Daphne Restaurant

Daphne Restaurant is a family-run Greek Cypriot restaurant in London, established in November 1984 and continuing under the management of the Lymbouri family. Located on Bayham Street, the restaurant combines Greek and Cypriot culinary traditions with a warm Mediterranean atmosphere and decades of family hospitality.

The restaurant takes its name from Daphne of Greek mythology, the daughter of the river god Peneius. This connection with Greek heritage is complemented by an interior that reflects the family's Cypriot roots, with photographs depicting life in Cyprus during the late 19th century.

The dining room is designed to be smart yet comfortable and cosy, creating a relaxed setting for meals with family, friends or companions. Its Mediterranean character and historical photographs contribute to an atmosphere that connects the dining experience with the culture and heritage of Cyprus.

Daphne is fully licensed and complements its food with a varied wine list. The selection spans wines from Greece and Cyprus alongside labels from France and the New World, providing options to accompany its grilled dishes, seafood and other specialties.

With a history dating back to 1984, the Lymbouri family's continued involvement, charcoal-grilled cuisine, fresh fish and a strong connection to Cyprus, Daphne Restaurant offers an established Greek Cypriot dining experience in London.
