During our holiday in Cyprus we returned for 3 dinners. On Friday evening it is advisable to book because there is a show in the square and it is very popular. ONLY ON FRIDAY the dinner is a buffet so with 20 euros (excluding drinks) you can have as many dishes as you want (there were various sauces, baked and boiled potatoes, baked vegetable ratatuille, lamb, stewed chicken and beef, watermelon and grapes...). On the last evening (it wasn't a buffet but a la carte, being a Monday) I had a moussaka (very good and very hot!) and my husband had grilled calamari. The house offered a Greek salad and ice cream (also the previous time). Drinks: water and a small draft beer. In total we paid 33.50 euros....so let's say that the quality-price ratio is good! You can park a few meters before the square and walk for two minutes observing this small village (Pissouri). I can only recommend this tavern and give me a thumbs up if the advice has helped you! Thank you.

Came here as part of an excursion offered by our cruise ship. It was a lovely village and a beautiful outdoor dining restaurant. They brought out various shared family-style platters of food and beverages. The tzatziki was delicious, as were the potatoes, salad, and meat platter. Staff was friendly and efficient. We must have had two or three tour busses of people in there. The inside of the restaurant was open-air to the outside. Lastly, bathrooms were clean.

We had 2 meals here on our last holiday to Pissouri and both were great. It is located in the main square and all the food is lovely, with the service being good as well. The spare ribs I tried last night were exceptional, it was difficult eating them all at the time, but they placed my leftovers in a box so I could have them later. We therefore would recommend a visit here.

We booked this restaurant the night before for my wife's birthday to say we were disappointed is an understatement . A dried up Stiffado no sauce served with cous cous which is a cop out l had the pork chop which was nothing special with couple of chips. I know it's low season but to get it so wrong on a reduced menu is shocking. Lucky for us the other restaurants in the area were better and the service ten times better. All the time we were having our meal he was talking to other locals

We were shown to our table by a friendly young woman. We were told that certain dishes on the menu were no longer available, so we ordered dishes that were apparently available. After a 10-minute delay, the embarrassed server returned, apologised and told us that one of the alternative dishes was also not available. Ever patient, we changed our order and waited for a further 32 minutes without food being served. At that point, I went into the restaurant to complain. The staff looked surprised and immediately brought the over-cooked moussaka and aphelia that looked like canned dog food in a bowl. It seemed that the order had been taken, prepared and then forgotten about by the staff. Hence the burnt and revolting end product. When asked if "everything was alright", I told them it was awful. I didn't want a refund; we just wanted to pay, leave and warn other tourists not to go to that restaurant.

Very good cuisine, a bit more sophisticated than the average taverns we have come across so far. The halloumi with pomegranate is delicious, the grilled octopus is good, and other typical dishes like Afelia. Very good service. There are theme nights like Bouzouki night. It was fun 😃.

Recommended by locals so we visited for an evening meal. Lots of options home made. Friendly staff, superb food, particularly the very large pork chop, which unsurprisingly is very large !! Owner also local sommelier so went with his recommendations on local wines which was well worth it. Reasonably priced so all in all well worth a stop.

Another outstanding evening at this fabulous restaurant. A great selection of local and international dishes all presented with a little quirk that makes them stand out compared to other places in Pissouri. The vegan choices are creative and the selection is well put together, it is unusual to see so many options on a menu. On this occasion I had the seafood orzotto, one of the specials on offer, it was superb, beautifully combined ingredients and perfectly cooked. My husband had the meat mousakka which was full of flavour and a good size portion accompanied by a Greek salad lightly flavoured with dried mint. We shared a rocket salad as a starter which again had a well thought out and unusual combination of ingredients including pastalaki and air dried ham, delicious! The wine list is the most comprehensive in the village and expert advice is on hand from Haris to suggest which bottle would best suit your menu choices. Overall a fine dining experience in the ambience of the village square, you can book with the confidence that you will not be disappointed.

We love it here. The souvla on Sunday was gorgeous. The lamb was the best I’ve had so far in Cyprus. Warning, if you don’t reserve it or get there quick enough on a Sunday, it will sell out! Wine is delicious-we love the orange wine that they sell. We also love the staff-funny and friendly and always willing to accommodate. The owner is renowned for his wine knowledge too.

Excellent Meze with a great variety of beautifully cooked dishes complemented with some great local wines. Each dish and wine pairing was described in detail by the O'Vrakas staff. The restaurant is located in the lovely village square and it was a perfect way to spend a Saturday evening, enjoy a lovely meal in comfortable surroundings and soak up the village atmosphere. First class service and very good value for money.

We visited this restaurant after reading positive reviews. Wewere warmly welcomed and settled at our table, given food and drink menus. The wine recommended to us was excellent and I was able to get alcohol free wine (believe me, this is a rare event in the Uk). The food was tasty and plentiful. I would definitely recommend. The couldn’t do enough for us.

Poor and slow service And restaurant wasn’t busy. Food was basic, kalamari was chewy and I couldn’t eat it. The worst was the childrens nuggets that came with 6, yes 6 chips…. Good location but terrible food

We ordered Meze for 20€. Waiter said that it is okay for two people, but did not said that it was a price for person. In menu also was no clarification, everything looked like that it is just price for a dish. We were surpriced when recived bill for 40€ just for Meze. Food was ok, but not for this price. To be honest, looked like monkey business, menu was not clear enoug, waiters answers was a bit envasive 🤷‍♀️

Dear Anna I am really sorry to read your review and comments. You asked for Meze and clearly explained that Meze can be done for minimum of 2 people is not a possibility to make 1 Meze for two people. All listings and prices in the menu represent 1(one) portion hence the 20.00 listed in the menu. Moreover you had 2 Meze you finished your dinner and then your friends arrived and they also asked for 2 Meze and again when they asked for 1 Meze it was mentioned to them that Meze is only available for a minimum of 2 people and they also proceed and order as well. I apologise if the message was not clear but I cannot think of a more clear way to explain that you can not have 1 Meze for 2 people and that the certain is only served for a minimum of two guests.

We were in the area and stopped one day for lunch...then we returned the following day for dinner....we liked it a lot! It is a very pleasant family run taverna with lots of options, including lots of vegetarian and vegan dishes. We sampled several and they were all really tasty. The service is superb, they even recognized us and we were greeted with a friendly smile. The dips were great and my favourite was the Cypriot ravioli, highly recommended. They have a good wine list and the atmosphere is very welcoming. If you are in the area, just go and enjoy it!

Charming location , but the thing that put this place on the map for us was that it served the most soft , delicious, light ( not rubbery !) Halloumi we have ever eaten .Never in our lives have we tasted such superb halloumi . It is worth a visit here just to sample it . An incredible food memory
