Known for Reinvented Cypriot plates.
A modern bistro reworking Cypriot classics with finesse and a smartly chosen local wine list. That reputation is why Local by Christos earned its place among our curated picks for Paphos.
With a 4.6-star average across roughly 900 public reviews, it sits in the top tier of Paphos — places this consistently rated are exactly what this guide exists to surface.
The thing to order: reinvented cypriot plates. A step up in polish from the taverna scene while keeping the island’s produce-first cooking — expect fresh fish, grilled meats and Mediterranean plates done properly.
Local by Christos is in Kato Paphos. Paphos splits in two: Ktima, the upper market town, and Kato Paphos below — the harbour, castle and UNESCO archaeological park, with the hotel strip and old-town lanes in between. Dinner from 7.30–8pm is the sweet spot; in July and August a reservation saves you a wait almost anywhere with a terrace.
