Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....
  
Still suffering the runny nose etc but Joan and I decided to give a new restaurant a try this evening.
Some of you may remember that we used to sing the praises of Hensons restaurant, when Bob and Maggie used to own it. Well they have been out of there for almost two years now and the followers managed to destroy it in about 6 months flat. Since then it has changed hands, but not with any great success. We recently heard that it had been taken over again and is now called The Red Lion, a
true English name for you. Well some good reports have been coming our way so we rang and booked for just the two of us.
This restaurant can be found on the road down towards The Denizkizi Hotel, in Alsancak. At this time of the year they are of course indoors and have to say it was lovely and warm in there and we were greeted well by the owners and a group of ladies who were playing darts. The menu is quite extensive and very English, with dishes like fagots with mushy peas and onion gravy. I chose to try a steak with a strong pepper sauce, whilst Joan had a homemade steak and kidney pie. Both meals were plentiful and very well cooked and we were glad not to have had starters and certainly did not need any pud. Coffee and Brandy comes complimentary with your meal and drinks prices were very reasonable. During the winter they have event evenings, such as darts on Thursday, so if you just want a good meal in pleasant surroundings then check this one out, good value and nice people.
