This delightful cafe, renowned for its cozy ambiance and authentic hospitality, invites you to indulge in a taste of local culture, making it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the island.

Stepping inside, you’re greeted by a friendly atmosphere that feels like a home away from home. The decor captures the essence of traditional Cypriot aesthetics, creating a welcoming environment that encourages guests to relax and unwind. Whether you choose to sit indoors or on the spacious terrace, you're in for a treat.

While Episkopi Traditional Cafe does not feature an extensive food menu throughout the day, its offerings are carefully curated, ensuring a delightful culinary experience. Guests rave about the lunchtime salads bursting with freshness and the delicious evening solvakis, a staple that showcases the succulent flavors of grilled meat marinated in herbs. If you find yourself here on a weekend, be sure to book in advance for a taste of the kleftiko—a tender, slow-cooked lamb dish that is rich in flavor and absolutely unforgettable.

The attention to detail and quality is palpable, as noted by customer Wayne Coombe, who described his experience as feeling “as though they had cooked a meal just for us.” This personal touch is what makes Episkopi Traditional Cafe stand out; the generous hosts go above and beyond to ensure that every guest feels valued.

And while the cafe focuses on food, it's also a fantastic spot to take a break and enjoy a refreshing drink. The outdoor terrace, particularly enticing on a sunny day, provides ample shade and stunning views of the surrounding natural beauty. Sip on an iced coffee or one of their other beverages while soaking in the serene landscape—though be aware that some drinks may not meet expectations, as noted by Terry Hooper.

Episkopi Traditional Cafe also serves as a perfect starting point for exploring the rich geological and botanical heritage of the area. As George Weeks highlighted, nearby attractions are educational and fascinating, with knowledgeable staff and interesting displays to enhance your visit. While food may not be available at these nearby attractions, Episkopi provides a lovely spot to enjoy a meal after an enriching day of exploration.

For those seeking a genuine taste of Cyprus paired with exceptional service and a charming environment, Episkopi Traditional Cafe is not just a cafe—it's an experience waiting to be enjoyed. Don’t miss out—stop by, book your table for the weekend specials, and immerse yourself in the heart of Cypriot hospitality.

Called by chance one Sunday, so good we went again the following Sunday. Authentic taverna in a beautiful setting. On our second occasion we booked in advance and it felt as though they had cooked a meal just for us. Very generous hosts and delicious traditional food.

I called in for a drink during my bicycle ride. There is plenty of room inside for when it gets a little cold. However, as I visited around lunchtime on a sunny day, I sat on the terrace, which, by the way, was quite spacious. It has plenty of shade for those who need it. I had an Iced Coffee that cost me €2, but unfortunately, it was somewhat disappointing. It was drinkable. However, compared to the numerous ones I have had in the many different cafes I have visited, it wasn't anywhere near as good. While I was there, someone ordered food, and I must admit it did look very good. A very relaxing cafe with great views and friendly service.
