KafeOinos in Kalopanayiotis is a cozy café and wine bar situated in the heart of this picturesque Cypriot mountain village, just a short distance from Troodos. The establishment is known for its unique blend of retro and modern décor, featuring a large central fireplace and antique stone walls that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Guests can enjoy a selection of local wines, cocktails, coffee, and homemade lemonade, all served by friendly staff in a setting that combines the charm of an old structure with contemporary touches. KafeOinos is especially popular for its relaxed vibe, making it an ideal spot for an afternoon drink or a late-night gathering, as it is one of the few places in the village open at night. While the menu focuses on drinks and nibbles rather than full meals, visitors appreciate the value for money, the music, and the overall ambiance. The café is also noted for hosting private parties and is praised for its hospitality, making it a recommended stop for anyone exploring Kalopanayiotis.

Cellar 27 Wine and Cocktail bar (which opened early 2017) sits on Athinon street and it’s a smashing little find – aesthetically delightful with an array of premium cocktails and wines. The purpose of the venue was to offer people a stylish bar where customers could enjoy quality drinks, relaxation, food, fun and live events in a chilled environment. And they succeeded. It offers live musical entertainment three times a week, 75 different wines (chosen by two popular sommeliers) and over 30 cocktails including well-loved classics and creative signatures. Wines are from Cyprus, Greece, France, Italy, Chile, Argentina and Spain and their signature cocktail Lips on Fire. Cellar 27 holds approximately 110 people inside and out and is especially suited to groups and couples. Reservations are recommended, especially on live event nights which take place on Wednesdays (jazz nights from September 20), Fridays (live saxophone) and some Saturdays (duets with piano and vocals and piano, violin and vocals.) It’s both modish and cosy; decorated with wood, black paint and long mirrors stretching elegantly deep into both parts of the rooms, making the smallish space feel comfortably roomy and open. There are two outdoor areas, one in front near the main […]

If you don’t want to cook them at home and prefer to enjoy them cooked right there to have them over a cold beer Bavarian is open for lunch daily and dinner on Wednesday and Friday.

It is also said that the Ottoman sultan Selim II invaded the island just to acquire Commandaria; also that the grapes used to make this wine were the same grapes exported to Portugal that eventually became famous as the source of port wine.

Deli by day, casual bar-restaurant by night, Limoncello is all about fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Its main suppliers – the grocers and butchers of Ayios Antonios Municipal Market – are just a stone’s throw away. The small menu features piadina (Italian pizza-style flatbread), steaks, fish and meat dishes (the oven-roasted duck is delicious), as well as quirky artisan burgers. You will find the tables of the Limoncello Deli-Bar huddled amongst various food stalls of this old (but recently renovated market), but don’t let this put you off. Limoncello is the perfect lunch stop or the great place to spend the evening. Its name ‘Limoncello’ is that of the popular Italian lemon liqueur and certainly hints at the fact that most of the dishes have a distinctly Italian flavour! Another real bonus is that it has the best delicatessen for miles around and it has a lovely casual ambience which is perfect for relaxing. The menu is small but definitely tempting with steak and real good burgers as the two main dishes but an array of pizzas and salads also on offer and delicious piadina (sandwiches). If you are enjoying lunch at Limoncello there will be the colourful bustle of the market in the background […]

Daniel and Theoni’s vision is to offer wine of the finest quality while continuing to highlight the strength of the Cypriot grape varieties and tradition.
