Platea is a warm, family-run meze house in the heart of Polis Chrysochous, where the husband cooks and the family serves with genuine, attentive hospitality. Its simple appearance belies the quality on the plate: guests consistently praise the meat meze, a generous parade of freshly cooked, piping-hot courses built around traditional Cypriot recipes and local produce. Highlights called out by diners include succulent lamb shank, souvlaki grilled over open coals, moussaka, hearty stifado and dips, salads and warm bread to start.
Portions are large and best enjoyed with an appetite, ideally shared among a group. There is outdoor seating, occasional live Greek music that fills the room, and easy parking in a large car park nearby. Recently refurbished with a refreshed menu, Platea keeps its focus on flavour, careful preparation and friendly service.
Open every evening from 6pm, it is a dependable choice for families, couples and visitors seeking an authentic taste of Cyprus away from the busier tourist squares. Booking ahead is wise on busy nights.
