H Perinia is a family-run tavern in the heart of Vavatsinia, a mountain village in the Larnaca district near Lefkara. Reviewers describe it as a cosy, warm spot where the owning family serves traditional, home-style Cypriot dishes and a well-regarded meze, with one guest calling it the best meze tavern in Cyprus and noting a portion generous enough for two without a forced minimum order. Diners highlight good value for the price, tasty food suitable for vegetarians, and a relaxing, chilled setting for a long lunch, with outdoor seating recommended in summer for the views over the village. Service is generally praised as friendly, though at least one visit found it inconsistent, with no courtesy coffee offered and quantities smaller than expected for the price.
