Tucked into the hillside village of Kathikas above Paphos, Petradaki is a family-run tavern set in a beautiful authentic stone building with rustic wood accents and warm, tasteful decoration. Run by chef-patron Pambos and his family, it celebrates traditional Cypriot cooking with a light modern twist, using quality ingredients and generous, home-cooked portions. Guests rave about the meze for two, an ever-flowing parade of small plates, alongside favourites like grilled halloumi, moussaka and tender grilled meats.

The kitchen is known for looking after diners with allergies, and staff take time to explain each dish. Both the indoor dining room and the covered outdoor terrace enjoy views across the mountains, making it a relaxed spot for anything from a family gathering to an anniversary dinner. There is a well-priced wine list, including the tavern's own house wine, plus cocktails and local beers, and meals often end with a complimentary cake.

With a 4.8 rating from hundreds of reviews, this genuine village gem is well worth the drive; booking ahead is recommended, especially on busy weekend evenings.
