Isaac Fish Tavern — Restaurant in Ayia Napa

About starters - We took an Isaac's platter, the hummus was breath-taking, and a steal for the price. We asked for extra pitta because it wasn't enough for 5 people, and the pricing was relatively low.

About main dishes - Grilled octupus, not gummy, perfectly cooked, very big portion and for the price it's a steal. Greek salad, was missing a bit of more feta, and quite a lot of onions, but big portion. Chicken souvlaki, extremely delicious, perfectly soft and a lot of it. The salad near was greatly paired with the meat. Sea brass, no words on how delicious it was, perfectly soft and just melts in your mouth. Prawns passion, delicious shrimp, big, the sauce was a bit too much, but its a presonal preference. After eating them, a bowl with lemon and water was brought to us and that was a pleasant surprise.

About staff - Very helpful and kind staff, kept checking up on us on how the food was, if we needed anything, after eating we got wipes for hands which was very pleasant and made the experience more enjoyable. While proceeding with the check, wasn't pressured at all to leave a tip (which was written on the other review that the staff put a forced tip, so just made sure that is false) At the end we got fresh watermelon on the house

About pricing - We were 5 people, it was around 25€ per person including an appetizer/starter.

About the atmosphere- Most of tables are facing the beach. Very clean environment. There was a few cats but they weren't a bother at all.

Overall I recommend this place if you enjoy big portions and...

I can’t have words for this place. Perfect for fish and seafood. We had it as recommendation from another restaurant as a fish tavern and we were looking for tuna steak. We were well impressed and appreciated the honesty there. We didn’t sat but the gentleman at Isaac Tavern explained to us that it’s just the beginning of tuna season and we will not really find a fresh tuna. Judging by the approach and his honesty we decided to stay&eat even with no tuna steak. Best decision ever. As food lovers we don’t go to same restaurants in our trips/holidays, as we want to have a taste of locals wherever we are going. Well, this place made us come back. I would highly recommend it. 1st night we had white bait as starter, swordfish and calamari as main. Absolutely gorgeous. House white wine was so drinkable plus a little of zivania. Two nights forward we went again. Same white bait as starter as I love them, of course the same white wine, because it was delicious, zivania and for main we had grilled octopus and Isaac platter for one. That platter is huge and faultless. Delicious. Octopus was spot on too. And the fresh complementary watermelon :)))))). I have no words to describe how much we enjoyed and loved this place. Amazing food, great location in the harbour, superb friendly stuff with so much good information and recommendations. Loved it. When in Ayia Napa it’s a Must. Thank you Isaac Tavern - I will be back for a...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤍💙 I had the pleasure of dining at Isaac Fish Tavern, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was incredibly fresh, with a delicious selection of seafood that captures the authentic flavors of Cyprus. Each dish was perfectly seasoned, and the portions were generous—definitely worth every euro!

What made this place truly special was the owner, Koulla. She’s such a warm, sweet presence, always making sure her guests feel at home. Her warm and fuzzy personality is like a breath of fresh air, adding a personal touch to an already amazing dining experience. You can tell that Koulla and her team genuinely care about their customers, which makes all the difference.

One of the highlights of my visit was the live music and traditional dancing on the weekend. The lively atmosphere and authentic performances made it so much fun—I found myself completely immersed in the experience!

The location, right by the waterfront, adds to the charm. Enjoying a meal with a view of the sea made the experience even more memorable. I would highly recommend Isaac Fish Tavern to anyone visiting Ayia Napa. It’s a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Cypriot hospitality, great food, and an unforgettable...
