will try to get an email for Night Owl. We love it there too and were sorry to read a bad review of it earlier on the forum. We had such a relaxed and pleasant evening there last year. Can't wait to go back this year.

Hi James, you ok. It`s a little taverna on the way to Affionis. About 6 tables, but really nice to sit there on a nice afternoon.

Lindy P.
Will try to get to Night Owls next 3/4 days. Linda has been back to America this week but is due to return today. I need to go to Afionas by Friday so will drop in for a drink there. - Car permitting - Think my spare part is here tomorrow. ( The Car's not mine!)

Hi Lindy P.
               Thank you for the clarification.

Your description of it, indicates the sort of place my wife and I would feel comfortable in.

Hopefully Eggy will be able to update us about it shortly?

Only 5 weeks before we have a chance to try out for ourselves.  :-)

James you would love it. Beautiful surroundings, lovely people! We had agreat night there last year. My husband and friend took guitars and our daughter sang, joined in by Linda, Nic, their boys and one or two local people. A magical evening made all the more exciting as there were power cuts and Linda had to provide candles!

Thank you for the updates gaye, Lindypops and Eggy.

We're looking forward to paying a visit.  :-)

Hopefully it'll not be too full when we come  ;-)

I take it the owners are Ex Pat Brits?

James
As I understand it. Nickos is Greek but lived in America for a while where he met his wife Linda. Night Owls has been up and running for about 3 years now.
They have a mixed clientele, local greeks, a few Germans that live aroiund Afionas and of course us Brits, either living here or on holiday.
Fortunately not all at the same time!
The menu is fairly basic, certainly not a "6 pager", but enough to choose something to your fancy.
On Saturday evenings Nick does a special of lamb on spit or Pork roll etc but he doesn't always seem sure, too far in advance, of what it will be. He's not decided for Saturday yet but then it is only Tuesday.
It's a nice place to be, but a bit of a trek from Arillas. Of course those forum members who have walked Agious Stephanos would find it a doddle. Linda is known to offer people an end of evening lift back to Arillas, as Lindy P will confirm, but only if they are not too busy.
Regards

Thank you Eggy for the in-depth informative post.

No language problem there then  ;-)

In our experience, a LARGE menu generally means bad news for us. They cannot cope with it in the kitchen.

The times we have seen one outside a place, then when we go in we're handed the "Real Menu". Or it's "Chips With Everything" style.

Also, places with menus in multiple languages we know to avoid.

We like the sensible small selection of local recipe choices for omnivores.

In Tunisia, my wife was invited into the kitchen to choose. Unfortunately she was indecently molested by the waiters and other staff, despite being respectably attired and behaved. We left hastily after an exchange of words. We have declined such offers since.

Hopefully we'll be able to walk the distance, albeit slowly. I'll take a torch as well.  ;-)

James, if you like a smallish menu, enjoy fish and like to see what you are about to eat, you must go to Vavillas Fish Restaurant
