    Best restaurant in Paphos. Kind and quick service. Really rich menu with fair prices. I recommend daily dinner set for 14.50 EUR. You get starter, dinner and dessert which you can choose from table which arrive to you. In addition you get wine to that. Restaurant has really good climate inside.

    Absolutely loved this place! Cypriot Taverna offering excellent meals at a very reasonable price. We chose the set menu on both occasions and the food and the service was faultless. Would thoroughly recommend Viva Cyprus and look forward to returning again in the future. Well done to all! Dave & Sue 🇨🇾👏👍✅❤️

    Traditional cypriot tavern with delicious, freshly prepared food. The 3 courses deal makes it really affordable, too. Also portions are huuuge, moussaka from here would easily be enough for two people 😄 Literally nothing to complain about, I totally recommend this place ☀️

    Great restaurant and very friendly staff. The food was really delicious and the price is amazingly low. For two persons only 30 EUR and we left totally full. We had swordfish steak and sea bass with salad and chips with two glasses of white wine. After dinner they also gave us as a present two shots of coffee liquer and plate of fruit. I highly recommend this place!

    At the beginning it seem to be a super touristic restaurant but when you go inside you discover a typical Cypriot Taverna. The food was delicious and really fast served. We ordered some Typical Cypriot starters to share for a good price. At the end they invited us for the dessert and cafe-licor. Super recomended!

    Located 20m from the beach, in parallel of the coastal boardwalk. A nice Tavern for Lunch and dinner. Service is nice. Relaxing and cozy atmosphere. We eat Pork kebab and Pork Gordon. Kebab wasn’t juicy enough for me, but the Pork Gordon was special (see the photos). You can’t beat the prices. Also, they have a €10 three course dinner. We didn’t manage to arrive during evening times, but it sounds like a good deal for me.

    It’s probably the best 10 euros set 3 course menu I’ve ever had…We were really surprised by the quality. I was quite skeptical when seeking the tourist menu style signs outside, especially with the free house wine offer…but when the wine arrived, it was actually quite good. And the lamb and beef we ordered in the set menu was so good that they melt in mouth…really big surprise for a 10 euro set menu….it’s definitely worth a 5 star review even for me who is quite picky in service and food By the way, the portion is big 🥳

    The restaurant delivered a rather mediocre experience, with errors in our orders and desserts that seemed to have been sourced from a grocery store. The price was reasonable by the quality of both - the food and service. Which left much to be desired.

    Great staff , dropped my fork picked it up straight away and gave me a fresh one , complimentary bread and butter then complimentary melon after your meal and washed down complimentary drinks after your meal , food was amazing tender and full of flavour.. service on point and there was a dessert trolley with a bell which brought a smile to everyone faces and you get to look and choose your own dessert .

    The set menu for one person is so big portion and very delicious. Most important is 3 course from starter, main dishes and dessert only 11€. And many choices you can choose from menu and free bread and one shot as finish in the end. Even the restaurant is not in the main sightseeing area or with Harbour view, I totally recommend it for local decent food in amazing price.

  • 5/5 J S. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good food. We've been there twice. Off the Main Season many people seem to miss it since it is a bit in the middle of all Restaurants. Both dishes (grilled tuna steak and rainbow trout between 13-15€) where really great and good portions. Good wine for a great price. Only the music could be improved ;)

  • 5/5 Ali 1 year ago on Google
    The food is super wonderful. And it has a nice atmosphere. Most importantly, the menu has a wide variety of different dishes, including local food. Highly recommended. It's also affordable. Portions are big.

  • 4/5 Anna �. 1 year ago on Google
    We were deeply dissapointed with the village salad - there was just one piece of cheese and two olives. Calamari and fried zucchini were tasty, house wine was the best. Thanks to the owner’s attitude it turned out to be a pleasant experience after all. We were gifted with some nice shots of spirits and a huge bunch of Cypriot bananas for our children.

  • 5/5 epifanja p. 1 year ago on Google
    Quite place delicious food and worth it with 12 euro we had starter ,main , desert and wine . And the selection of the desert you can choose from the fridge .

  • 5/5 Azara I. 4 months ago on Google
    The best lamb I have eaten in months if not years 😅 Amazing value for money for 3 course meal/ 3 course meal with wine. Ate 2 times in a row and brought a friend 👌 The staff were wonderful, friendly and attentive. Would recommend 👌

  • 4/5 Stacey 1 year ago on Google
    We went twice as the first time was a really positive experience; however, on the second visit, it took a long time to be served and the portions were much smaller, for example, the starter village salad only had one cube of feta (we ordered à la carte the second visit, first time was set menu and portions were huge). The set menu is really good value for only €11 or a bit more for a carafe of wine for two. Friendly staff and a great selection of vegetarian options and desserts!

  • 5/5 Joanna M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice place with great and delicious food!!! Quick and polite service + really nice prices! I'd higly recommend their special set for 12.50 euro (starter + main dish + desert +wine! ) There is also big choice for vegetarians !

  • 5/5 Sandra L. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow wow wow...beautiful food and wine.the highlight is a dessert trolley that is wheeled around whilst ringing a little bell to announce it's arrival and then you pick your dessert ..as we were leaving the owner gave us a bag of fruit for the "babies breakfast",beyond lovely and soo cute

  • 5/5 R B. 6 months ago on Google
    Wow,Walking past seeing the menu outside offering a 3 course meal for 12.50 euro ,we'll you think that must be rubbish food....ahhh ,well think differently on this place. It's one of the Best meals we've had so far in cyprus, for the price , We spent 80 euro the previous night at a posh taverna , So this was a bonus,we upgraded for the caratfe of wine with 3 course for 14.50 euro each, Oh the food was very nice,big portions too,lovely staff,fast service, and it was busy at 8.30pm What a little gem 5* right on the main Rd,

    Shame you cannot leave 0 stars. Don’t get pulled by the sign saying 3 course meal for 12.50. Honestly not worth it much better places you can eat for the same price or a couple euros more. Once sat down I kept getting asked if I wanted to move. Once ordering drinks from the young lady serving me I tried to order food to which she replied I only handle drinks. Finally the food man came. Was waiting for food for over 30 minutes where another gentleman kept bringing me bread that I was not eating. He kept leaving more on the table and saying sorry. When I asked what happened he kept bringing bread. Finally the food came which was obviously frozen and not cooked in the middle at all. You can see how dirty the bathrooms are. By the time another person asked us for desert on a trolley that they had been pushing around all night we just asked for the bill and waited another 20 minutes. They asked for a 9 percent service charge maybe that is 1 percent to every person I had to deal with or 9 percent on a scale of 100 on how good the experience was which would be generous. They were not surprised we didn’t pay that. Honestly this is a dirty smelly place that attracts similar people felt sorry for the older couple sat next to us who they kept trying to move to a table near us of a family that were non stop burping and farting as loud as possible. Go down the road you will find much better options even if you are looking for budget food. I wouldn’t even feed this to the stray cats in this area. Worse food in paphos and 0 service and hygiene. Kind of place you wipe your feet on the way out.

  • 5/5 Jérémy H. 2 years ago on Google
    Currently at half way of my meal, my belly is stuffed of the good food of this place. The lamb is melting in your mouth, very fresh moussaka (little bit too salty), and there is still a desert upcoming, for the 10€ meal. Heaven !

  • 5/5 Jason S. 2 years ago on Google
    I reviewed this place yesterday but I feel an update is required. Quite simply this is the only restaurant I can ever remember visiting two nights running. Eat from the set menu, you won't be disappointed by the quality or the price. Literally a must visit

  • 5/5 Марта �. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is amazing. Large portions of very tasty food and adorable service. Fish meze is definitely best in this area (if not in all Cyprus). Thank you, I’ll come again.

  • 5/5 Richard H. 2 years ago on Google
    Very friendly restaurant offering dining in and take away for a good price. Open air dining good for Covid safety. Good Greek style food.

  • 5/5 Nick S. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing place to eat. Traditional setting, food is the best we've had on the island in 9 years of coming to Cyprus, just wish we'd found it before today, will definitely be going back there many more times

  • 5/5 Fogarasi G. 2 years ago on Google
    Menu option was gret! Local, authentic place, less tourist focused. Plan to spend so e time there, service is not fast. Ideal for larger groups too!

  • 5/5 Lynn M. 2 years ago on Google
    Ate here last night from the 10 euro 3 course menu. We really enjoyed every dish and left at the end feeling we had got a really good deal. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. The sweet trolley is the best I have ever seen!!

  • 5/5 Nicholas L. 2 years ago on Google
    Came back to this restaurant after 30 odd years and was just as good as remembered. Pleasant atmosphere and good traditional food at very reasonable prices. Very nice.

  • 5/5 Bartosz �. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best restaurant in Paphos! For 12.5e you are getting 3 course menu with carafe of wine. As a thank from the nice staff you will always get a shot of coffee liqueur with your bill. We loved it!

  • 5/5 Aleksandra W. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing place! There is delicious, homemade food in very good price. I have ordered soup, moussaka and dessert and paid only 10 euros. The portions are really big. I highly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Juli A. 2 years ago on Google
    We had three times dinner there, and we always enjoyed it. The ordered and served dishes were authentic Greek-Cypriot receipes. The service was always welcoming and very friendly. An absolutely recommendable place to eat and hang out in Paphos! :-)

  • 5/5 Malgorzata 2 years ago on Google
    Very good, authentic home made food. Highly recommened if you want to try local food. Prices are quite low for these meal portions. Try 3 course dinner

  • 2/5 Elspeth M. 2 years ago on Google
    Main food not bad. Their dessert trolley with fresh cream is left out on a trolley. Not advisable especially during very hot months.

  • 4/5 Tinkoo M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service and food. Fantastic value. I had the breaded mushrooms which were delicious. Moussaka which was very nice but a little bit too salty for me and a beautiful dessert. Had the house red wine which was very drinkable and they gave me an aperitif of brandy on the house. Very friendly staff and I really recommend the place.

  • 4/5 Noshir D. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly restaurant offering local cuisine with a great value set 3 course menu with a lot of choices for 12.5 euros, including a glass of wine. Food was good and portions generous. Complimentary liqueur at the end of the meal which was a nice touch. Happy to recommend

😐 We ate here after all of the 5 star reviews, but left disappointed. The calamari was delicious, but the chicken was a little dry (with no sauce), as was the lamb.
