Manthos Taverna.
« on: April 28, 2019, 12:43:00 PM »
Apparently it has had a makeover in the close season, and from what I could see, it looks stunning. One of the best, if not thee best, sunset spots in the village. Ate here a few times, and the food is excellent, and the cold beers too. I wish the new management all the very best for the summer season, and will definitely drop in for a meal or two again during our stay at Fedra. Hope they have oxtail soup on the menu still, the best ever tasted.


If its not one thing,its your mother.

When Katie was at Romanza I always said it was some of the best food in the village.
Looking forward to sampling it here

Must say I preferred it when it was a good old-fashioned taverna, with Manthos in charge, than the more up-market version of recent times. We'll see.

I agree - Manthos and Beachcomber have the best sunsets apart from Akrotiri. They beat Panorama by a mile, I think.

Looks good and hopefully will get more people to venture around the corner and also try Nafsika and Fantasea

Yes the new facelift looks very pretty but can't help feeling a pang of nostalgia for the old taverna and mine host Manthos.

I'll even miss the faded picture of roses that hung by the toilets and the other pictures painted by Manthos' wife. Gone are the days when Manthos used to sneak up with a lobster and frighten some poor, unsuspecting customer or invite you into the kitchen to choose your fish.
It was just the most relaxing place to sit and enjoy lunch or evening meal . I hope he new hosts manage to keep that relaxed atmosphere.

We may take a look, instead of eating in the same place all the time :)

Manthos was a great taverna. I remember one evening, a man dashing in and thrusting 20 euros in my hand. I think his name was Jimbo.

I loved the original Manthos it really did have something special about it.
We had OH's old uncle with us one year about 20 years ago and it was his favourite place he loved to chat there.

It won't be the same. It was always one of the old style taverna's much loved by visitors to San Stef. We will certainly miss it.

Rave reviews about the food and the changes made to Manthos Taverna. Does anyone know if the loungers are still out front, my favourite place to sun worship,and pop to the bar for a cold beer  8).

From looking at the Nafsika webcam, I can see some sunbeds nearby :)
