never got round to lamb at Yiannis' yet... however i did have his fish of the day a couple of times last year and it was brilliant. He was most aplogetic one night when there was no fish and kept me some for the following night... but that's SS for you isn't it?

Any views on the spit roast lamb at Paradise?  Would highly rate Perros barbecue but want to try Teresa's and Ozzy Oils versions. So many great places and not enough time to sample them all. Trouble is you choose somewhere and then you spend the next half an hour dissecting the menu! And you're still spoiled for choice! ............ What we did last year was spend anevening in the Olympia making a Meze off the starters menu... Cracking evening and genuine assault on the old taste buds! Well worth trying for a change.

Lovely guys at the Paradise - they make the place, but the Lamb was not quite as good there!!
Their shish kebabs are great though!!
We've never stayed or eaten in the Perros - didn't realise they had a restaurant!!
Love the Olympia - Stellias is a friend of our Son, and used to give him a lift to club in Sidari.
We always eat there once or twice, but you have to do the rounds - don't you!!

dont know about the spit roast lamb at Paradise but their Prawn Cocktail is brilliant ... huge fresh prawns ! also amazing value. As for Olympia.... love the food there but once or twice have had a slightly negative experience which i hope was just an error but unfortunately others have reported same problem. Stelios is always very welcoming and helpful. Also have never eaten at Perros but know people who stay there and say food is excellent.

Never tried Paradise but we do love Olympia. Stelios is lovely and very welcoming.
Never tried the barbie at Ozzie Oils but can highly recommend Teresa BBQ night. It is always a night never to be forgotten. The family at Teresa are terrific hosts as well as dancers.

I must admit that last year something was amiss with Stellios, maybe personal problems, or family problems, he just was not his usual self.
We had a poor experience there as well, first time ever.
Also, for the first time in all the years we have eaten at the Olympia, he didn't give us the usual complimentry drink after our meal.
However, benefit of the doubt, we will try again this year!! He did seem troubled when we last saw him!!

We ate at the Olympia a couple of times last year, once with Jules & Roy. Stelios made us very welcome, will certainly go again this year.

Back to the mexican then !!!!!

Am friends with Pavlos (Zorbas) and he has told me he has the old mexican site, not sure if thats rented or what.

He is planning a Pizzeria there but not sure when it will be up and running. I imagine it would be of a higher class than Town pizza !!!!!

Also Jenny & Leo from Romanza are opening a new restaurant (have now left Romanza) which is going to be left a T junction not far up opposite Yiannis Grill.

Hope this helps
