The Chinese! !!!!

[tonyco1]

My biggest problem with any restaurant - especially this particular Chinese one was the lack of custom.
I have always been wary of a restaurant that's always empty - - as I wonder how fresh the meat or fish is!

I also try to avoid "Specials", as it usually means they need to off-load that dish quickly,
I realise there are exceptions to this as some do regular specials on different days of the week.

Busy restaurants that get locals in - - that's a great sign......

Will this restaurant be re-opening under new management in 2014, does anybody know?

[hippopots]

At the moment nothing appears to be happening at the chinese, so I would guess it may not be re-opening this year. That said, things happen very quickly here, so I could be wrong!

We only had chance to eat there once when we visited last year and the only reason we went there was because we were over there for 2 weeks so still had plenty of time to visit our favorite Tavernas but the food was delicious and it is such a shame that they may have walked away from this due to the lack of business and left debts to the locals. The only complaint we had whilst eating there was that the bar next door had some cheesy tribute act on and was extremely loud ruining the dining experience a little.

When in Rome and all that - I prefer to eat the food of the country that I am in . There are plent of Chinese eateries in England but where I live no Greek ones , so I enjoy the experience of eating the local food .

Tend to agree Ioanna , but a little variety may be nice , especially over two weeks ? As good as they are , many restaurants have very similar menus - variations of a theme so to speak. I wonder if we had the option to invest in a non Greek eatery in San Stef what would we consider the least risky option? Indian cuisine? Little Bistro? Spanish tapas  ?  For me a little Fish and chip restaurant with cod chips and mushy peas! What a philistine !

I agree with Selsy. But then we have to ask "What, exactly, is Greek food?" Are we going by what the ancients ate? In which case, chips, lemons and tomatoes are out!

Personally, I like a varied diet.

One thing the ancients did which seems like a good idea is that women were not allowed to eat with the men and had to wait until later (although prostitutes were allowed at the tables). How about Ancient Greek nights in Agios Stefanos?

Nice  one Jimbo would it be fancy dress ? would need to know what to pack!

Oh No - not a fish n chip shop! Please.  Had a lovely Greek fish and chips dinner cooked to perfection at the Nafsika last year.

[Sellsy]

Hi Debra, I need a fish and chip shop with plastic table cloths, big pot of tea, wobbly table, neon sign, pile of newspapers, betting slips, and a fruit machine.... I just can't see the problem

[Rover]

Must be one in Sidari, Sellsy?

[Sellsy]

Ha! Too far to walk, with my diet of fish and chips I have piled the pounds on , plus  no taxis! Looks like I'm stuck with Greek mezzes and the like, just as well there's a few to choose from! On second thoughts do you think the chip shops in Sidari will deliver ?

[Jimbo]

Sellsy - I always take a few cans of mushy peas with me. Goes nicely with the sea bass.

Jimbo's information about the men in ancient times eating first makes me think that if I am hungry I might have to consider a career change !!!!
