Stou Violari is a cozy, family-run taverna set in the heart of Kakopetria, one of the most charming villages of the Troodos mountains in Nicosia district. Warmed by an indoor wood fire, it makes an inviting spot for a relaxed meal after exploring the cobbled village streets. The kitchen focuses on traditional Cypriot fare: souvla and mixed souvlaki, pork chops with chips, Greek salad and generous shared meat platters, with one visitor even praising a rare, well-cooked trout.
A shared plate for two is designed to leave groups well fed, making it a friendly choice for families and travellers alike. Guests frequently highlight the welcoming, hospitable owners and warm service. Open every day from 10:00 to 22:00, including Mondays and through the off-season when many neighbouring tavernas close, it is a dependable option for lunch or dinner in the hills.
Note that experiences on food quality have varied, so it is worth ordering the freshly grilled specialities. Come for hearty portions, mountain-village character and genuine Cypriot hospitality.
