It's great in the blazing sun under the canopies with a pint of chilled Keo in the daytime, but at sundown it takes on a different perspective. The restaurant area outdoors is set on a cliff top with a panoramic view across Paphos and out into the Mediterranean. ![]() There's a steep set of steps up to the bar but this 45-year-old bloke negotiated them in the midday sun! A taxi ride from the sea front of about eight Euros to Muse is well worth the outlay. It's not that easy to reach without oxygen and a Sherpa guide if you're on foot heading up to its town centre setting from the harbour area in early August. It would get a 5 rating from me.This is a terrific bar and restaurant, by far the best we experienced in Paphos. This place is a must for a visit if it wasn't for the food temp. My personal choice.would like the plates to have covers over the too. Might be something to do with carrying it all the way from the kitchen to outside I guess. If I had one negative the past 2 times I have eaten here the food was only just warm enough to eat and I would like it hotter. They do have inside eating area which is also nice. It's a very busy place with locals so for summer certainly for an evening meal I would suggest booking or get there real early like 5.30-6. The new menu is better than previous there is a nice choice but again a lot of the dishes have cheese in so for me I am limited. Have eaten here for lunch to and it was equally as good. Sitting outside you can soak up the atmosphere.this is what being on holiday is all about if you want to enjoy a relaxing evening and great atmosphere. There was plenty of food and it was presented excellent. Starters were village salad, mushroom and chicken caesar salad. The salmon was not only large but also thick. Food portions are excellent, we ordered 2 salmon dishes. The service is good with staff dress clean and smart. Have visited here many times and have never been disappointed. For a stylish and chic break, Muse is great. Follow this winding street for 150m and Muse is at the end. At the bottom of this short, straight, road, there is a roundabout at which you should take the third exit onto a small street. At these lights, turn right towards the airport and, in just 75m or so, turn right again to come down one of the roads that form the one way system past the Municipal Building. In the centre of Paphos Old Town, the road would crank left then right to continue to Polis Viejo is on this corner and the first set of traffic lights here is marked 'Polis' to the left and 'Airport' to the right. Although not on a main road, finding Muse isn't too bad once you know how! From Kato Paphos, take the road north towards Polis. This isn't fine dining as there are no real 'evening dining' dishes on the menu but lunch or brunch will be a special event here. ![]() Burgers are quite exceptional and other dishes are all of the highest quality imaginable. A 'Fruit Sharing Platter' is a giant masterpiece of artistry that it seems almost a shame to destroy by eating. At first glance, the menu seems to be expensive and, indeed, by Cyprus standards, it is. This is a place to divide your time between looking at the view and watching the other guests. The waiting staff are fairly efficient even if most of them seem to have been chosen for their 'Vogue' looks rather than their warmth and charm. Lots of low settees and comfy seating too. It's a bar, a café and a restaurant and has both outside and inside tables. Everything is modern, scrupulously clean and, yet again, stylish. The place itself sits perched on a plateau above central Paphos and affords stunning views over the town. How posh? Well, look at the cars in the car park (our Honda squeezed in between a Hummer and a Maserati). It's the place where every other table is occupied by a pair of beautiful people languishing in the Cyprus sun but who wouldn't dream of doing anything so crass as getting a tan. This place is hard to find as it's not on the beaten track and so it shouldn't be a surprise to find that it's full of the wealthy set of Paphos who want to see and be seen. However, Muse really is the essence of 'class' and so is not at all pretentious it's the real thing. This place is quite unusual, for me, as I see lots of places that try to be 'classy' but end up just being pretentious and I loath pretention. Having read the reviews on Tripadvisor, we tried Muse for the first time this year and I must agree with the positive comments of other reviewers. ![]()
