Just found this
http://www.beachcombersbistro.com/
Hopefully it will be a taster of whats to come in a few weeks. No mention of their wonderful coconut fish dish or stroganoff but worth the visit. Just hope puddings are more than just icecream etc.
-
They have a good selection of deserts as well, nice wines and great starters.
The Coconut fish curry was delicious!!
-
Thanks for that Paulene - it will have to keep us going for another 6 weeks yet.
-
They are also open for lunches this summer and have a special lunchtime menu which we had the delight of tasting last Sunday, it was lovely and a relaxing way to spend a Sunday lunchtime, sipping chilled wine overlooking the beach.

Well ice cream was the only choice when we were out there in June - very disappointing for a 'Bistro'!
They also need to improve their welcomes and generally looking after you during a visit there. One evening we walked by (at about 7.30) and the guy was sat near the door without his shirt on - not a nice sight if anyone's walking by thinking of paying it a visit.
-
I merely report what I was told, that they have a lot of frozen stuff there, not fresh!! Those people did not like the place needless to say.
-
we had a lovely meal in there in may but only ice-cream for pud but that might have been early in the season
-
Now if they could get the local Apple and cinnamon pie that would def keep me happy - tried it at a few places (including Olive Press) and absolutely delicious.
-
I am surprised to hear that and will check it out with Sue when we go and pass on the feelings re: dessert!
We had a nice choice last year - they won't keep pace with the Mythica if the menu goes weak!
-
Well we have had the fortune to have the cheesecake for dessert as well as for our mains strongonoff. coconut curry and steak cooked as ordered so far this summer....... of course not forgetting the starters of pate, fresh mussels and a lill'e ole prawn cocktail........
-
The food there was as always superb. Cannot comment on desserts as always too stuffed to even think of them.
-
Yes I remember the Cheesecake as well - wonderful, that's why I found it strange that they only offered ice cream, maybe just a one off - maybe someone there can ask??

It wasn't a one-off, believe me Tony. We went in June and a couple of nights later, a couple we met at Fedra Mare went and there was only ice cream that eve as well.

Will let them know feedback when passing this week.

If judgements have to be passed regarding different taverna. Here goes. So many love 2 Star but we find it so below average, . Mythica we have tried each holiday since it opened but it is so overrated. Paradise is never mentioned but the food and welcome are absolutely brilliant. Beachcomber is always superb and the welcome off Sue (even though we only eat there once a holiday) and attendance after ordering is exceptional. Barras again has a great welcome and we find the food more than adequate. We found people who ate there every night. Sunset rarely gets a mention but we ate there one night and the meals were superb. Spiros and Maria's little one is to die for too ! Zorbas, we have been disappointed with before but this year was brilliant. Please mention "You've been framed" and pay them their share of the £250 LOL. Olympia was as always to us the best meal of all. Smoked salmon and cream cheese not obviously Greek but really tickled the taste buds.
The best overall and chosen for the overall experience had to be the Little Prince. Not so much for the food of which we couldn't complain over either quality or quantity but for the attention received from the owners Mike, Pipina and Dimitri and all the waiting staff before, during and after the meal. They were superb in all areas of customer service.

Food is Personal Taste! We all have different benchmarks & different tastes.
Our opinions of the Restaurants are:
Pizza Houses - both Very good - if Pizza is your thing.
Tasty Corner & Yannis Snacks, - Good snacks and Gyros
Beachcomber and Mythica share No1 spot, Brilliant Chef's!!
Olympia, V/Good almost - but not quite the best in town, good service, Good Meze! We Like the owners!!
Sunset Taverna , underated, very, very good, No.2 for us - above average in 2009.
Romanza - V/Good.
Tereza's - love their BBQ nights
Athina Hotel, only just average.
Aquarios Bar, great snack meals,
Thomas Bay Hotel, very Good these days!
Little Prince, Great ambience & entertainment, sometimes meal quality drops if very busy, variable quality.
Barras, average to good,
Zorba's, some meals brilliant, some were just average, entertaining, can be a long wait when busy.
Condor - Meals - surprisingly good, not the best ambience to eat in. Great Bar,
2 Stars, best value, good honest food, always enjoyed it, good breakfasts and lunches.
Golden Beach Hotel, v/quiet - top class cooking,
Manthos Taverna, v/Good most times, but poor (especially the specials) on Greek Nights!
Olive Press, the Lamb takes some beating, good average when up and running.
Nafsika Hotel - Good meals and service, some entertainment.
Waves Taverna - one of the best fish restaurants around! (on Beach).
Summer Dreams - meals not great! Bar ok,
Elpitha - v/good when open, top quality Bistro.
Yannis Restaurant - average to good
Ossie Oils, great BBQ nights, food V/good.
Paradise, we eat there every year, but - last 2 visits - dissapointed, people and welcome great! Average,
I haven't tried Rose Garden,
Perros Hotel - good.
But hey! Just our opinions as we see it - trying to be picky and not to choose on basis of friendships!
in my opinion all Restaurants were good enough to go back to.
-
and Mistral under new ownership, good greek food cooked by mum and service by daughter and the family, open lunchtimes and evenings.
