Why Visit Pafos?
The reasons are concrete. Pafos puts a Greek theme into two floors, a ground floor with white walls in the manner of Lindos on Rhodes and an upper floor with high ceilings that recalls a Greek villa and Olympus, according to the restaurant’s site.
The menu is described as a geography of Greek eras, from antiquity to today, built on Greek ingredients, oils and spices, and the bar’s cocktail list is arranged around the gods of the Greek pantheon, from Zeus to Prometheus. It is across the boulevard from Cafe Pushkin and Turandot, and it opens at 11:00. Prices vary between sources, so check the menu.
Highlights of Pafos
The Rhodes-style ground floor
The lower floor recalls the coast of Rhodes with the white walls of the town of Lindos, according to the restaurant's site. A guide describes a bar counter and a brasserie in light colors on the first floor, with natural materials, patterned tile and sculptures as decor. The details may have changed.
Tip: Choose the ground floor for a lighter, brasserie-style meal.
The Olympus floor
The second floor takes guests to the atmosphere of royal Olympus, with high ceilings and harmonious decor that refers to Greek villas, according to the restaurant's site. An older review noted that the upper restaurant was not yet working at the opening, so confirm that it is open.
Tip: Ask which floor your table is on when you book.
A menu through Greek history
The menu is described as a geography of different eras of Greece, from antiquity to the present, with Greek ingredients, oils, spices and authentic recipes adapted by the brand chefs. The dishes change, so none were itemized. Check the current menu on the official site.
Tip: Ask the waiter to recommend a Greek dish you do not know.
The cocktails of the gods
The cocktail list gathers the main heroes of the Greek pantheon, from Zeus to Prometheus, according to the restaurant's site. A guide says the Aphrodite cocktail arrives in the head of the goddess. The list may have changed, so ask the bar.
Tip: Order a themed cocktail as an aperitif.
Brasserie and restaurant in one
The Alba Group describes two projects on two floors at once, a brasserie and a large Greek restaurant, with the leisurely pace of island life and a holiday mood. It suits both a light meal and a longer dinner, depending on the floor.
Tip: Choose the brasserie for a quick meal.
The corner of Sytinsky Lane
The restaurant stands at the corner of Sytinsky Lane and Bolshaya Bronnaya Street, though its official address is on Tverskoy Boulevard, according to an older review. Cafe Pushkin and Turandot, which have their own articles on this site, are across the boulevard.
Tip: Look for the entrance on the boulevard side.
What to Order
- A Greek dish from the menu of historic eras, which the restaurant describes

How we research and update our guides
About this guide: AI assistance and accuracy
This guide is created with the help of AI and is based on official sources where available. Mistakes can still happen. Opening hours, prices, rules and other details are given to the best of our knowledge as of the date shown and can change without notice. It offers general recommendations only, not professional, legal or travel advice. Please confirm important details with the official source before you travel; you are responsible for your own plans and decisions.
International sanctions affect payments between Russia and many other countries. In practice, cards issued in the EU, the UK, the US and several other countries often do not work in Russia, Russian cards usually do not work abroad, and some booking platforms, airlines and payment providers limit or suspend their services for Russia. The situation changes frequently. We do not give legal or financial advice, and this site does not encourage anyone to break or circumvent sanctions. Whatever you plan, you are responsible for following the laws and regulations that apply to you, including those of your country of residence and citizenship. Many travelers still organise their stay lawfully. It is worth asking your bank or payment provider what is currently permitted, contacting hotels, tour operators and carriers directly about the payment methods they accept, and checking which services are open to customers from your country. Clarify payment, cancellation and refund terms before you commit to a booking, and keep your plans flexible. Partner links on this site may not be available in every country, and prices, availability and rules in our guides can differ from what you see when you book.Paying for your trip: please read
