Jello is a type of futuristic café, restaurant, lounge bar fusion effort that is aimed at Ayia Napa's growing population of beautiful people and hip young tourists.

The crowd here is young, sexy and stylish, making this the place to go for the young glitterati who know mobile phones and wi-fi are essential in every pub.

It's just a stone's throw from the harbour in Ayia Napa and seems to never close, offering everything from early breakfasts to late night snacks.

It's bright and open, uses contemporary, almost space-age, furniture and simple interior design tricks to pull off a modern look.

In fact you could mistake the interior of this place as being a set from the Star Trek TV show or some camp Channel 4 breakfast programme - the place is huge, it literally feels like sitting in a film studio and must cost the owners a fortune to keep hot/cold.

Anyway, it's trendy; the chairs are pink, it has large windows and the waitresses come from some part of Eastern Europe I have never heard of... but you know what? It's a good clean pub and I'm really not complaining.

Even better, everyone is sat around drinking wine and spirits - not pints of budget beer, and there is no sign of pasty ex-pats wearing England football shirts.

It's reasonably priced as well, unlike so many of these trendy joints, a pint of KEO or Carlsberg costs €3 here, a cocktail will set you back €6.

The menu has plenty to attract the food aficionado, with full meals (including steaks, burgers and fish) as well as offering an extensive range of cocktails, wines and beers.

Its generally a calm atmosphere and fairly good music, you can dine, drink and dance all under one roof... unless they decide to show a live football game on one of the dozens of flat screens pasted to the wall.
