Set in a beautifully restored traditional home in the village of Sotira, Mousikos Restaurant is a much-loved Cypriot tavern where locals and visitors gather for authentic meze dining. The atmospheric stone-and-timber setting, complete with a lovely outdoor seating area, has been likened by guests to an old market square, making it a memorable spot for relaxed group meals. The kitchen focuses on traditional Cypriot cooking: come hungry for a generous meze spread and expect standout homemade halloumi that regulars call some of the juiciest cheese they have ever tasted.

Slow-cooked kleftiko, snails, meat in the pot, liver with onions and fresh octopus round out a hearty, flavour-packed table, and diners consistently praise the value for money. Friendly, attentive service and a warm, buzzing atmosphere keep the tables full with both tourists and locals. Open evenings Monday to Saturday, Mousikos is an ideal choice for family gatherings, casual celebrations and anyone wanting a genuine taste of Cyprus. Reservations are recommended, as this popular tavern can get busy.
