Absolutely worth the visit! We went as a family and had one of the most memorable meals of our trip in Cyprus. Everything is handmade by Sophia herself, and her kindness and hospitality are truly special – she even welcomed us into her kitchen! She doesn’t speak English, but her warmth goes far beyond any language barrier. A few tips if you’re planning to go: • The restaurant is about a 30-minute drive from Paphos through the mountains. • You need to call and book at least a day in advance. Everything is freshly prepared, and Sophia cooks only what she knows she’ll serve. Walk-ins weren’t able to be accommodated when we visited. • There’s no menu! Sophia simply brings out a selection of local, traditional dishes she has prepared. The food was so plentiful and delicious that we couldn’t finish it all. For four of us, we paid €100, which included handmade bread, fresh halloumi, warm cheese, a garden salad, roasted chicken and lamb with potatoes, Cypriot lasagne, stuffed cabbage rolls, ravioli, dessert, Cypriot coffee, a bottle of white wine, and two bottles of water. One of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had, and we would go back in a heartbeat. Highly recommended if you want to experience true Cypriot hospitality and authentic food.
My colleagues recommend this tavern multiple times. We finally visited on a sunny Sunday. We did call and book a table in advance, the previous day. Once we arrived, we were seated and the food started coming right away. Everything was freshly made and tasted amazing. You can clearly see the difference in quality compared to the touristy areas around Paphos. I would highly recommend visiting. It only takes a 25minute drive from Paphos and the views along the way are lovely. Skip or have a small breakfast before visiting because the food can be quite heavy.
A very authentic Cypriotic family ran restaurant. Sofia and her team are legends in the mountains. Be sure to book / reserve ahead of time.

Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
