+35725221275

Mon Closed; Tue 17:30–22:00; Wed 17:30–22:00; Thu 17:30–22:00; Fri 17:30–22:00; Sat 17:30–22:00; Sun 12:00–15:30

The Bunch of Grapes is an inn on Ioanni Erotokritou in the old village of Pissouri, up on the Cape Aspro ridge about three kilometres inland from the bay. Its website has been taken down — the page that remains says it will come back — so what follows is what can be checked, and nothing about the kitchen, which we have no source for. The opening pattern is the informative part. It is closed on Monday. From Tuesday to Saturday it opens only in the evening, from half past five to ten. And on Sunday it opens only at midday, from twelve to half past three, and not at all in the evening. A Sunday-lunch-only house that shuts on Monday is a particular institution, and in a Cypriot hill village with a long-settled British population it is a recognisable one. The practical consequence: if you want to eat here on a Sunday evening or a Monday, you cannot, and a Sunday table is the one worth booking ahead. Enquiries and reservations go by telephone or by e-mail; both are given on what is left of the site. The old village is the half of Pissouri with the square, the church and the tavernas; the bay lies below it, down a winding road. You will find The Bunch of Grapes at Ioanni Erotokritou 9, 4607 Pissouri.

Ampelonon 73, 4607 Pissouri

+35725222211

Mon 12:00–15:30, 18:00–21:00; Tue 12:00–15:30, 18:00–21:00; Wed 12:00–15:30, 18:00–21:00; Thu Closed; Fri 12:00–15:30, 18:00–21:00; Sat 12:00–15:30, 18:00–21:00; Sun 12:00–15:30, 18:00–21:00

Kastro is on Ampelonon, the vineyard road that runs down from Pissouri village to the bay. The house keeps no website of its own beyond a Facebook page, so nothing is written here about the kitchen. What the hours show is a restaurant run the traditional way, in two sittings rather than straight through: midday to half past three, then a break, then six to nine in the evening. That is the Cypriot pattern and it means the afternoon is genuinely closed — arriving at half past four will find the door shut, which catches out visitors used to all-day service on the resort strips. It is closed on Thursday. Every other day of the week runs the same two sittings, including Sunday. The evening service ends at nine, which is early for the eastern Mediterranean and early for Cyprus in particular. A table at half past seven is a safer plan than one at half past eight. Pissouri is split between the old village on the Cape Aspro ridge and Pissouri Bay below, a crescent of sand and pebble under white cliffs that holds a Blue Flag for water quality. Ampelonon connects the two, so this address is on the way between them — walkable downhill from the village and a stiff climb back, which is why most people drive it. Parking on the road is free and easy outside July and August. You will find Kastro at Ampelonon 73, 4607 Pissouri.

Ampelonon 57 D, 4607 Pissouri

+35799238305

Mon Closed; Tue 09:00–17:00; Wed 09:00–17:00; Thu 09:00–17:00; Fri 09:00–17:00; Sat 09:00–17:00; Sun 09:00–17:00

Pissouri Bay Cafe sits at number 57 D on Ampelonon, the road that runs down through the vineyards from the village to the bay. It keeps a Facebook page and no website, so nothing here describes what comes out of the kitchen. The hours describe a daytime café and nothing else: nine in the morning to five in the afternoon, Tuesday to Sunday, closed on Monday. There is no evening service at all. That is unusual enough on this coast to be the single most useful thing to know about the place — it is breakfast, a coffee, and lunch, and anyone walking down for supper will find it shut. Those hours also fit the bay rather than the village. Pissouri Bay is a crescent of sand and pebble under white cliffs, with a Blue Flag for water quality, a beach bar and water sports in summer; a café that opens at nine and closes at five is open for exactly as long as people are on the beach. The number given is a mobile. Pissouri lies midway between Limassol and Paphos on the south-west coast of Cyprus, and a car is genuinely useful here — the village, the bay and the sights around them are spread out and the buses are few. You will find Pissouri Bay Cafe at Ampelonon 57 D, 4607 Pissouri.

28is Oktovriou 3, 4607 Pissouri

Steak House by Michael is in Pissouri village, up the hill from the bay, and since it opened in June 2017 it has been the place people drive to for a proper steak: prime cuts including USDA beef, cooked to order on the grill with a choice of sauces, and a wine list that goes well beyond the usual village selection. There is seafood, pasta and a few vegetarian plates for those who do not want meat, and the vegetables and herbs come from the family's own garden. Michael runs the room himself and the kitchen is in the hands of a trained chef; the place was renovated recently and is a step up from the tavernas without being stiff. The outside bar opens at lunchtime for a drink or a lighter plate; dinner is in the evening, Monday to Saturday. Booking is wise at the weekend.

Makedonias, 4607 Pissouri

+35799715716

Mon Closed; Tue 11:00–22:00; Wed 11:00–22:00; Thu 11:00–22:00; Fri 11:00–22:00; Sat 10:00–22:00; Sun 10:00–22:00

Panorama Lounge stands on Makedonias in Pissouri. It keeps a Facebook page rather than a website, so nothing is written here about what it serves — but its name is a claim about the view, and in this village that claim is easy to test. Pissouri sits on the ridge of Cape Aspro, the white cape, and the land drops away from the village to a bay several hundred feet below. Anywhere in the upper village facing south looks out over the whole of that: the cliffs, the crescent of beach, and the sea running west towards Paphos. It is the reason people build here. The hours run long and start early. Tuesday to Friday it opens at eleven in the morning and closes at ten at night; on Saturday and Sunday it opens an hour earlier, at ten. There is no break between lunch and dinner. It is closed on Monday. A weekend that starts at ten and a week that starts at eleven describe a room used for coffee and a long afternoon as much as for dinner — which for a lounge with a view is the point. The telephone number is a mobile, which is usual for a small house here. Pissouri lies midway between Limassol and Paphos, and the two are each about forty minutes away by car — which makes the village a base rather than a stop, and explains why a room that opens at ten in the morning finds people in it. You will find Panorama Lounge on Makedonias, 4607 Pissouri.

Ampelonon, 4607 Pissouri

+35725221053

Mon 13:00–22:00; Tue 13:00–22:00; Wed 13:00–22:00; Thu 13:00–22:00; Fri 13:00–22:00; Sat 13:00–22:00; Sun 13:00–22:00

The Vineleaf Tavern stands on Ampelonon in Pissouri. The street name is worth translating: ampelonon is Greek for of the vineyards, and it is the road that runs down from the village towards Pissouri Bay through the vines. The valley here is farming country — table grapes, almonds, carob — and the road is named after what grows beside it. The house keeps no website, so nothing is set down here about its cooking. What can be said is the shape of its day: it opens at one in the afternoon and closes at ten at night, every day of the week, with no closing day and no break in between. That single unbroken afternoon-and-evening service is the ordinary pattern of a Cypriot village taverna, and it makes the place useful at the hours when a kitchen working two sittings would be shut — four in the afternoon, for instance, coming up from the beach. It calls itself a tavern rather than a restaurant, which in Cyprus points at meze and grilled food rather than at a written menu, though we can point at no source for what is actually served. The telephone is the way to ask. Pissouri lies on the south-west coast between Limassol and Paphos. You will find The Vineleaf Tavern on Ampelonon, 4607 Pissouri.
