Tucked into the mountain village of Kakopetria in the Troodos foothills, Taverna stou Zoppi serves traditional Cypriot meze in a characterful old stone house. Guests settle beneath the trees, surrounded by greenery and mountain scenery, for a relaxed and authentic experience run with genuine warmth by a welcoming family. The kitchen focuses on classic Cypriot fare and generous meze spreads made for sharing, with regulars pointing to standouts such as the liver, stuffed zucchini flowers and keftedes.
It is an easy choice for a leisurely lunch, a laid-back group gathering or a cosy evening away from the city, especially in the cooler shade of the garden on a hot day. Because it is a small family-run spot, calling ahead is recommended so the hosts can prepare for your visit, and patience is worth having when the taverna is busy. Open through the day most of the week with dinner-only hours on Monday and a shorter Sunday lunch service, it captures the honest, unhurried spirit of a Cypriot village taverna.
