Hi Zimmer,

Very interesting read although I have to disagree with your overall summary.

You can find restaurants like Mythica and Ozzy Oils anywhere, particularly Mythica which we found pretentious and dull, it was like eating in a Library

Surely we go to Greece to experience 'Greek' Tavernas rather than places that are trying to copy (usually unsuccessfully) trendy British establishments.

Scala in Kefallonia has been taken over by places like the Mythica most with names more suited to a 1980's New Romantic pop group! I and many others do not want to see this trend develop in SS but in the long run restaurant owners will give people what they want so we will see.

Our favourite Taverna was the Little Prince and yes it has many return customers but doesnt that tell us something?

Andy

Zimmer:
Reasonable point Andy - the way I see it is that people are now very well acquainted with Mousakka and Kleftiko, it's become standard fare, the Greek equivelent of bangers and mash , which lots of people in the UK eat in pubs up and down the country but which they arent passionate about.
Where was the Horta salad? Fasolakia, Bianco and Corfu's most famous dish, Bourtheto? this is not being pretentious it's being true to your heritage rather than merely serving up the expected, if you want authentic Greek food it seems you need toi get out to the less commercialised places like Kamani,AG Stef NE,at least those places like Mythica are giving the new a bash rather than staying in the tourist comfort zone

zoe:
it goes to prove we all like different thing and look at san stef in different ways life would be boring if we all thought the same also if we all liked the same place we would never get in
