Kingfisher in Paphos earns top distinction at Golden Toques Cyprus awards
Kingfisher, a small family-run restaurant in Paphos led by chef-owner Lefteris Saparillas, has been ranked among Cyprus’s top restaurants and received the Top Notch distinction at the prestigious Golden Toques Cyprus gastronomic awards. The restaurant specializes in seafood from Cyprus and the eastern Mediterranean, with a menu featuring innovative dishes such as shrimp tartare, handmade tagliatelle with aged grouper, and cured seafood products developed through advanced fish-aging techniques.
Saparillas draws on his background as a professional diver and his family's maritime heritage to source rare species and quality ingredients, ensuring consistency and experimentation in his culinary offerings. The sea's presence is a strong theme throughout Kingfisher's space, reflected in its decor and ingredient selection.
While awards motivate the team, Saparillas emphasizes the importance of customer satisfaction, noting steady repeat visits from local and international diners who often compare Kingfisher to renowned restaurants abroad. The restaurant is located at 2 Epaminonda Street, Paphos.
