ARGO
Read moreA good, popular and inexpensive family restaurant in Paphos? Yes, there is! We serve traditional oven-baked kleftiko here on Tuesdays and Saturdays. And plenty of local and Greek specialties: mezze, lountza (smoked pork), stuffed vine leaves and vegetables, sieftalias, fried feta with sesame seeds, grilled meats (including reasonably priced beef), fresh fish (or frozen, but that's specified)... Friendly welcome from the owners, small terrace above a street that's not too noisy.
CHEZ MAMMA BISTRO
Read moreThis rather refined restaurant in the upper town is first and foremost worth a visit for its superb tree-lined courtyard. It's part of the charming Casa Mespilea hotel (see description). Good Spanish, Italian, South American and Cypriot-inspired cuisine: beet ravioli with hummus and parmesan, melt-in-your-mouth cuts of meat with not-too-strong chimichurri, lamb with gnocchi, sea bass with kolokasi (taro) purée... You'll also appreciate the eclectic brunch: bao buns, sausage-halloumi bruschetta, smoked salmon with avocado, etc. Professional service and wine list.
