Traditional taverna in the heart of the small village of Lofou, it's what you'd expect from a taverna with tasty food, a big menu, reasonable prices and a very attentive service. They offered us dessert in the end and it was such a lovely gesture that added to the lovely experience

This taverna serves the best meze in Cyprus! I'm serious, it's the best. They make the most delicious haloumi in the world and always offer new specials of the day. The service is always excellent! We come here several times a year for dinner!

Came here for dinner on a recommendation. Everything was delicious - especially loved the stuffed tomato special and the fried halloumi with the carob sauce (though that one is heavy, so bring friends to share!). Definitely recommend this place! Wonderful atmosphere! Our only regret is not making it back to try their mezze!
