Today
was
supposed
to
be
a
special
end
in
Cyprus,
for
this
purpose
the
restaurant
SAGE
was
recommended
to
us,
they
advertise
themselves
that
this
is
the
best
restaurant
in
Cyprus
and
that
it
is
the
only
one
knocking
on
the
door
of
the
Michelin
star
temple.
Reason
enough
to
look
forward
to
it
and
go
there.
A
reservation
at
short
notice
worked
out
well.
The
restaurant
itself
is
modern,
well
located
and
there
is
parking
nearby.
The
menu
itself
exists
only
digitally,
which
means
nothing
works
without
a
smartphone.
Allergens
are
not
declared.
The
wine
list
is
good
-
there
is
a
good
selection
of
local
and
international
wines.
The
menu
is
also
extensive,
there
were
no
daily
or
weekly
specials.
The
greeting
from
the
kitchen
was
a
small
portion
of
cream
of
broccoli
soup,
cream
was
not
to
be
found
in
it
-
it
was
quite
thin
and
not
very
attractive
in
colour.
It
was
accompanied
by
a
roll
and,
in
our
case,
gluten-free
bread
with
three
different
spreads.
The
first
starter
was
a
shrip
cocktail,
with
the
shrimp
itself
being
frozen
and
layered
with
plenty
of
cocktail
sauce.
The
second
starter
was
a
bruschetta
with
foie
gras.
The
bread
was
dry
and
cold
throughout,
the
foie
roasted
but
without
salt.
I
think
it's
a
must
here
to
sprinkle
a
few
fleur
de
sel
flakes
on
top
after
frying
and
not
use
old
and
cold
dry
baguette.
The
intermediate
course
was
supposed
to
be
seared
tuna
on
wakame.
The
fish
was
ice
cold
on
the
outside
and
inside,
the
question
is
when
this
was
seared
The
wasabi
was
missing,
a
shame
as
the
seasoning
was
rather
flat.
We
had
two
main
courses,
a
lamb
rack
with
crust
and
accompaniments
and
a
so-called
chicken
tower.
I'll
make
it
short
and
sad:
the
chicken
or
chicken
breast
was
dead
fried
and
very
dry,
the
lamb
rack
was
lamb
chops
and
these
had
no
touch
of
pink
or
medium,
so
were
completely
done.
The
side
dishes
and
garnishes
of
both
dishes
were
completely
identical.
(See
photos)
The
potato
unpeeled,
the
vegetables
almost
cold,
without
taste
and
also
almost
raw.
They
were
steamed,
put
in
a
cold
place
and
then
maybe
briefly
put
in
hot
water
and
not,
as
is
usual
in
gastronomy,
tossed
with
butter
in
a
pan
and
heated.
The
sauce
for
the
lamb
was
wine-based,
quite
fatty
but
without
the
typical
lamb
flavour
or
any
typical
herbs
like
tarragon,
thyme
or
rosemary.
Just
a
banal
basic
sauce
or
jus.
I
find
it
hard
to
imagine
that
an
ambitious
chef
was
at
work
or
at
the
pass.
This
is
pseudo-cuisine
for
tourists
who
come
and
leave
quickly.
You
don't
get
a
public
like
that.
Dear
Maitre
de
Cuisine
-
I
really
hope
you
change
something
here.
A
word
about
the
service:
light
and
shade!
The
head
waiter
was
supposed
to
convey
quality,
but
he
didn't.
The
people
are
not
well
trained!
I
was
told
'Hm'
when
I
complained
about
the
meat,
and
the
same
young
waiter
came
shortly
afterwards
and
removed
two
chairs
from
our
table
without
a
word
during
the
meal.
Last
but
not
least,
we
asked
several
times
for
my
wife
about
the
gluten-free
nature
of
her
dishes.
What
should
say;
there
was
gluten
in
it
and
she
is
not
well
at
all
right
now.
But
somehow
it
fits
the
whole
picture
