Saddles Café & Bar

Saddles Café & Bar is a warm, welcoming spot in the heart of Polis Chrysochous, in the Paphos district. Open from mid-afternoon until midnight, it doubles as a laid-back café and a lively bar, pouring cocktails from around €6 (the espresso martini a popular pick), cold beer and White Russians, alongside tea, coffee and homemade cakes like a well-loved caramel cake. There's a decent all-day menu too, from English breakfasts to easy bites, all at genuinely fair prices.

The room is decorated with care and personality, complete with an eye-catching motorbike that gives the place its character, while outdoor seating lets you soak up the atmosphere and the music. Guests consistently praise the friendly, attentive staff and the easy-going vibe, making it a favourite for both locals and travellers passing through on the road between Paphos and Larnaca. Tucked near the large car park just off the main road, Saddles is an unpretentious, budget-friendly place for a coffee break, a casual meal or a relaxed evening drink with good tunes.
