Paphos Life

I never knew there was a Woolworths here. Before my time obviously

I'm surprised at that Trev, I thought you were before me but yes Woolworths was in what was the Debenhams building plus part of Papantinou across the way. Prices were interesting, same as UK but in Cyprus£'s

I think the changeover from Woolworths to Debenhams happened circa 2004.

Ah, we arrived at the end of 2006

Again we went to the Paradise restaurant for fish and chips at lunch time today... They are open from 12 noon until late in the evening.
I had cod in light tempura batter with chips, mushy peas, and bread and butter..
My wife had Scampi and chips, with salad, and bread and butter..
The cost for both meals, a grand total of €10

That sounds great value, Trev! Reminiscent of my old Moullia F&C days. No drinks? Not even a cup of tea?

Cheers- AL

Oh yes you can have drinks. I usually have a Carlesburg and my wife usually has wine..
We have just been discussing what time to do the shopping tomorrow so we can have F&C for lunch

Moulia haven't closed in fact they are back where they started. About 15 years ago they were on Poseidonos on the sea front opposite the swimming baths. McDonalds arrived in Paphos and Moulia were persuaded (££££) to vacate their prime location and move further back away from the front into Lidas (Woolworth's Street). It still remained quite busy but never as popular as when they were on the front. Now that McDonalds have moved onto the Tombs of the Kings Avenue Moulia have taken back their lease on the sea front and moved back to their old home but now have quite a posh looking restaurant. (Always used to be plastic tablecloths etc but not now ) Haven't tried it yet but it used to be THE Best F&C in Paphos.

Thanks D&P for this input (and history!) regarding Moullia F&C!

Let's hope that PL members living in or around Paphos give the new-style Moullias a try for a Fish 'n Chip supper, and report back on their experience? They used to have another branch on TOTK road, on the right, driving from Paphos to Coral Bay. Is that still there, I wonder?

yes

We used to go to the one on TOTK rd. that was earlier this year. But we now favour another place serving Fish & Chips

Railway Inn in Chloraka does great fish and chips!

Dare we ask where, Trev 'n Hil, please? Paradiso, perhaps? Cheers- AL

No not the Paradiso 'aL' it is called the Paradise Restaurant... Have you tried it ? What did you think of the Fish and chips there ?? Would you recommend them ??

Last year during our Spring visit we went to the Paradise as it was so well reported on.

The result was the only negative report I have ever made in Trip Advisor. Poor service, patio stank of cat pee. Scruffy unkempt proprietor who seemed to be in a trance when we told him we would pay for our drinks and go elsewhere.

We went to Rileys on the TOK Road on the rebound and were in no way disappointed, in fact we were glad it had worked out that way. We usually prefer the Kentroikon in Mandria but it was getting on in the evening so we didn't fancy the drive.

Sadly, despite many positive reports, the Paradise is definitely "struck off" in our case. It is worthy of note that there are many other places in and around Paphos where Fish & Chips can be enjoyed to a good standard.

We still use the Paradise Restaurant for good fish and chips most Fridays... They have other fish dishes on the 'Friday fish day' menu as well... We were there for the Good Value Sunday Lunch two days ago... They were fully booked so they must be getting something right..

Trev,
The restaurant opposite the fire station and near KFC is run by the sister of the Mandria chippie people and they are equally as good but cost more than a fiver.

I prefer the view of the sea and the bay from the Paradise to looking out on the Fire Station.. But, I have not tried their fish and chips. If Mandria was nearer I would go there more often, but not the one mentioned above. But the one I call the original one

My favourite Fish n’chip places are at Mandria and Santa Marina at Coral Bay, always consistantly good. Horses for courses....

Must admit, we use Santa Marina when we fancy fish & chips ............... never been disappointed yet! Have been to Mandria but nice as it was it's too far out to go to unless you are out that way for another reason!
