Ariadne Tavern — Restaurant in Vasa Koilaniou

A True Cypriot Gem – Perfect in Every Way!

Ariadne Tavern is everything you’d hope for in a classic Cypriot taverna. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality, and it was clear that this is a beloved spot for both locals and visitors.

We had the regular meze, and it was simply outstanding. Every dish was bursting with authentic flavors, and the portions were so generous that even we—who love big portions—were completely satisfied! The selection was fantastic, offering a perfect mix of traditional Cypriot specialties, all cooked to perfection.

The atmosphere was lively and authentic, with many locals enjoying their weekend, which speaks volumes about the quality of this place. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home.

Ariadne Tavern truly delivers an unforgettable food experience. We will...

Went with friends and fay. Ordered meze. Food took too long to come out, was not in order so we got starters after meat, food was oily and not cooked well at all and quantity much less than other tavernas. Salad was mostly cabbage. Service was also really bad and slow. Owner apologised at the end saying it was busy but it was only half full and we had pre-booked. Don't bother going. You'll regret it. I'm guessing other reviews were from tourists or locals from the village because no way in hell this place should have the 4...

Lovely tavern with authentic Cyprus cuisine. I highly recommend the Kleftiko(slowly cooked lamb shank), Koupepia(stuffed vine leaves), hand cut French Fries, Keftedes(meatballs) and Bourekia(pastry made with a thin flaky phyllo and filled with anari) all were among the best I ever had in Cyprus. Prices are reasonable(Meze is €18 per Person, bottle of wine between 10 to 15€. So if you are ever on a trip in the mountains you need to pass by and truly enjoy Cypriot hospitality...
