Paphos Eating & Drinking

Paphos has a good selection of dining choices. While the city does offer international and western staples such as KFC and McDonald's, the local flavour hits a high note in dining in this Cypriot town. For the best taste of regional food make sure that you venture outside the main city to the mountains or the village of Kathikas. Here, travellers can be treated to a conventional Cypriot meze in one of the taverns or restaurants or in a customary ouzeri, which is a cafe that serves ouzo, a traditional anise-flavoured Greek and Cypriot liqueur. A meze consists of small dishes to be shared around the table. At the Cypriot table, you may find seafood dishes, kalamata olives, various cheeses, vegetable dishes, and meats. Local foods include saganaki (fried or grilled cheese), bekri-meze (diced pork stew), melitzanosalata (eggplant salad), keftedes (meatballs), dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), and tatamosalata (salad made of fish roe). Meze also includes garlic bread, which pairs nicely with the olive oil infused spreads and salads. Two types of meze are indicative of the appropriate drink pairing for the meal. The ouzomezedhes menu is designed to go with ouzo, while the krasomezedhes is meant to go well with a wine pairing. Many traditional Cyprus meals are accompanied by local wine. For those not fond of wine, the locals like to opt for lager. In addition, the local Cyprus Brandy is often accompanied by the meze meal.
