Tucked away in the village of Mouttagiaka, just outside the bustle of central Limassol, Forsos Tavern is a beloved family-style Cypriot tavern built around one thing done well: a generous traditional meze. There is no à la carte menu, instead, plate after plate of Cypriot classics arrives at your table, from meats like pork and chicken to fresh salads, dips and countless small dishes, all meant for sharing. The setting is a big draw: a cozy, romantic courtyard set among olive trees that guests compare to a scene from a film, perfect for long, leisurely evenings with friends or family.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 760 reviews, diners consistently praise the freshness of the food, the friendly attentive service, the wines and the fair prices. Open evenings from 7:30pm, Monday to Saturday, it fills up nightly, so booking a few days ahead is strongly recommended. Note that payment is cash only. Come hungry, you may well leave with leftovers to take home.
