One of the best restaurants in Cyprus. We just dropped in there and was surprised but the amazing food and service!
google
THE best place I’ve ever eaten at. Service was exceptional, food was divine and the mango daiquiri was delicious. So friendly and welcoming so much thought and effort put into each dish from taste to presentation. Will definitely recommend to anyone who travels to Cyprus and this place will definitely be on my mind until I visit again. Xxxx

This restaurant is lovely. The service was out of this world. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was great. Went with my husband while on our 10th wedding anniversary and we had sushi 🍣 and a lovely bottle od white wine and the afters were to die for.

The Folio has changed significantly. Both the service and food fell short of our expectations. I do not recommend it!

Dear all,

Good afternoon.

Thank you for your prompt response.

We ordered sushi as a starter, and for main courses, we ordered chicken, pork chop, and USDA Sirloin Steak. Unfortunately, the chicken was undercooked. While the pork chop was acceptable, the USDA Sirloin Steak did not meet our expectations, especially considering its price. Also, we returned the chicken, but when it was served again, it was in even worse condition than before.
google
I can say is the best restaurant in Protaras! Steak 10/10 and the home made galatobureko (traditional cream pastry) is worth every money! I would go again there only for the fresh hot from the oven pastry😊I really recommend it
google
A nice place to eat. It is very crowded in season, so it is better to reserve something especially with more than 2 people.

Everything was very delicious especially the beef.

The first full day of exploring the area, ending with a delicious dinner at Restaurant Folio. An extra carrot some bread with butter and herb butter was served in advance. Pleasantly surprised by the taste of the soup. As a starter we ordered tortilla with duck, tuna tartare and garlic bread with cheese. As a main course, Han had the lamb rack and as is well known, the eye is bigger than the stomach. I 600 grams of Chateau Briand from the grill. This was presented in a case and cut at the table. Unfortunately, except for a small piece, we were unable to eat the entire colossus. But a very successful dinner.

This is the first time I've seen something like this
The waiters served one table at the same time, one brings plates, another menu, another food, another asks how things are, another brings the bill. There is a lot of attention around clients. We dined with a family with two children. The menu is suitable for both adults and children. Everything was very tasty. both we and the children liked it very much. I recommend this place. probably the best place we have been to in Cyprus. I didn’t have time to photograph everything, but I’ll add what impressed me here. If you want, try it yourself 🙂

We celebrated a birthday with 8 people and everyone was very happy. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent and the atmosphere was very nice. We would say price performance fits. Would go back at any time. Highly recommended.

I celebrated my birthday there and I have to say it was a fantastic evening at Folio, from our table to the ambience to the greeting from the kitchen and the service, everything was great but the star of the evening was of course the food, there were 8 of us From the starter to the main course, everyone had something different and EVERYTHING was sensationally delicious, and as a birthday surprise there were also various dessert variations at the house's expense, which were also very delicious. Particularly noteworthy, of course, is the great staff who worked hard and were crazy was friendly and really quick.
In short, it was a great fantastic evening, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOLIO

Absolutely delectable food. The restaurant is very cozy and offers many exclusive dishes, more on the pricy side but it was SO worth it! The service was absolutely marvellous, each waiter was nice and polite. Our food and drinks were served in the speed of light!

Nice atmosphere, friendly stuff, tasty food, normal prices, good cocktails!

Great atmosphere perfect service but food was basic
google
The staff was amazing and incredibly friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The vibe of the place was fantastic, adding to the overall experience. However, the food didn't quite meet my expectations. The sushi stood out as the highlight, easily the best dish we tried. The spicy crab salad was enjoyable, and the chicken was perfectly juicy. Unfortunately, the Cockerel was overcooked, and the side dishes were disappointing, with too many unnecessary elements cluttering the plate, in my opinion.
