on holiday in paradise beach we decided on this restaurant for our christmas day meal. the owner run family business is filled withgoodcheer, great food and passion for their craft. we were warmly welcomed and shown to our table. the restaurant was packed and people without bookings were queuing at the door.
we ordered a meze platter to share for starters. it had grilled halloumi (the best hubby has eve eaten), superb spanakopita, light and crispy tiropita, keftedes, mince dolmades topped with tomato and yoghurt dressing, lightly toasted pita bread and tzatsiki. excellent all round. we also tried the octopus in red wine. it was tender and tasty.
for mains we had kleftiko; the most juicy slow baked lamb shank marinated in olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, rosemary and wine. outstanding! hubby had the mussels in marinara sauce.
there was just a small pocket of space left so i squeezed in a portion of baklava. delicate layers of phyllo pastry layered with pecan and almond and soaked in honey. droolicious! hubby had a kalua dom pedro.
the meal was delicious; the hospitality faultless; the ambience and decor was authentic and attractive.
