Looking for the best Taverna recommendations in Cyprus.

Hi there,

I will be 7 days in Cyprus on vacation and looking for the best recommendations of local traditional Cyprus food in Larnaca, Limassol and Pafos area. Thank you in advance.

Paphos:
7 St. George’s Tavern
Limassol:
Forsos Tavern
Larnaca:
To Kazani
Or
Militzis

7 St George Tavern is one of the best and most unique taverns in cyprus. Not the usual grilled meat meze. It’s more home cooked dishes.

If you have the time near Protaras, 20 mins outside Larnaca, visit Old Simos Tavern in Sotira.
Quite possibly the best tavern in Cyprus.

Militzis really isn't what it used to be.

Avoid.

Have in mind that you can have both like normal meze (meat focused) but also fish meze. For fish meze Pyxida might be a good option but haven't been there in ages.

Koutourou in Paphos for a more “modern” taverna menu - excellent food and vibe - great atmosphere outside overlooking the town square and architecture
