Tucked into the wine village of Kathikas in the Paphos hills, Kyparissos Restaurant is a family-run tavern celebrating proper Cypriot cooking. The kitchen turns out charcoal-grilled chicken, pork and lamb souvla, slow-cooked pork afelia, keftedes and homemade delicacies, alongside a spread of meze appetizers, roast potatoes, pastitsio and a crisp village salad. Diners praise the authentic village flavours, generous portions and attentive, friendly service, with a light, zesty orange polenta cake among the sweet finishes.

The setting is relaxed and roomy, with lovely mountain views and off-road parking that make it easy to find on the main road through the village. It's a popular spot for a leisurely Sunday lunch or a group feast, so booking ahead is wise at weekends when the tavern gets busy and lively. Open daily except Wednesday from early afternoon into the evening, Kyparissos pairs hearty homemade dishes with cold local beer and wine for a genuine taste of Cyprus.
