Set beside the Vasilopotamos river in the mountain village of Kakopetria, Chrysanthis is a traditional Cypriot restaurant and tavern that has welcomed guests since 1960. Now run by the third generation of the founding family, it keeps the same recipes and pure ingredients that first drew diners from across Cyprus. The kitchen is known for hearty, well-cooked meze served in generous portions, alongside favourites such as souvla, pork, lamb and freshly grilled trout.
Prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity, and the warm, relaxed atmosphere suits families, groups and Sunday lunches after a walk in the Troodos. Guests appreciate the welcoming staff, the cosy village setting and the option to bring small dogs. Part of the Chrysanthis hotel complex, the restaurant is open for lunch daily and for dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings.
It is a reliable choice for anyone seeking an authentic taste of Cypriot cuisine in a scenic mountain location. Booking ahead is wise on busy weekends.
