Stenó Mezedopoleío – Ouzerí: Ultimate Taste Escape!

Exclusive Interview with the Owner

Wandering through the narrow streets of Paphos Old Town, one place truly stood out to us — not just for its food, but for its authenticity, passion, and character. We’re talking about Stenó Mezedopoleío, a cozy ouzeri full of delicious meze, traditional music, and that famous Greek-Cypriot hospitality.

Our team had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Mr. Evkleidis Ambrosiadis, who shared with us the story, love, and philosophy behind this special place.

“Stenó isn’t just a meze restaurant,” he told us. “It’s like walking into someone’s home where the table is already set and waiting for you.”

 

“We wanted to create a space where you feel relaxed and at home, while also enjoying real, honest flavors from Cyprus and Greece.”

 

“Every dish we serve has a story. These aren’t just recipes — they’re memories. They’re the scents of childhood summers, food made with heart and care. From the spicy bougiourdi to the juicy souvlaki and the refreshing salad — everything has something to say.”

 

“Our greatest joy is seeing people laugh, sing, raise a glass and say ‘Yiamas!’ (Cheers!). If you leave Stenó with a full belly and a full heart, we’ve done our job right.”

 

“We always end the meal with a little something — a sweet, a fruit, something that feels like a mother’s touch. That’s what true hospitality is: making sure you leave with a smile.”

A huge thank you to Mr. Ambrosiadis for his time and warmth. Stenó Mezedopoleío is truly a place full of authentic flavors and genuine hospitality. If you find yourself in Paphos, this spot is an absolute must-visit!
