Taverna Exochi (Ταβερνα Εξοχη) is a warm, family-run tavern in the village of Frenaros, in the Famagusta district. Run by the owner alongside his mother and daughter, it has built a loyal following for authentic, homemade Cypriot cooking served in generous portions at very reasonable prices. Guests consistently praise the freshness of the food and the genuine, attentive hospitality that makes every visit feel personal.
The kitchen is known for its slow-cooked beef stifado, tender and rich in a deep, satisfying sauce, as well as house-made sheftalia and dishes freshly prepared each day. Open every evening except Sunday from 6pm, the tavern is an inviting spot for a relaxed dinner with family or friends who want to taste real local cuisine in a friendly, unhurried atmosphere.
