Militzis Tavern
Μιλίτζης
A traditional tavern on Larnaca's seafront, run for decades, known for its clay-oven lamb kleftiko and ofto.
Located at 42 Piale Pasha seafront road, a few steps from the sea, the tavern is decorated like a rustic village inn, with an old-fashioned, lively atmosphere and many longtime local regulars. Its signature is clay-oven slow-roasted lamb kleftiko and Lysiotiko-style ofto. Other offerings include kefalaki (lamb head), kokoretsi (grilled offal sausage), roast pork, homemade halloumi and sheep's milk yogurt served in clay pots. You can order a meze platter to sample many dishes at once. Parking nearby is limited. Some reviews say the tavern has become more commercial and is not as good as it used to be. Prices are about 20–30 EUR per person, and booking is advisable on weekend evenings.
