Nice outdoor setting. We ordered the Mezes dinner for two and it was very good. Past dining experiences in Cyprus were generally disappointing so this was a welcome surprise. The food just keeps on coming. My recommendation is to go light on the early offerings so that you have room at the end for the lamb.

We reserved a table by the fountain. The manager & the staff were very attentative recommending the mushroom risotto with fresh truffle (even showed us the truffle beforehand!). This was the best risotto I have ever tasted - full marks to the Chef. We must say that the Moussaka & the overnight cooked lamb were not the best we have... More

We decided to eat here as the restaurant looked popular. Although the waiters seemed very attentive and keen to get you sat down, the service was very poor, waiting for our food and drinks order, then we had to chase twice for our drinks. The food wasn't particularly tasty and portions were on the small side. My view is that... More

Its the third time in the last two years that I visited this restaurant. When it first opened it was fresh with new ideas, good service and a good wine list. I went there for dinner last week with another three persons and we had the meze option. Well Gourmet taverna is not so fresh anymore with an average quality... More

Had the pleasure of dining here on the last night of my recent trip to Paphos. Had walked past the restaurant all week and decided to try the Meze as a fitting end to a great week. The atmosphere and ambiance of the restaurant is fantastic. The whole experience was very pleasurable indeed. The Meze that was served was excellent,... More

Lovely setting, right at the harbour, my Husband and I tried this restaurant for dinner. We had the mezze starter between us which was delicious - my husband tried the Lamb Kleftiko & I had the seafood risotto - both OK, but not out of this world. Would visit again. Service excellent & small welcoming touches offered in the package... More
