Fettas Tavern

Restaurant

👍 About 15 of us met for a meze (the meat version). The food came out on the go and the table began to fill up with dishes (a bit too fast for my liking as you couldn't relax too much as you would be overrun with dishes). The photos won't do it justice as there was approximately 15-20 dishes, I'm gu... People often mention meze, good, dishes, meat, service, menu, recommend, staff, nice, meal,

    We went there for dinner at the “feta tavern” so we obviously wanted two grilled feta to try it and one main course to share as we were not that hungry, the waitress refused to take our order and said that we needed to order at least two main dishes and just one started as they couldn’t take an order like that, we kindly asked once again if we could take 2 starters and one main course and we explained that we were not super hungry… and well of course he said sorry but no. So be aware… , also there is no menu so be careful with the prices

    The price of 25 eur for a meze is unbelievable!!! Being a Cypriot having enjoyed meze in many taverns in different cities (and of course in Pafos as well) with excellent food and service I have to say that it was very expensive especially because the food and service were average. In addition to this, no menus were provided and there were no prices written anywhere. Disappointing and so wouldn't recommend it at all!

The food came out on the go and the table began to fill up with dishes (a bit too fast for my liking as you couldn't relax too much as you would be overrun with dishes). The photos won't do it justice as there was approximately 15-20 dishes, I'm guessing. The food was full of flavour and very enjoyable a couple of the dishes I found to be too salty one being rice! Walked away stuffed even feeling it still in the morning - breakfast or no breakfast....!!! As for price couldn't say as it was a treat.

    Recommended to us by our local taxi driver for the meze, he said it’s where all the locals in the old town go, himself included. There was live music, helpful staff, plenty of food and drink and a really nice atmosphere. There is no menu here for food or drink, or at least there wasn’t when we went, but there is the choice of vegetarian or meat meze, a variety of beers and wine, as well as desserts. The plates just keep coming, so we didn’t have any room for dessert, but the mains were brilliant. I wouldn’t say the baked feta with honey was worth paying extra for, but only because there is so much choice already. At the end of the evening, the owner ordered a taxi for us, and whilst people were waiting for a table, we were never rushed off of ours, even when we just had drinks left.

    Absolutely wonderful restaurant in the middle of Pafos town. Recommended by the Rough Guide and a taxi driver, this place is divine. Fresh food and ingredients, numerous courses as part of the Meze and not a bad dish amongst them. Don't settle for the numerous genetic restaurants catering for tourists. Go get some proper authentic Cypriot food. And make Fettas your first stop. I've given 4 stars for service and atmosphere not 5 as we were tucked away on the edge of the terrace and got forgotten at the beginning. But they soon made up for it! Oh and minus points for not knowing George Michael, or that he was half Cypriot!

    Excellent option for having a traditional cyprus meze dinner! Many different plates all of them delicious and cooked properly! A tavern I will visit again when I will go to Paphos next time.

    Good food but unfortunately not honest owner. Prices and menu are not written, and they told us they have only meze. We paid it 25 euros each, when in every tavern of Cyprus you pay between 15 and 18 euros. We checked their fb page and according to their prices we paid everything higher (beverage included). And at the end paying with cards was not possible.... Its a trap for tourists, avoid it

    Fantastic meal! Rocked up at 22:30 and was served a delicious meze! The thing on the left with aubergine & feta was divine. Proper wine as well.

    25eur per person for meze excluding drinks and desert!!!!! Service too slow, took us 1.30hr to be served the last dish.. Food quality was average, sieftalia was raw.. They should be more clear about prices when trying to make clients to order desert as they make you think that desert is on the house but they finally charge you.. There are much better options for 25 eur per person!!!!!!

    We visited this place 4 times: June 2019, August 2020, June 2021 and September 2021. The first 3 visits were great, as you can see from the number of times we returned. However, the latest experience was just unbelievably different. We came on Monday and were told “we only serve meze on Mondays” but it was a lie as I see in other reviews that it’s the same for Fridays and other days of week. There was no menu and we didn’t ask the price as we previously knew the restaurant as reasonable priced. We ordered 4x Meze, large water, large beer and 0.5l wine. The meal was good, with decent portions and great variety of food. Rather good service, too. The worst of surprises came with the bill - 124€ ! But as it was a birthday dinner of a family member, we paid with bill without any objections and left. I checked the reviews later and found out the “normal” price for meze is 20€ per person, which means we were overcharged by approximately 30€! I don’t know what is forcing this restaurant to implement such miserable tactics. I find it sad when loyal customers are treated this way and neither me, nor my family will be returning after such disrespect.

    Absolutely fantastic! First real meal in Cyprus and it did not disappoint! Left with our stomachs full for days from the endless Meze dishes. It set the bar so high for other restaurants serving Meze, that we were sad we ordered it from other places and tainted its memory. 100% would recommend it to anyone visiting Paphos.

    The food was good and the quantity excellent. The service could have been slightly better. The waitress could have explained what dishes where included with the Meze. The location is magnificent!

  • 5/5 Amedeo Panvini Rosati H. 6 months ago on Google
    Lovely dinner, we ate outside and had the veggie meze. the food was delicious, and in great quantity. Stefanos and the rest of the staff was so so friendly and welcoming - so much so we went another time too! The square is lovely, tucked away from tourist central and you can tell the food is good as lots of locals also eat there. A MUST!!

  • 4/5 Simona P. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was exceptional, however, we were not given any menu to check prices - not even for drinks! I wish I could have seen it.

  • 5/5 Michalis P. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place, warm atmosphere and tasty food. We ordered tyrokafteri, zucchini balls, halloumi, greek salad, feta saganaki, chicken kebab, chicken breast, pork belly and beef liver. Cons: - Meat was overcooked - A bit expensive

  • 4/5 Diana W. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was amazing, but still don't understand why we couldn't have one wegetarian and one meat meze, finally we took two meat meze. The owner was not very polite at the begining, did not explain what is meze and what dishes are included...But still happy about the taste

  • 5/5 Andrew B. 11 months ago on Google
    Visitied over Easter hols. Deicided to eat in the 'old' town rather that Kato Paphos. Meze only, no menu (maybe because of the time of the year). Food was great and atmpsphere nice, mix of tourists and locals. Approx £80 for 3 with a beer and a couple of glasses of wine. Nice location with the recently refurbished buildings and pedestrian areas.

    THE REAL AND AUTHENTIC GREEK CUSINE. we arrived here our first night in Paphos for hazard and it was an incredible surprise. A warm welcome from the owner and the staff. We tried some of the best zucchini balls ever and also the meze was super good. Also the fish was fresh and tasty. We went back also another day. Highly recommended, the atmosphere was nice as well. Thank you for make us feeling home

  • 5/5 Eilidh F. 4 months ago on Google
    Absolutely excellent meal enjoyed here this evening. The food is outstanding - very fresh and expertly cooked, the staff are really friendly and efficient and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. The manager is really passionate about the food and it shows - the meats are just excellent. Thoroughly recommended!

  • 1/5 Indre M. 5 months ago on Google
    As we received menus we were informed that some dishes will be with 10% extra charge. We didn’t question that even though it should have been a sign of malicious intent from restaurant's side. As we have received our bill ALL the prices were not as on the menu and waaaaaaaay more up that 10%! I have never experienced such level ‘theft’ (can’t call it anything else)! I am in shock!!

  • 4/5 Will W. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice location. The waiters were a little variable as were the dishes. The loukoumades were disappointing and chicken overcooked - belly pork in wine was very good and almost tipped me over to a 5 star rating.

  • 5/5 Christopher V. 1 year ago on Google
    Best place to come in old town Pathos. Owner makes you feel so welcome. Food is amazing. Always busy but always make accommodation if you just come for a drink. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Can't fault the place. Will be back. Thanks for making my holiday special.

  • 5/5 Danni M. 2 years ago on Google
    Most amazing meal we has in paphos, not that expensive for a multiple course messa(must have been about 10 courses at least). Make sure you dontnfill up on the bread because they keep coming. I'm veggie, and they have a full veggie menu of traditional dishes, my friend had the meat but the meat wasn't dominating the Meal. Its a few hours of meal so leave room for everything from start salad to coffee (which I would highly recommend). The staff were great and so friendly especially Giorgio. The wine we had was amazing.

    Nice food, nice People. Very recommanded.

  • 4/5 Dona V. 2 years ago on Google
    We didn't have a table booked, they found us one after 5 minutes of waiting unlike all the other restaurants. While waiting for the food, I went to check the reviews and was very shocked. I disagree with most of the reviews because I don't understand what do people expect to pay for that much food. I personally think 25e per person for meat meze is quite okay. The restaurant is definitely understaffed and you have to wait for some time for food and drinks to arrive. When it comes to food, it's good, not the best that I ever ate but it is good for what you pay, especially cheese balls, village salad, sheftalia, souvlaki from pork meat and of course pitta.

  • 5/5 James L. 5 years ago on Google
    We asked the staff at the hotel to recommend a local place that is not geared up for tourist and they recommended this place. We had the meat meze and it was lovely, the food just keeps on coming. All seating was outside and there is a nice area away from the road for kids to run around and play so you can keep an eye on them. Nice water feature and greenery to look at whilst eating. The couple next to us was complaining that the service was bad because they didn't keep coming over and asking if everything was ok or if they wanted more drinks. I explained to them that's not how it works, they are people that like to leave you to enjoy your meal without being pestered every 5 mins but if you want or need something just ask. Would highly recommend this place to others.

    We came here due to a recommendation and we are so grateful for it! Wonderful food, truely exceptional! Excellent service! Our best food ecperience in Cyprus :) You can expect an evening of surprise mezze, traditional Cyprus style + fun + great hospitality :)

  • 1/5 Alessio Dal P. 2 years ago on Google
    Food good but no menu written, not possible to pay with cards, and an extremely high price for meze. According to their fb page we paid everything higher. In conclusion, maybe a good place for locals, but a trap for tourists

  • 2/5 Elena S. 2 years ago on Google
    Fettas used to be the best taverna in Paphos, alas I can now say it is totally average. The souvlaki was greasy and not smoky at all suggesting it was cooked on a hot plate rather than coal. They lost our reservation made 2 days before so we sat next to the very noisy kitchen. The mere was the only option and over €23-24 pp. We would have left if we didn't have hungry kids with us but very disappointing...rent be going back. Setting is beautiful though hence 2 stars.

  • 4/5 pg0909 p. 2 years ago on Google
    I know Fettas many years now... The atmosphere is very good right in the center of old town The food is very good even though smaller portions and more expensive.... The service if you go around 8-8.30 is good but if you go later is bad... When we went it was hot......so few fans outside would make cooler the atmosfere... All in all i recommend Fettas but its more than it should

  • 4/5 Simone J. 2 years ago on Google
    The reviews for this place are REALLY harsh. The food was good, the service was kind, and we paid card like all the tables around us. I’m unsure who these “critics” are but 1 star is simply untrue and unwarranted. Nice, open air location in the old town of Paphos.
