Sensational

We stayed at St Raphael’s and this was included for lunch in the all inclusive package. We visited multiple times and got to try many different things on the menu. We didn’t try anything we didn’t like, everything was great! Amazing to have an all vegan hotel cafe. It was out selling point for coming to St Raphael’s in the first place and it certainly lived up!

Always a delight and a real pull to stay at the hotel St Raphael

Lovely Beach front vegan/healthy options casual eating outlet. Part of the very vegan friendly St Raphael resort but open to all. Today tucked into some chickpea based yeeros on flat bread with a great salad. Everything from a great beyond burger to simple salads all freshly prepared. This eatery managed by Jacqueline and her team are always accommodating and we plan our visits to the resort when Sea Shells is open. (May to October weather permitting) . All so, important to recognise Gabby and all the team at Splash at the same resort for also offering amazing pool side vegan hospitality year on year without fail

Pros: Totally vegan, super tasty , Open to all comers but amazing if all inclusive, Just the range of options, all prepped fresh

Cons: Understandably closed off season

Such Choice on the Menu

During our 10-day stay at St Raphael Resort, we found ourselves returning to SeaShells for lunch on most days—and for good reason.

The food was simply outstanding. What impressed us most was that it wasn’t just excellent plant-based food; it was excellent food, full stop. Every dish was creative, colourful, freshly made, packed with flavour, and generously portioned. The menu offered an impressive variety, and we made it our mission to work our way through as much of it as possible.

Some standout dishes were the zucchini fries and BBQ cauliflower bites, both of which were absolutely delicious. I could happily have eaten the chilli tofu kebabs every single day. The desserts were equally impressive. The chocolate mousse—which was more of a decadent cake—and the trifle were particular favourites.

The service was another highlight. Alexia and her team were warm, genuinely friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our stay. They struck the perfect balance between looking after us and giving us space to enjoy our meal. They took a genuine interest in us, which made every visit feel personal and welcoming.

The restaurant itself has a lovely relaxed beach vibe, with comfortable seating and a pleasant atmosphere that made it easy to linger over lunch.

The only slight disappointment was that, as all-inclusive guests, we could only dine there until 3pm, whereas paying guests could continue ordering until closing time. Given how much we enjoyed the food, we would have loved the opportunity to visit later in the day as well.

Sea Shells is a unique and brave concept, and one that deserves enormous credit. Whether you’re plant-based or not, this restaurant proves just how exciting, creative and satisfying plant-based dining can be. It was one of the highlights of our holiday, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Dear Sal, so happy to read you loved Seashells - please note that while we are not open until the end of the week, we do have our bestsellers and a pop up menu at the Captain's Bar and Terrace of the hotel so you can enjoy your favourites while soaking up the stunning views from St Raphael Resort. If any of your favourites are not in the pop up menu just ask and the chef will be more than happy to accommodate whatever is possible.
Every year the exact dates changes due to weather and other factors, however all our other outdoor restaurants are now open and all have at least 30% vegan options.
Best wishes and let us know at the hotel if we can help you with anything at all.

So many choices for vegans

We were staying all inclusive at the St Raphael resort of which this is a part. Loads of choices, friendly staff, great food all on the beach. I particularly liked the kale salad but the vegan gyros were also really highly regarded

Vegan heaven! Absolutely delicious!!!

The food here is heavenly. We had fajitas, gyros kebab, Greek salad and courgette fries. Lovely, welcoming and friendly service too. We are staying at the hotel, where all restaurants offer many vegan options. I can’t recommend it enough, we are here for the 2nd time and will be back!

Amazing 🤩

We’re lucky enough to be staying at St Raphael hotel and love this restaurant.

We’ve had a variety of dishes from salads, to homemade burgers to club sandwiches and it’s all been amazing! Some healthy options as well as indulgent vegan versions of classics.

The deserts as good too - chocolate mouse or Oreo muffin or the Bubble waffle with chocolate sorbet were really good.

The service is super friendly and helpful, just like the rest of the hotel.

Setting is nice on the beach front too!

I can’t comment on price as we had all inclusive and this is included.

We would come here even if we’re weren’t staying here.

Pros: Amazing food, Setting , The staff

Cons: Cannot think of any

Vegan restaurant close to the beach

Good selection of food for everybody. Everything tasted delicious. We had a really nice time there. They also try to reduce plastic, for example by providing a water dispenser for refilling bottles.

Variety of vegan dishes that meat lovers will love too

It's a must visit place in limassol for quality & creative plant based dishes that even non-vegans will enjoy! 😁

I celebrated my 23rd birthday with my parents at seashells restaurant, the first & only vegan hotel restaurant in Cyprus🌱

The menu has many interesting & unique vegan dishes that can satisfy even non-vegans, meatlovers & they even have a section for family & kid friendly vegan meals.

Another thing I liked was there water bottle served in a cardboard bottle that you can then refill for free at a filtered water station at the beach next to the restaurant.

Also, our waitress Alexia was very kind & helpful to guide us through the menu.

These are the dishes we ordered for our lunch:

Starters/Salads:
●Ceasar Salad with vegan chicken pieces
●Signature seashells salad with quinoa & seaweed
(tasty & refreshing salads🥗)

Main dishes:
●Signature burger with Oat bagel
●Beyond burger with beetroot bun (we ordered extra fries on the side to share)

👉 the only thing that was a bit disappointing was that the bun & bagel were a bit hard to chew on but in general they were good enough

●Celariac 'steak' with butter bean mash (surprisingly a very tasty dish👌)
●Chickpea yeeros with tzatziki sauce (my non-vegan parents loved it too)

Desserts:
●Gluten free waffles
👉it didn't taste like regular waffles cause they were gluten free & were served with coconut yogurt instead of vegan whipped cream that was written on the menu

●Oreo cupcake

Pros: Refreshing & tasty salad options, Nice location Next to the beach, Plenty of parking space near the restaurant

Cons: Bun & oat bagel were hard to chew on, A bit Pricey dishes

Closed early

After a really bad day, I took a 22€ taxi just to get to this restaurant before the kitchen closed at 17:30. I arrived at 17:13, and they told me the kitchen was closed even though the notice on the door and Google Maps says 17:30.

Perfect beachplace!

This place belongs to a hotel, but is accessible to everyone. It’s a beachplace with a great choice of vegan food.
We shared a couple of meals between the 7 of us everything was good.
Definitely recommend it to all vegans out there, as all the restaurants in cyprus and very meat intense.
There is also a small playground next to it. The kods enjoyed themselves.

Pros: Relaxed beachplace, Great choice, Tasty juices

Cons: Toilets could be cleaner, Slightly pricey as prt of a 5* resort

Huge portions. Tasty food

You can get by as a vegan in Cyprus but you need to do your research on restaurants.
This one blew us away. It was a short walk from our hotel, surrounded by lots of places to explore.
We visited twice. First time we had the gyros and the bao bun. Unfortunately the bao was hard, but the filling was lovely. My gyros was incredible.

We came back later in the week and he got the souvlaki, I got the gyros again. Really enjoyed the food here. The chip portion is enormous!

Pros: Portion size , Choice, Fans to keep you cool!

Located directly on the beach, casual atmosphere, food was very good on the healthy side, a bit expensive. We have a vegan burger and a superb salad

Disappointing, to be honest

I stayed at the St Raphael resort and was thrilled to have a vegan restaurant on the premises. I went here 3 times for lunch and all I can say is that the food wasn't great, service was cold and unwelcoming and really slow (unlike at the rest of the hotel), and it was overpriced for what you get.

It seems that some dishes past reviews have mentioned are no longer on the menu - there's no halloumi or greek salad and generally nothing with vegan cheese.

But what really got to me is that some dishes seem like nobody ever tried them before putting them on the menu. For example, the hot dog is slathered in mayo, topped with popcorn, and served in a hard pretzel bun, which means you can't take a bite without the hot dog rolling out of the bun and mayo and popcorn going everywhere. The chocolate tartufo was served frozen solid, so it was like trying to eat a rock with a spoon, even after waiting 20 minutes for it to defrost.

Another thing I didn't like is that all desserts on the menu are "healthy desserts" - mainly raw desserts. There's nothing to indulge in if you just want to enjoy your vacation without worrying about healthy eating.

The best thing about Seashells is that it's right on the beach, so you can have a quick lunch before or after a swim. But I definitely had better vegan food at the hotel's non-vegan restaurants.

Pros: Great location , Nice to have an all-vegan place at a hotel

Cons: Waitstaff seems like they don't want to be there, Food is not user-friendly , Disappointing dessert menu

Really good food!!

Loads of choice and right next to the beach which is a winner! Oddly they served cows milk so not entirely vegan. Haloumi bites were great and cheesy but don’t expect halloumi. The winners for us were the juices, the falafel salad and the moving mountains hotdog. Lovely staff too!

All inclusive hotel

This restaurant is part of Saint Raphael Resort and part of the menu is included in the all inclusive package. The food is amazing with lots of options: They have all the premium brands such as beyond and moving mountains. The beyond chicken nuggets were so good! If you stay at the hotel, they provide plenty of vegan options in their other restaurants and even include scrambled tofu for breakfast!! Highly recommend this place.

Pros: Friendly staff, Variety of options- junk and healthy , Delicious smoothies

Luxury Mini Burger Buns

Unfortunately, the Burger with tofu has a wobbly consistency & didn't have much taste.
The one with Jackfruit was nice but all of them were cold when they were served.

Pros: Nice view, Friendly staff

Cons: Expensive for small portions, the Burgers & Fries , were cold when they were serve

Dear steffi.loves.vegan,

We were so sad to read your review. Our mini rainbow buns are so popular with our guests and especially children as they are so much fun to see and give a good idea of four different ways to enjoy vegan burgers. We try to offer four completely different experiences with this one meal order and hence have the simpler tasting tofu burger to the more extreme taste of bbq jackfruit.

We do apologize that the meal was not hot when you received them, did you order this as takeaway?

I’m sure as a vegan you understand that all the ingredients we buy are top quality and where possible local, and therefore more expensive than processed or imported equivalents and we pride ourselves in paying our staff well and enjoying our prime beach front location, all of which makes a different to the price. However our meals are all priced between €10-15 each, a very reasonable pricing strategy for Limassol, the top quality food we offer and our location. We can only do our best.

We hope you will support us again in our endeavors to offer the first vegan hotel and beach restaurant in Cyprus and spread our vegan positivity around. May we suggest that next time you try one of our signature burgers which we are sure you will love.

Best regards,

Food for every taste! Delicious vegan dishes!

Always a pleasure when visiting Seashells Healthy Living! You may find dishes for every taste! Great atmosphere! Best location!

We tried two of their amazing burgers (Sweet Potato Quinoa Burger & Spicy Panko Oyster Mushroom Burger) and loved them! Juicy, with fresh vegetables, great buns and awesome sauces!

Moving Mountains Hot Dog is always a winner but served in a pretzel bun with popcorn (!) and delicious mayo was a delight!

Their Homemade Authentic Falafel in a Greek pitta with tachini sauce is a must try!

But my favorite was Fresh Raw Veggie Spring Rolls in rice wrap with peanut sauce! Light, healthy and yet very fulfilling!

After lunch we visited St Raphael Resort beach and spent some quality family time there! Clean and very well organized beach!

Pros: Great Food, Excellent location

Cons: Open May - October
