as Carnaroli risotto with saffron and Iberian pork cheeks, alongside dedicated vegetarian and vegan options including cauliflower steak. Additionally, the venue has announced a special "Chef’s Table" event scheduled for October 13, emphasizing a dining experience centered around an open fire. The initiative aims to promote the richness of the modern Cypriot culinary scene by fostering unique dining opportunities for Mastercard cardholders throughout the three-week period.
