👍👍 A nice place in the renovated old town of Paphos. It offers a healthy option. It serves a variety of fresh juices salads and sandwiches as well as coffee. Prices are reasonable and staff is friendly. The highlight is the old books that you can read. New coffee in the shop!

    Very good traditional food. The moussaka was amazing! Great local wine. The Meze is great which is like tapas, you order many small plates and get to try different things.

    Really nice and tasty selection of meze food,from deep fried bits, anchovies and fritters. Live music also adds to the atmosphere, maybe a tad loud, but not a bother. The staff were really friendly amd accomodating, explaining the dishes really well. Would go back next time Paphos.

    After looking for a place to dinner, traveling alone. And after being "rejected"because same reason. I was surprised with those places. The service is very good, the food is incredibly tasty. The atmosphere was perfectly what someone visiting there country is looking for. Very good local singer, playing some local music. It was amazing to see some elderly people singing along. Will definitely go back there of i come back to Cyprus.

    The service was good, however, the food left much to be desired. It was undercooked, lacking in flavor, and somewhat cold. Definitely not what I expected from previous reviews. Additionally, the presence of a female singer had an adverse impact on the ambiance, as her shouting rather than singing was quite off-putting.

    After a little walk through the center of Paphos we ended up here because of the nice reviews. We immediately got a table nicely outside and the waiter and waitress after were very nice. It was on a Saturday night and so there was someone setting up his musical instruments. The 3 headed band started playing just after 21:00. The music was a little to loud to enjoy your table company. So the food system is like you order your own Meze. But i find it pricy and the taste was below average. We had 4 dishes and only 1 of them was packed with flavor, the others were not balanced or average. So unfortunately not that great of an experience. But I'm still wondering why there is a bicycle hanging in the restaurant? Find this review helpfull? Click on the thumbs up button! When in Cyprus follow me for more!

    This was probably the best meal that we had while in Cyprus.A meze but you choose which dishes that you would like so you don't feel like you could burst.Also live entertainment from a local band.What is there not to like.

    Very polite personnel and helpful too. Unfortunately the food was below average. We ordered a few appetisers to nibble on, and a main dish to share between me, my wife and my 4 year old daughter. All the dishes were served before my wife and daughter came back from washing their hands, so we are talking about 5-6 minutes. - daily greens (curled-leaves endives), where undercooked and crispy - stuffed red pepper, you could only taste the dill that was in a white cheese stuffing. The pepper was dry and microwave-reheated - deep fried zucchini and aubergine in porridge. The oil that was used for deep frying was not changed/fresh. Each bite would squeeze more oil from the porridge crust - grilled mushrooms. Worst dish of all, the mushrooms did have some burn marks, thus grilling marks, but they were not fresh and were microwave reheated. My daughter who loves mushrooms, had to spit it out. - Metsovitiko chicken, was really soft but heavy on the spices, so there were no flavours to understand.

    We were lucky to have a live tradition music during our evening meal. Nice atmosphere in a small quiet restaurant. Food was ok but it didn't came out all together, I've got mine long after my girlfriend finished her main. Over all ok but not great.

    Really poor place! Service is very bad! We asked 3 times for ketchup just to tell us the 3rd time that they don't have. Food wasn't good also...for example beef liver was over cooked , chicken in pot had a bad smell and even greek salad wasn't as expected! The only nice food was kolokithokeftedes. Stuffed burger was average.

    Unfortunately complete disaster, do not recommend. After arriving, we received menus, in which there was no beverages at all. We asked for menu with drinks and we received completely different ones. We placed orders from both menus, pointing with fingers the items which we wanted. Should be easy. In menu it was written that the dishes are coming with potato’s and salad, which was confirmed with the waitress who seemed to understand everything we wanted. The food stared to arrive in small gaps, none of the dishes came with potato’s. After trying to have a conversation with a waitress we were told she’s not speaking English and she’s new here. The restaurant was empty, we were the only table, why was she let to take orders from English speaking customers at all? Later on they told us that we were given breakfast menu, but it was written “lunch menu” on it? Complete confusion, and looks like the stuff did not know what they are doing there. The prices did not match at all to those written in the menus. Few items was taken out of the bill, some side dishes were given to us after our plates with main courses were empty. We received an apologies, potato’s for free, and a plate of fruits on the house. I would rather have things from the menu on time with the side dishes together than all this. Probably would be much better somewhere else, and stuff from this restaurant should be retrained from simple things, like what kind of menu applies at what time of the day, or what side dishes are served with what? Not to mention, that the prices from the menu should match those from the bill?!?

    I guess food was ok. Overall eatable But charging 11€ for ridiculously small portion of grilled octopus? Come on. Spent 20€ for meal there and now i have to order something else. Next time I'll pass

    Awesome live folk music, friendly people and complementary watermelon 😄 I found this place by accident when looking for food past 10pm and it was a fun night :) That cheese bowl is crazy though, who can eat so much cheese in one go? I was eating it for a week 😆

    Cool retro cafe in the old town of Paphos. Very good service!! Nice and friendly staff:) Love that they have vegan options! Good juice, lovely quinoa salad (a little too much ruccula;) just hoping they add more greens - perfect!) and good coffee! ps. Not their straw. I brought my own metal straw as I try not to use plastic straws...

    Excellent authentic Greek food. Fantastic Fava, fried cheese (with honey), fried veggies. On weekends, live Greek music is played. Must book ahead.

  • 5/5 frankie d. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing food, great service and such a lovely and welcoming vibe. We went here twice on our holiday. The first time had traditional music on a Saturday night! Really good food for vegetarians and the local white wine is delicious. This is a must if your are near the old town in Paphos. Thank you Antigo family!

  • 5/5 Amadeusz 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best mezze in Paphos - grilled octopus is truly amazing. On Saturday evenings (but not only then) for sure you will be able to hear original live Greek and Cypriot music.

  • 5/5 Lawrentz J. 1 year ago on Google
    We visited for lunch on a week day, the owner was very friendly and welcoming. The Mousaka was excellent so was the salad. My usual Ouzo drink a bit over priced. I will visit again!

😐 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...
