Taverna Filothea in Latsia is a cozy, evenings-only spot for traditional Cypriot dining. Guests come for generous meze platters full of classic flavors, while Thursdays feature ofto kleftiko—highlighted in reviews as a standout. Diners consistently praise the warm, attentive service, relaxed atmosphere and hearty portions, making it a welcoming choice for unhurried summer nights with friends.

The taverna opens Monday to Saturday from 18:30 to midnight (closed Sundays), so it suits late dinners; it’s wise to reserve ahead, especially for larger groups.
