Pafos Restaurants

  1. Argo

    Decent kleftiko is made freshly and twice a week (Tuesday and Saturday), when it's advisable to book. The moussaka is recommended. The restaurant has a small terrace and is in the (relatively) quiet part of tourist-tastic Kato Pafos.

  2. Hondros

    A fat Cypriot bloke in an undershirt gives you 'come hither' glances from the big board above Hondros. Below is a lovely terrace shaded by vines. Tables are covered in simple pink checked cloths, the service is good and the food traditional and delicious. The menu offers all the usual Cypriot dishes, with meaty stifado (rabbit or beef stew) and kleftiko , and a variation on the tasty Turkish dish Imam Bayildi , here known as Imam (aubergines and courgettes in a tomato and garlic sauce).

  3. Kiniras Garden

    This little oasislike restaurant is in the leafy and shaded garden of the Kiniras hotel. The owner demands booking in advance, as he gets his ingredients fresh according to the number of diners booked - a very good sign. The appetisers are named after villages in the North, where the owner was born. Kleftiko (oven-baked lamb) is a house specialty and worth coming for - once you eat a good kleftiko you'll become fussy indeed.

  4. Mother's Restaurant

    A good place for a bit of fish, which explains all the cats lounging in the courtyard. The fresh seafood platter is a good starter for two people. It also serves 'vetererian' dishes.
