On Friday nobody felt like cooking and we couldn’t decide what we wanted. Neither of us had a great appetite, as we’ve all been ill. In the end, I decided I wanted a steak and Elena wanted pasta. So we set about finding somewhere open… at 4.30pm.
We tried Kolossi, where there is a steakhouse that seemed to fit the bill, but… not open til six! Next, on to Akrotiri, Aphrodite… shut, Ryan’s… shut, then on toward Limassol. At this point we wondered whether it wouldn’t be better to go to the supermarket and go home to cook for ourselves after all, things were going downhill! I decided that an executive decision had to be made quickly, otherwise things would deteriorate into the usual bickering arguments which ensue when everyone is too hungry to bother reasoning. Finally we passed TGI Fridays on the front at Limassol and I said, “That’ll do!” In we went and I promptly ordered my New York Strip Steak, while Elena and Kyle both had pasta dishes.
My steak was OK, nothing special, just OK. Something like a steak should be, just one third the amount you’d expect to get in the US for around the same in $ US. The pasta was… well, pasta really, OK except the pasta was overcooked and the veg slightly overcooked. Never mind, at least we know! We won’t be rushing back there, that’s for sure!
