I got tagged!..

...and I love it!

Dear Annie tagged me. Thank you, Annie. You have a way with waking people up...That is all I can say.

These are the rules of the meme:
1. Link to the name of the person who tagged you.
2. Include the state and country you’re in.
3. List your top 5 favorite places to eat at your location (locally).
4. Tag 5 other people (preferably from other countries/states) and let them know they’ve been tagged.

We currently live in Greece, that tiny peninsula in the SE Mediterranean with lots of islands around! We, however, live in the mountainous North West, but commute to the Ionian Islands for our interior design and home furnishing business.

Favorite place number one is this restaurant which sits amidst a park. There is a playground and a little lake on the grounds, too. It is not Central Park nor is it Green Park. But it is a park with a restaurant and some facilities for children (although the playground could do with some renovation). They are creative with Greek cuisine, and children friendly.



Place number two and a close second is the Greek fast food giant "Goodys". I remember how pleased I was to discover that there was a Wendy's on Athens' Syntagma Square when I first came here! I, a non-meat eater, loved the Bacon Mushroom melt! You get a picture of how lost this soul has been while discovering "home"! Well, the Greek version is lighter, and healthier, dare I say. Lots of salads and adaptations of traditional Greek dishes, especially over the two fasting seasons, before Easter and Christmas.

Place number three is Etrusco, a restaurant in Athens and Corfu, whose chef is Italian and has earned himself a place amongst the best restaurants in Greece. The food portions are small and expensive and they look funny. The last time we went there it was last summer. It was fun trying to guess what is what!

My absolutely favorite restaurant ever, though, is The River Cafe in London. I have been a regular since it opened its doors. Absolutely lovely, the wharf and everything plus the food which is fresh, light and delicious.

As for desert, the best place has to be the Liston cafe in Corfu. Delicious treats and a great place for people watching.
