Castaways - (Restaurants in Argassi)

Ian F  (16 August 2008)        10/10

This was without doubt our best meal experience on our holiday in Argassi.

Stuart 'on the door' was not pushy and just explained what was available and the fact that this restaurant had been awarded recognition for its food. The ingredients were fresh, the portions satisfying even for the hungriest eater and the waiting staff were professional but fun.
The location on a rooftop under palm umbrellas made it a pleasant place, catching any gentle breezes on hot evenings.
I am ashamed to say that on one occasion I succumbed to the Sunday roast starting with home made tomatoe soup, a fabulous chicken with all the trimmings in a delicious gravy, fabulous and cooked by a British Chef!! The Greek based meals were great too. I tried the voscopus ( probably spelt wrong) which is a slow cooked beef in red wine. The other pleasant change was the offer of mash or roast potatoes instead of chips.
The attitude contrasts with Doubles restaurant next door but one where you are accosted on a nightly basis in a really intrusive and annoying manner. We refused every time and on 13th August after refusing again were told by a very stroppy member of staff not to come back to Greece! So Brits not welcome there! Anyway, with Castaways available, why go elsewhere.

Double - (Restaurants in Argassi)

The guy at front of house was the most annoying person as he accosted you and, given the opportunity, guided you into his establishment.

We refused each time as we resented the pressure.
Finally on the evening of 13th August we again refused and were told and I quote ' you never eat here, dont come back to Greece'. Well, what an insult. I shall come back as I love Greece and its Islands and its people but needless to say nowhere near Doubles!! Take my humble advice and cross to the opposite side of the road, but you may still not be spared.
The rating relates to attitude as we did not eat there.
