Anesi Restaurant is a warm, family-run taverna in the village of Peyia, just above the coast in the Paphos district. Owners George and Helen, together with their family, are known for genuine hospitality that quickly makes guests feel at home. The kitchen serves authentic Greek and Mediterranean cooking, with a generous choice ranging from mixed grills and huge pork chops to chicken dishes and fresh local seafood such as garlic prawns, calamari and sea bass.

Traditional favourites like moussaka are prepared with a lighter touch than you might expect, and diners consistently praise the homemade cheesecake as a standout finish, best enjoyed with a glass of wine or a cold beer. With attentive, professional service, a relaxed atmosphere and generous portions at fair prices, Anesi has earned a loyal following and a 4.5 rating across more than 300 reviews. Open for lunch and dinner Monday to Saturday, it is a welcoming spot for families, groups and visitors seeking a true taste of Cypriot and Greek hospitality.
