7 St. George’s Tavern

7 St. George's Tavern is a family-run meze house tucked into the village of Geroskipou near Paphos, where the concept is refreshingly simple: there's no menu, just a steady procession of homemade Cypriot small plates that keep coming until you say stop. For a fixed price of around €25 per person, guests settle into a warm, homey dining room and let the kitchen decide, with meat-eaters and vegetarians alike well looked after.

Regulars returning after decades note that both the quality and generous quantity have stayed remarkably consistent. The hosts personally welcome each table, giving the evening the feel of eating in a friend's home rather than a restaurant. Fresh bread, well-priced house wine and much-loved desserts round out the experience.

Open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays), it has earned a 4.7 rating across more than 1,700 Google reviews. If you want an authentic, unhurried taste of traditional Cypriot hospitality and cooking that punches far above its modest bill, this village tavern is a must-visit.
