Genesis Bistro in Paphos, Paphos, Cyprus | Restaurant

TEL: 26945327 or 96716838

Genesis Bistro is an attractive, friendly, Med-feel, Bistro located in the heart of Kato Paphos.
We offer the opportunity to sample a combination of Bistro meals in a relaxed atmosphere. Completely renovated we offer an indoor dining area, separate undercover enclosed verandah, front relaxing terrace and outdoor wine garden to the rear for the balmy summer days.
Genesis has recently been totally refurbished inside and out and reopens before Easter under new ownership. The new owners have a combined experience in England and Cyprus, with our chef training in Cyprus and working at several top hotels here including the Amathus Beach & Le Meridien in Limassol. Our Director has been the driving force of several UK enterprises and has been cooking for 25 years.
Inside Genesis, the many windows allow plenty of light into the dining area which is comfortably designed with a range of soft contemporary chairs, in the shaded verandah our med feel extends to the more traditional Cyprus chairs with sumptuous sofas on the front terrace and Bistro marble tables and chairs in the Vine Garden.
The continuity of quality extends to the food and drink. During the day we offer a choice of snacks and lite bites with lunch & afternoon tea from 12 noon till 3.30pm. Dinner is served from 7pm.
Speciality Segafredo beverages and local coffees and teas, home made fruit smoothies, frappes and alcoholic beverages are available all day as well as a selection of cakes, pastries. Real Traditional Devon Cream Teas served with our home made scones and Devon clotted cream are also served daily.
Our convenient location just minutes from the seafront, Universal area and the harbour makes Genesis an ideal place to stop for lunch or afternoon tea.
In summer and fine weather, there are shaded tables outside where diners can relax and enjoy the warmth of the service and the quality of food.
As we re-open the Bistro doors, following renovation, we have extended on the service and quality established by our friend and previous owner Jack. We have redefined the Genesis concept to one of relaxation, rusticity and quality - which we have found has huge appeal.
Our aim is to serve quality foods from locally sourced produce and ingredients, prepared freshly and carefully by us. This means that if you simply pop in for a cappuccino and a scone, we offer you the best real Italian cappuccinos in the area (no mean feat given the amount of coffee shops around Paphos) as well as a delicious homemade scone prepared for you by our chefs.
In the evening, the atmosphere of Genesis changes as the lights are dimmed and evening dining replaces the daytime menu.
A choice of succulent steaks, pasta and other delicious food is available, ranging from these highly recommended Steaks to a succulent bowl of freshly prepared pasta or even one of our specials of the day which include our own Genesis slowly braised oxtail in a red wine gravy.
Our emphasis at all times is quality food, freshly prepared, served in a relaxed unhurried welcoming atmosphere, where our combination of music & chill-out tunes, are played at a comfortable sound level so as to enhance your evening.
Our aim is to support local suppliers and producers where possible and that extends to our wines too. As well as our international guest wines our list encourages you to make the most of our superb quality local offerings with wonderful wines grown in the very foothills of the Paphos, these wines together with our menu reflects not just the place where the food and wines come from, but also the spirit of the land and its people. We believe that this is how good food and wine is meant to be enjoyed ? in a casual and friendly, non stuffy atmosphere, with good food and friends.
