Gourmet Taverna

Restaurant

👍👍 Gourmet Taverna is a game changer. Starters, mine courses, drinks, wine. Everything was just perfect. But what makes the atmosphere even more memorable, are people working there. The staff is just exceptional. I did like the fact food is balanced mixture of tradion and modern influencees. People often mention service, good, staff, nice, friendly, recommend, restaurant, risotto, tasty, delicious,

    This was definitely one of the best dining experiences I had in Cyprus during my holiday. Lovely atmosphere to sit outside by the fountain. Staff were very friendly and quick with service. I had the Kleftiko and my girlfriend has the seafood risotto. Both were incredibly delicious. The lamb literally just fell off the bone. We also shared the chocolate lava cake which was phenomenal. Absolutely recommend for any visit to Paphos

    A really beautiful dining experience, loved all the dishes we've ordered (sea food risotto is a Milanese style risotto that you should try!). Friendly staff, would definitely visit again each time in cyprus

    This is by far the best restaurant we tried in Pafos. Excellent local dishes with fresh, high quality ingridients. Super tasty starters, great main dishes and desserts. Highly recommend.

    Our first impression of the restaurant was not very good because when my friend and I sat down at a 4-seater table, the waitress asked us to move to another 2-seater table despite the restaurant being empty and remained empty until we left. Despite this first impression, we stayed and had a very nice evening. The food was excellent (I ordered the rib-eye steak with mushroom sauce and my friend ordered the Norwegian salmon). The chef came over and talked to us about the preparation of the steak and was very nice and talkative. The other waiter who brought the entrees was also very nice and friendly. Therefore, despite first impressions, I give the restaurant 5 stars on all the criteria rated.

    We were struggling to find a restaurant as we thought we were going to watch the sunset so tried to eat early however just sacked it off. We were looking at reviews and not many seemed right apart from Gourmet Taverna! Great service and very friendly staff! I had prawn linguine which was perfect but my mum had a seafood salad and my dad had stifado! Very nice place to eat, great food, lovely view of the sea and friendly staff! A great place to eat if you want to spend a little more money!

    Fairly busy when I visited, all outside seating either taken or reserved. Had a very tasty salmon meal. Good service. Popped into Nero’s afterwards which is directly opposite.

    Good place! Very tasty food, especially lava cake! Helpful and polite service! We wanna back here again. Thank you for a nice dinner.

  • 5/5 Justin B. 7 months ago on Google
    Great food and atmosphere, generous portions and attentive service. Would give five stars based on the strength of the octopus alone, very meaty and not a hint of rubber. We also had the Moussaka and Lamb (Kleftiko). Both were good, but in retrospect would order something more interesting. Be warned the Moussaka is heavily spiced (lots of cumin, not a bad thing) and potato heavy. Lamb was decently tender but could have done with some more jus. Can’t comment on desert because we were too full to finish our mains!

  • 5/5 Jason S. 8 months ago on Google
    The food is absolutely amazing. The staff are very friendly and become almost family by the end of the evening. You are not rushed and can be as quick or as long as you want. Will definitely recommend it and come again. The Lava pudding is to die for you never want it to end

    Very good cyprian food. The best halumi I tried ever. Very good spaghetti with prawns.. Good white wine per glas.

  • 5/5 Andreas M. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was just incredible. The service from start to finish was heartwarming. All the staff & waiters were very friendly & very helpful. Our hostess went above and beyond to offer us fresh fruit on a complimentary basis as well as some additional wine on the house! Exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Victoria K. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing risotto with seafood! Very nice location and tables for two near the fountain.

  • 5/5 Teri 10 months ago on Google
    The best lamb I ever ate, most delicious, tender, full of taste, I guess I'm still dreaming about it. Also the portion is huge yet very fairly priced. I was also impressed by the staff, they were professional, friendly but not in the sleazy intrusive way, they were simply nice. The waiter also gave us breakfast place recommendation that was also perfect. I'm still sorry we only went for one dinner, the other place was not worth it.

  • 5/5 Lucy C. 10 months ago on Google
    Superb restaurant. My partner and I visited twice as the food was so good. The lunch menu for two people at 25 euros is outstanding. We had the pork meatballs and the moussaka. Unbelievably good. Everything is homemade including the warm crusty bread. The lunch menu includes Greek yogurt with honey. Amazing. We returned for a third visit the day we were leaving but unfortunately it was closed due to a national holiday. I fully recommend 'GT' 🥳

    This restaurant was recommended by people staying in Dionysos Hotel and what a treat it was. Huge portions and very tasty. My son had succulent pig which was amazing . I had salmon and it was so tasty with plenty of veg I really enjoyed the food. The staff were all lovely and couldn’t do enough for you. One of the best restaurants around the whole area. Well worth a visit. I will def go back to it just wish I had discovered it earlier on holiday,

😐 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. The moussaka was 75% aubergine, so could have done with a little more meat in my opinion. The drinks weren't the cheapest either, espec...
