Laona Restaurant

A real taste of Cyprus with many choices. The lamb, rice, salad, meatballs and potatoes were delicious. A comfortable atmosphere with friendly people. Service was outstanding.

This long standing traditional taverna in old town Paphos is fabulous. Whether you are going in the afternoon to sit under the trees on the alley or if you prefer to sit inside this beautiful traditional taverna in the evening, the atmosphere is like being in a family home. This is the best traditional Cypriot food I have experienced in my 30 years of holidaying in Paphos. The staff and owner will treat you like you are part of the family and will go above and beyond. You must try the Gemista, it is delicious. I would highly recommend for a taste of local culture.

We really enjoyed our lunchtime visit to this restaurant. The staff were very accommodating for us and our baby (eg cleared a table inside for us to change baby on, as there isn’t a baby changing area). The menu was explained to us, £17 for a dish and a salad. The fact that there isn’t a hugely extensive menu, means that everything js freshly made that day. The food came very quickly and it was very tasty! It was a shame there didn’t have a mezze option at lunchtime, but other than that jt was great. The free little dessert was also a great bonus. Great value, good food, definitely recommended.

This is the best restaurant we ate at while in Pafos! We took 5 plates and the salad and everything was just delicious. The lamb was delicious and the moussaka was the best we ever had. The house red wine was great and the menu had lots of great options! Highly recommend and a must restaurant to visit while in old town. We didn’t make any reservations and just walked past and saw it was packed, luckily a couple just left so we got a table right away.

Delicious authentic food in a restaurant with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The dishes all sounded so good it was difficult to decide what to eat but ended up eating the beef stifado and stuffed vegetables. Absolutely delicious and fantastic value I'd highly recommend eating here.

This was our favourite meal of the holiday! We went for the Mezze options, for €22, and got 5 starters and a choice of 5 mains. All of them were delicious, and high quality. Also generous portion sizes, we were stuffed at the end.

Walking past and looked lovely so got the last table available. I had lambs livers very,very good, wife had mousaka which was ‘one of the nicest I’ve had’. Fully recommended It was soo good we went back with the family. We made sure we booked this time which was a good job as lots of people being turned away as all seats taken. Food again was amazing. Between the six of us we tried a lot of dishes and not one could be faulted

Really friendly staff. The chef explained each dish and they all sounded great! The moussaka was amazing! Lovely salad and bread and a free dessert too!! The other tables were full of repeat customers, so clearly it's consistently great!
