Elia Backyard Restaurant brings Greek-inspired, Cypriot flavors to a cozy, intimate setting in Larnaca’s city centre. With dinner-only hours, it’s an inviting choice for an unhurried evening, supported by warm, attentive service and thoughtful Cypriot wine recommendations. The kitchen leans into the smokiness of a charcoal grill: highlights from guest feedback include a tender lamb shank (with eggplant purée), juicy chicken souvlaki, grilled octopus, flavorful beef liver, and the house Elia patty. Freshly baked bread with olive paste often sets the tone to start, and a crisp Greek salad has earned special praise. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxed—ideal for a cozy date night or a calm dinner after a day in town. Prices are mid-range and portions generous. A practical tip from winter diners: avoid window seats on windy nights, as they can feel chilly. Open 18:00–22:30 Mon–Thu, Sat–Sun.
