| If the food and the atmosphere are good and the pricing reasonable I don't see why it shouldn't succeed. There are differences in Greek and GC and Turkish and TC food. Perhaps it could also attract some business from the south as well taking advantage of the generally lower labour and food/ drink costs here. Bets of luck Aussie |

| One thing for sure it would be so much cheaper for them this side. Sae Gcs friends the other day they went to starbucks for coffe as you do 7 euro in a plastic cup and serve yourself. They came to us then went to the harbour and paid 20TL for 2 beers a frappe and a coffee. We should encourage them xxxxx |

| Message 6 - sorry all, but can no longer resist this. I have tried and really hoped that someone else would post, but: "Giro"? Surely you would have to pay in Euros, rather than a cheque to cover unemployment? "Gyros" is offered, by me (Old Mother Wick, or whatever). Come on Brinsley - if someone else had done this, you'd have been on them like a ton of bricks |

| As long as it did a cooked breakfast and sunday lunch I guess quite a lot of expats would patronise it !! ;-) I lived in the South for 2 years and must admit that I do miss a good pork kebab, souvlaki etc from time to time. Paul |

| re msg 10 Lillie I would not begrudge you about complaining for the harbour prices,they are disgustingly expensive. Lucky,they dont charge us for sewege smell So,we dont go there(ezic is much better and cheaper) As for Greeks opening a restaurant in the north;(by being encouraged) Please let me know when its open!I'd like to be the first one in there; And I wouldnt be going there as customer either. |

| Salahi Nothing wrong with Greek cuisine and if cheap and cheerful would make an interesting contrast to the average Turkish fare. It doesn't need to be fronted with Greek workers, just a competent Chef that knows what he/she is doing in the kitchen and understands the Country's dishes . Unfortunately too few restaurants/chefs in TRNC actually have a knowledge outside their own basic understanding of their own ethnic cuisine. Richard |

| In Tenby Wales set in the city walls there is a greek restaurant serving Keo and south wines Aphrodite etc greek and roc flags I had a meal there two years ago and the waiter was from by the police station in Girni and it is Turkish owned The other side of the city wall they run the kebap shop in their true Turkish style . So its a bit of a Trojan horse with the trojans fooling the greek lovers this time Then I suppose its no different than" Little Italy "restaurant in Kingston on Thames being run by Hungarians which it is so you cant judge a book by looking at its cover lol |
