Kez,do let me know what its like when you go back - you lucky thing! When I come to think about it we went the night before the refurb! so maybe that was why it wasn't as good.Because our starter and main course wasn't upto scratch we didn't bother with a sweet,which was a shame as they used to be the best especially the tiramasu (sp)
Will probably try it again next year just to see what its like.
Every year we look at the Brazialian restuarant and um and arh about going in but never do,does anyone know what its like?
There used to be an Austrian restuarant on the top road - Pernera end,go past the MacDonalds to the top road,turn left and then cross over the road,can't even think what its called but it went 2 years ago and it was fantastic,something really different.
Its such a shame about the places on that road they never seem to be that busy,people tend to stay on the strip.

We ate on the main road - it was next to the resturant with a big picture of a whale as there sign - can't remember the name either but we had a lovely meal there - the owner/chef even came out to make sure we were OK, bless him he was trying to get us to stay on nad have drinks but we had planned to meet family memebers in the main strip.

I think we were the only ones eating there at the time, although with us sitting there it did encourage a few other couples/familes to stop and read the menu wuth a couple coming in. :lol:

I can't wait to taste all the great food again - 3 weeks to go and counting :fly

For a really down to earth night with cheap prices and a bar where you help yourself the Louloudia (Chicken Shack) no need to dress up its a gravel floor :lol:

Good wholesome no frills food.

You have to book as its always packed and you need a car its on the road to Versouylles,,,, As you go towards the crossing at Ayia Nick's

Weve been visting Nicholas Taverna every year since 97 and have never had a problem with them or the food,I know the staff are always run off their feet but thats it,and if he treated the staff so badly how come they have been the same since 97! well I know Thomas the head waiter and a girl (can't remember her name)sorry! have anyway.
Maybe you just spoke to a bloke with a grudge!!!!.....

I always go to the Protamare, very good family owned restaurant with very friendly staff. I love the food in there. Also when I get a taxi there the drivers always rave about it. I believe the chef is suposed to be one of the best in Protaras.

we came back end of october, we ate in astoria a few times which was very nice, also nicholas which was lovely. Georgia's was another good one, the only one i didn't enjoy was protomare funnily enough but maybe we just made wrong choices, we went for the set menu which was prob a mistake, the service was good though. Overall thought the standard and choice was excellent, favourites were def astoria and nicholas.

No, this is not Thomas, I know Thomas personally
and he will never do this.
And he will probably put the whole menu here for you.
Next time go to nicolas, you will enjoy it there.
Your dinner will not get spoiled.

Your right of course lol
Next August when we go Thomas and Nicolas will recgognise us coming to their place and invite us in even after 2 years by name lol
Great people and great place the waitress in one of my earlier posts still talks my youngest daughter out of season when she is in Bulgaria :shock:

and to see the smiles on their faces when we go to the restaurant is reason enuff!

you got me!

I live in cyprus since 1998 and I have been to nicholas many times,

I talked to Thomas one time in october aday before his birthday on the 19th(i think) about that issue and he avoid answering back to me.
And I think he will not be there for next season.
Anyway, sorry to all of you if I said to much but is true.
I am not going there again.

I know I'm in the minority, but I didn't rate Nicolas Tavern at all. The service was appalling (it wasn't busy) and the food was certainly no better than I've had anywhere else there!

Will not be going back unfortunately.
