Hi Chris,

If you go to La Vigna tell Sid (real name Sotiris) we recommended it. He is a brilliant waiter and will look after you very well.

Chris if you stay away from the harbour and sea front areas and stick to the Tombs of the kings there are plenty of places which serve decent food and are far less pricy than the harbour.
Try Raffles for a decent 3 course meal at very reasonable prices. It is on the corner at the traffic lights near the Phuket Thai and chinese restaurant.

We find that the RENDEZVOUS restaurant by the Avanti Hotel entrance superb value. The chef, Michael, is the owner and trained in the USA. Steaks are good. In the winter he has a huge raised fire in the centre. Thoroughly recommend it.

Have just discovered a fantastic Argentinian Steak Restaurant in Kakopetria Old Town, well worth a visit, very reasonable prices, lovely owners and steaks to die for.

I am desperate for a good steak! Are you allowed to tell us where it is or what it's called?

Mycroft I have merged this post with the sticky thread on nice nights out.
No point in having two threads the same.

Thank you Veronica, I wasn't sure where to put it. The address is just the Old Town Kakopetria, It is right at the top of the old town, pass the Linos tavern & Hotel the last but one 'house' on the right. It is just called the Argentinian Steak House. The chef, Victor is Argentinian.

I've found a few good places..

1) Voreas (written as Bopeas in Greek) in Oroklini. They do a really good Meze. You will need to book at weekends on in holiday times. They have won awards for their authentic Cypriot cuisine. Personally I prefer Voreas to the Corfu tavern

2) Cafe Aman in Anafotida, no menu as such. Great homecooked Meze and good Kelftiko (Thursday only). Prices are a little unpredictable.... I've never seen a pricelist.

3) The Captain's Table in ZIgi. Great fish restaurant with a super fish Meze... pricey but delicious.

4) The Chicken Shack just near the entrance to the SBA at Ayios Niklaos (Ay Nik). Basic decor but top class food.

5) The is a little shack in Oroklini on the right on the road from the Corfu Tavern just past the entrance to the infant school but before the Grada. They are only open on Friday and Saturday evenings. They do the best kebab I have tasted.

6) The Green Chariot beside the Grand Mosque in Larnaca. Its a little cafe, off the beaten track and looks like a place you would avoid, however the food is freshly cooked and the sheftalia is the best I've eaten. Its a place all the locals go to so you know it must be good!
