Taverna Mosfilos is a beloved family-run tavern in Polis Chrysochous, in the Paphos district, where the focus is firmly on authentic, home-cooked Cypriot cooking rather than premium cuts or fashionable imports. Diners rave about traditional favourites such as slow-cooked stifado, perfectly cooked lamb and a memorable moussaka, all served in generous portions that will satisfy the hungriest appetites. Vegetarians are well catered for, and warm touches like complimentary olive-oil bread, olives and fruit after your meal add to the homely welcome.

The friendly, attentive staff have earned repeat visits from holidaymakers who return year after year, making it a genuine local favourite with a 4.4-star rating from more than 200 reviews. Set on a lively junction with distant mountain views, it suits couples, families with children and small groups alike. Open daily except Sunday from morning until late evening, Mosfilos is an ideal spot to experience the flavours and hospitality of village Cyprus. Come hungry, relax, and enjoy dishes cooked with genuine care and love.
