Yes the season is about to start and the restaurant owners are painting their places, seen lots of thatching going down to the beach.
My favourite place to eat is Floyds, (the original one opposite the elephant shop) the food is better than most and a good variation of British and Indian food, the staff have to be the most obliging people in India running on errands ,arranging car scooter hire, Oh yes and good waiters.
My favourite meal is chicken or beef chilli fry, never been able to finish one yet at Rs130 not to spicy and lots of meat, followed by lobster at Rs900/1000, I can't eat lobster that often.
