An award-winning modern Asian restaurant exploring Japanese and pan-Asian cuisine through precision, balance and vibrant elegance.
Opened in Limassol in 2023, Shibui takes its name from the Japanese aesthetic principle shibui — a quiet, understated beauty revealed slowly through balance and restraint.
Located in the centre of the city, the restaurant has become known for its distinctly atmospheric approach to Asian dining — somewhere between a modern restaurant and a gastronomic club.
The menu moves between Japanese technique and broader Asian influences, built around exceptional seafood, meticulous craftsmanship and a strong sensitivity to texture, temperature and detail.
At the centre of the space is an open sushi counter, where handrolls, sashimi and signature dishes are prepared in front of guests throughout the evening — becoming part of the rhythm of the room itself.
Around it: books on Asian culture, vintage objects collected across Cyprus, Paris and Tel Aviv, ceremonial tableware, music, low light and conversations stretching long into the night.
Over time, Shibui has developed a devoted following among those drawn to its atmosphere, precision and quiet sense of style.
In 2025, the restaurant was nominated for Best Asian Cuisine at the Cyprus Eating Awards, placing it among the top five Asian restaurants in Cyprus. The same year, Shibui entered the 50 Best Cyprus Restaurants 2025 list, ranking #30 among more than 1,200 restaurants across the island.
A place shaped around detail, mood and the art of returning again.
