question for the regulars - Where to find Giouvetsi

[russw]

My son (9 years old) loves Giouvetsi (lamb with rice shaped pasta in a clay pot) but it is often hard to find in Greek restaurants.

Anybody know of any restaurants in San Stefanos that sells this. (we go to San Stefanos for the first time in August)

thanks

Russ.

Ask at Sunset.  It may not be on the regular menu but Maria cooks daily 'specials' and welcomes requests!

It's more common in Turkey, had it last night in fact  - here in Dalyan.
I am told that Maria and Spiros are not there this year at the Sunset.
Zorba's used to have it on the menu, but they don't break the pots there in Corfu.
They do similar Corfiot Dishes, as well, that he may like, just ask.
Beachcomber Bistro may also cook it for you, ask Sue to ask Nicky the chef -she is really good and happy to cook anything, just give notice as this dish is slow cooked.
Enjoy!!

I spoke to Spiros from Sunset this week nothing was mentioned about them going, he just said he would see us in August

[Jules]

Sunshine someone has said Sunset is up for sale

[sunshine]

Hi Jules.Yes we heard that also so i looked up Corfu estate agents and found it, so i rang Spiros to check on our transfers I did,nt mention anything about what i had heard and he did,nt say anything about selling I just hope our holiday is safe I am sure he would,nt just up and go as we have become good friends

[Jules]

Maybe someone who is there at the moment could find out a bit more for you

[lilly]

sunshine, since you have seen it for sale at estate agents then to be honest I would just ring him and ask him directly afterall it is your holiday. When are you going? I should imagine it will take some time for it to be sold anyway.

[sunshine]

We are going 20th August.Awork friend of my sister is there at the moment she went on friday so is going to txt her and see if she can find anything out.I can,t see it selling for a while anyway what with the current money problems.

[lilly]

Sunshine, I agree in that I doubt that it will be sold any time in the near future.

[Jules]

Maybe Don will have some news on his return home on Friday as well

[tonyco1]

I did ask Don to find out any info!!

[Jimbo]

I will do some research!

[tonyco1]

Nice one Jim.

Had a brilliant Giouvetsi at the Paradise Taverna. Definitely my favourite meal of the whole holiday. Wine cheapest and best too.
