2. The Village Tavern
Overall Ratings

“The Village Restaurant” in Platres belongs to Agi Jacovides, the owner of Semiramis Hotel. I was amazed with the delicious cuisine of Agi and he was telling me that he is cooking everything by himself only. Nobody else helps in the kitchen. He is very passionate with his cooking which he learned from his mother he said. One can find mostly traditional Cypriot cuisine here and from what I found out from the little chat I had with other people, everyone likes it here. Prices are affordable and portions quite big. From what I have seen the Restaurant is very popular both with Cypriots who come to Platres by coaches and the restaurant is full each day, but also it is popular with tourists who come to Platres and enjoy his Cypriot cuisine. Mousaka costs 10 euro, Kalamari (squid) 8.50, Steak port chop 7.50, Koupepia –stuffed vine leaves 9 euro. A beer will cost you 2.50 euro and a carafe of wine 75ml costs 7.50 euro. I found the prices reasonable, and because everything used here is freshly cut I can strongly recommend it. Agi will do his best to have his customers happy. The view from the restaurant is panoramic, but the inside decor is also great.

We were a party of 9 and just turned up in the afternoon without booking. Nothing was too much trouble for the wonderful restaurant manager who despite being on his own expecting a quiet afternoon, served us delicious authentic food. Lovely restaurant with great views and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.

We used to eat here regularly 30-years ago over a 3 year period. Recently revisited the Phini Tavern to have a Phini Special Steak which August the Owner is renowned for. The service was as fantastic as it ever was. The host has fantastic and friendly as ever. The food was brilliant making this the best restaurant in the Troodos Mountains, set in the quiet village.

We were staying with our very very good friends in Souni and drove up to Vouni to visit Takis. The welcome is very good and the Food - Meze - is great Quality and plenty of it. Not your Tourist style Meze, but a Proper Cypriot Meze. Great Value in a great Traditional Troodos Village Taverna.
7. Platanos Taverna

Reviewed By Laurent J - Nicosia, Cyprus
My wife and I were touring the area of Lefkara and Katodhrys villages. At 12:30 noon we popped in to Platanos Tavern at Katodhrys for lunch. We had the option of sitting inside in the dining room or outside under the huge platanos tree. Given the prevailing summery weather at the time, we opted for the latter.
The environment was a lovely one under the platanos tree, bringing one closer to nature and so being conducive to the formation of a relaxed atmosphere. Besides, everything was clean, tidy and very well organised.
We were very lucky to find a table given that we had not reserved one! It is imperative to book a table in advance if one is going to Platanos Tavern on a Saturday or Sunday.
We both ordered chicken souvla and a village salad. Oh my God! That was the best chicken souvla we have had in our lives! It was simply delicious, superb. Furthermore, it was very well presented and the quantity was huge – four large pieces of souvla and three large potatoes; we could not eat it all even though we are big mouths. Additionally, the village salad was fresh and very tasty. Finally, we were offered four large pieces of a fried, creamy sweet that was very nice and included in the price. Service was fast and efficient.
Given the above and the very logical prices (€ 10,00 for the souvla dish and € 6,00 for the salad) the whole experience was excellent value for money.
Platanos Tavern is a very highly recommended place, we will call again!

A very welcome contrast to many-many restaurants at the seaside. A real authentic feel, beautiful surroundings and, above all, delicious food, especially the meat dishes - I think this was the first time were could sample pork, beef, lamb and chicken at the same time :). We were four adults and two children, and paid EUR 85 for a huge bowl of soup, two vegetable salads, five or six meat courses, and lots of homemade wine. And plenty was left to take away. Awesome!

One of the best meat meze in Cyprus. Very friendly staff, cozy space with stone fireplace. Price is more than good for one person only 20 euro for meze. It was more than enough for 3 adults and 2 children. Especially recommanded local bread. Looking forward to be back soon!
