Tucked along Agiou Georgiou road in Peyia, just beyond the Coral Bay strip, Elisaveta Restaurant is a family-run kitchen where owner Elisaveta cooks authentic dishes from her Greek homeland alongside local Cypriot favourites. Everything is prepared fresh and home-style, from complimentary starters of garlic bread, dips and olives to hearty mains like moussaka, tender lamb shank, the much-loved Greek kleftiko pie, octopus and daily specials. There is a weekly Sunday roast (booking essential) and vegetarian choices too.

Diners consistently praise the generous portions, honest prices and the genuinely warm welcome from Elisaveta, Christina, Nikos and the family, who often stop by each table. The setting is cosy and relaxed, with a leafy outdoor terrace and Greek background music that adds to the authentic feel. A little away from the tourist bustle, it rewards those willing to venture out with some of the best traditional home cooking in the Paphos area. Open Tuesday to Sunday for lunch and dinner; reservations are recommended, especially at weekends.
