Vangelis Tavern is a family-run institution in Protaras, carrying on a restaurateur tradition that dates back to the late 1800s in a place established in 1948 and now run by the fifth generation. Set on the lively main hotels avenue, it welcomes guests with warm, attentive service and a cosy, traditional tavern atmosphere. The kitchen focuses on authentic Cypriot and Mediterranean cooking: hearty meat and fish meze, tender kleftiko, sheftalia, mixed grills, baby calamari and grilled octopus, rounded off with sweet touches like traditional donut-style loukoumades and baklava.
Portions are generous and prices are reasonable, making it a solid choice for families and groups looking for a genuine taste of Cyprus. Diners consistently praise the friendly, knowledgeable staff and the fresh, flavourful dishes, and the buzzy central setting is part of its charm. With a 4.6 rating across more than 1,200 Google reviews, it is a dependable spot for a relaxed lunch or dinner. Open daily from midday, and reservations are recommended during the busy summer season.
