2/5 Ioannis I. 9 months ago on Google
I’ve
been
visiting
this
pub/restaurant
for
years
now,
so
know
it
quite
well.
It
is
one
of
the
most
popular
places
at
the
edge
of
Protaras
for
good
food
and
for
live
sports,
especially
Cypriot
Championship
and
English
Premiership
games.
As
every
year,
we
went
there
last
week
to
watch
live
two
Greek
Cypriot
teams
playing
in
UEFA
Europa
Conference
League.
The
place
was
packed
and
we
got
a
table
only
after
a
cancellation
-
this
is
typical
as
(I
repeat)
the
place
is
quite
popular.
Firstly
the
food:
Once
we
arrived
and
sat
at
the
nicely
located
table,
(relative
to
the
big
screen
for
watching
the
game),
the
senior
waiter
gave
us
the
specials
menu,
highly
recommending
the
options
on
it,
and
of
course
pointed
to
the
regular
menu
for
the
standard
options.
I
was
attracted
to
the
swordfish
option
from
the
specials,
as
I
hadn’t
had
this
dish
in
ages.
Not
only
the
food
arrived
last
(we
were
a
group
of
10)
and
with
a
noticeable
delay,
the
portions
were
tiny
-
literally
same
size
as
normal
size
chicken
nuggets;
the
fish
was
served
with
a
tasty
fig-marmalade,
nicely
done
stir-fried
vegetables
and
chips.
For
€22.50,
this
was
disproportionately
small.
The
atmosphere:
A
reminder
that
the
pub
was
packed
with
Cypriots,
due
to
the
live
games,
and
so
needless
to
say
that
there
was
unfortunately
and
illegally,
heavy
smoking,
to
the
extent
of
a
stomach-upset
as
there
was
a
variety
of
tobacco
being
consumed
(cigarettes,
cigars,
e-cigarettes
etc.).
I
spoke
to
the
management,
who
were
initially
claiming
that
this
was
legal,
but
when
I
mentioned
EU
regulations
about
a
minimum
of
75%
openness,
they
swiftly
agreed
and
showed
full
understanding.
I
wasn’t
going
to
spoil
our
evening
by
arguing
with
smokers,
just
because
of
inconsiderate
behaviour,
so
I
just
accepted
this
(it
unfortunately
happens
everywhere
indoors).
In
all
honesty,
the
management
showed
respect
to
us
but
were
not
going
to
argue
with
more
than
half
of
their
customers
just
because
of
us.
To
a
degree
this
is
understandable,
but
this
inconsiderate
behaviour
must
change.
