Interview with Mr. Andreas Theocharous

Owner of Kissos Tavern in Limassol

The Cyprus Alive team spoke with Mr. Andreas Theocharous, the owner of Kissos Tavern in the tourist area of Agios Tychonas, to learn more about the history and philosophy of this beloved tavern that has captured the hearts of both locals and tourists.

"Kissos Tavern started in 1984 as a family café. However, due to the love and support of the community, we quickly transformed into a restaurant, and by 1988, we established ourselves as a tavern. Since then, we have remained true to authentic Cypriot cuisine and fresh fish, which we continue to offer to this day."

"Our tavern is located in the tourist area of Agios Tychonas in Limassol, a very lively and popular area, perfect for enjoying a good meal."

"What makes our tavern unique is the special atmosphere. We have a beautiful courtyard with climbing plants and tall ficus trees, creating a fairytale-like setting. The aquarium and our parrot, Charlie, add even more character and make our visitors feel right at home."

"Our menu is a celebration of authentic Cypriot flavours. Our fresh fish and seafood, such as grilled bass, shrimp, squid, and lobster, are of the highest quality and truly melt in your mouth. Additionally, our traditional dishes like moussaka, sheftalia, and kleftiko are beloved by both locals and tourists."

"For someone visiting for the first time, I would recommend trying the Cypriot meze or the fish meze. It’s the perfect choice to sample a variety of flavours that we offer."

"The secret to our success is simple: quality, hospitality, and respect for our customers. We always use fresh ingredients and pay special attention to detail. Our warm hospitality and generous portions make visitors want to return again and again."

Thank you very much for your time, Mr. Andreas. We wish you all the best, and we are sure that everyone will be very satisfied with your philosophy, food, and service.
