The one thing that baffled me on this holiday was the poor quality of the 3 Peppered Steaks I had. Had one in Little Prince, one in Mythica and I cant recall where I had the other one.
The steaks were pretty much cooked as I asked.....the quality of the steak at Mythica was better than that at the Little Prince. They just cant seem to get the sauce right though. All of them were really thick....consistency akin to a thick cheese sauce. They all seemed to lack proper peppercorns. It was almost like ground pepper had just been mixed up into the sauce.

I very rarely have a steak when on hols in the Med - it just ain't up to the quality of steak in the UK these days. Since all the BSE issue all those years ago, most beef/steak i've had in the UK in recent years has been excellent.
A lot of so-called steak in the Med countries is dire IMO.
Take the infamous sizzling steak at the Little Prince, for example - poor quality frying steak - a steak cut i don't buy at home.

Speaking as a newbie to San Stef, we didn't have a completely bad meal in all our 10 days there.  The first night we ate at 2 Stars, Richard chose kleftico and was very disappointed.  However, whatever I had (can't remember back to July) was good.  We also ate at Little Prince (v.good), Zorbas (nice) Mythica (OK) and Ozzy Oils (fantastic ambience and different to the usual greek taverna)  There were a couple of other places we ate which I can' remember names of. 

As already said, we didn't have a bad meal all holiday (kleftico excepted but Richard is very difficult to please and judges a restaurant by how they do theirs!)

Next year we will definitely return to Ozzy Oils, Little Prince and Mythica, but there were so many other places we didn't get to try. Roll on July 2011!

I tried that steak the year before last at the Little Prince. It was truly awful...It had sizzeled before it got to me and was the worst thing I have honestly ever eaten in S.S. Wifey had the Bom Bom thingy which she was unable to finish due to being a horrible mush.
We only went there because loads of people were raving about it on here. The service was pretty bad and in the end couldn't get anyone to take our money so we went to the till and gave it to them there.The draught beer was flat as well. A very disappointing first and last time at this place...We'd always kept away from this place but thought we would give it a go...Never again..Perhaps we choose a bad night.Who knows?...Have always had a good steak at the Olive Press and The Beachcomber..

I have a policy of never eating steak in Greece. It's just not one of their things. All the meat is cut differently, the cattle are different, and so on. You usually need to take a knife-sharpener to your incisors.

The same goes for liver. I had "calves liver" in Mythica in the summer, hoping that it would resemble something soft, delicate and delicious. I'd just say that for Greece it was less like eating a rubber ball than usual, but really didn't make it. A lot of it is the source materials, and the traditional cooking styles.

I've never been anywhere in Greece that has as much beef on the menus as SS. I assume that this comes from it being a tourist centre.

We've always had good food at Little Prince, taking the above provisos into account. We're going back to stay there for the third time on Friday, and will eat there several times. I will report back!
