Intro
The Olive Tree Taverna is a family-run Peyia restaurant above Coral Bay, serving home-style Cypriot meze, grilled fish, and seasonal specials in a courtyard and sea-view terrace. English and Greek spoken.
Spotlight!
For over a decade we have welcomed locals, holidaymakers, and Akamas day-trippers looking for honest village cooking — not hotel buffet fare. Start with olives, tahini, and village salad; move through halloumi, sheftalia, and catch-of-the-day when the Paphos fish market delivers. Vegetarian meze is always available on request, and we mark plant-based dishes clearly on the menu.
Lunch and dinner service runs in a shaded courtyard under an old olive tree and on a small sea-glimpse terrace when the breeze is kind. Summer evenings fill early; winter brings heaters and a quieter village pace. We host occasional Kopiaste Sundays and seasonal wine evenings — ask Christina for the next date when you book.
Reservations are strongly recommended for Sunday lunch and August weekends. We are not a nightclub, not a delivery-only brand, and not a franchise — one address, one kitchen, overlooking the Peyia coast toward Coral Bay.

FAQ
Do you take reservations?
Yes — call or WhatsApp, especially for Sunday lunch and festival evenings. Walk-ins are welcome on quieter weekdays.
Is there vegetarian food?
Yes — a full vegetarian meze set and clearly marked dishes on the à la carte menu.
Is the taverna family-friendly?
Yes — high chairs, an earlier kitchen turn for children, and a courtyard that suits families.
How far from Coral Bay beach?
About five minutes by car; some guests walk the coastal path in cooler months.
Do you host private or seasonal evenings?
Yes — Kopiaste Sundays and occasional wine evenings. Ask when booking; group menus available for larger tables.
Do you serve alcohol?
Local wine and beer with meals. We are a restaurant, not a late-night bar.
Is there parking?
Limited street parking around the village centre; arrive a little early in summer. We can advise safer spots when you reserve.
What are your opening hours?
Tuesday–Sunday 12:00–23:00. Monday closed for a kitchen break.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us when booking — we cook from scratch and can usually adapt meze components. Severe nut or gluten cases: call ahead so the chef can plan.
Do you take cards and WhatsApp bookings?
Yes — credit cards at the till; WhatsApp is the fastest way to hold a table for the same evening.
