Just to confirm that Vinceremos is open but looking empty. I think this is because he told everyone last year that it was his last year and if people don't walk up to that end of the sea front then they won't realise. Please support it guys as otherwise it could be one less Taverna to choose from. I know the service can be a bit hap hazard and slow but the food is delicious and worth waiting for and the views are amazing . My husbsnd says to mention they also have Alpha on draft😀
I have allways liked going in the Vinceremos and will be going in in August when we are there. I don't understand why people seem to imply its a long way along the front its no distance at all, the lady who does all the cooking is a wonderfull lady and very welcoming, i for one will be very sorry when it does close.
I'll be there August for a couple of meals 🙂
I would like to add to my previous post that i do understand that some people do have mobility problems and the like but putting all that aside its not like walking to Afionas.
We're arriving in Arillas tonight (can't bl**dy wait!!)
We'll definitely be calling in at some point.
Have a great time Angie ! 😎🍻
Thanks Truth xx
Hi
Enjoy Angiem
We be out in August as well good food as Sonia said a bit slow just get another drink in

Tis always sad to have 2 good Tavernas alongside each other and I think that there are still some "newbies" who feel a tad uneasy walking past one place and enjoying the smiles and greetings to then venture into the place next door. With Grazella the first place from the front it does make it difficut for some and if you prefer Vinceremos but don't want to "upset" anyone then approach it from the other side.
I still feel guilty sometimes speaking to the good guys in Marina Pool Bar and then sitting in Beach Kostas.
(Nothing wrong with the pool bar but I fidget a tad and do not sit still for long so I need the option to throw a dart or two and not plunge in a pool)
I know of a couple who feel bad going into Athena when they are staying opposite at Marvel. They feel bad at them seen eating elsewhere when they could walk down to the front and be comfortable.
Bizarre , I know , and I welcome your thoughts on this.
Cheers

Negg - we are one of these families that don't like to offend but found it even more difficult last year as we were actually staying at Gratselas. I'm sure Gratselas wouldn't mind us supporting another business in Arillas but I personally would feel a tad uncomfortable- possibly due to the fact that we eat at Gratselas quite a few nights throughout our holiday as well as staying with them.
Negg..... And you Laura. No one should feel guilty about where they eat or drink although sometimes (rarely!) we do ! Some owners do make you feel uncomfortable if you take your bisiness elsewhere though...... fact
I know truth...its only ever between those 2 restaurants though. But it's good to share the business around all taverna owners!
Yes that's exactly the reason we haven't been there. Even if you came from the other side they would still see you and it (for us!) Would feel so awkward! It's the same scenario with the Coconut and Malibu isn't it?
Jo you are spot on, we used to go in the Malibu 25 years ago but now prefer to go in the coconut the age thing i suppose but as karl said you should not feel guilty we are on holiday and we work hard for our breaks, Karl you said about some places do make you feel uncomfortable if you don't spend more of your time and money with them i found that out about 6/7 years ago when i was asked that maybe if i liked it better elsewhere i should stay there next time, well that didn't go down well and so now we do.
Hi
Just put your head down and keep walking.
It's not as though both establishments are ever short of diners
Geoff
Please fo not let this put you off. We go to both Gratselas and Vinceremos and know someone who stays at Gratselas but eats at both. Unfortunately Geoff Vinceremos are short of customers - please see my original post and reason for posting.
Hi Sonia
No problem.
We prefer gratselas anyway
Geoff
Yeah each to their own Geoff. Just making everyone aware Vinceremos is open and yesterday was full of locals which was good to see. We had lunch there today and business has picked up. Of to Gratselas tonight. 😁
More than happy to give some support this year!

Probably because they let you in with your own supply of Colmans!!
(Don't forget Vinceremos do a lovely French Grain one)

Hi
I knew something was amiss lol

Been coming to Arillas for years and never eaten here before. Thought we would give a go this year and gave been 3 times in 10 days. Can honestly say it has been some of best best meals we have had over the years and very reasonable. Wish we had tried years ago. Highly recommend eating here.
Glad you enjoyed in Denzil 🙂

Brilliant Denzil. Glad you liked it. If you like Kleftiko and they havevit on as a special then I would highly recommend. Best in Arillas in my opinion
They look to be having a super summer. Very well deserved and well dun them.
Negg
Great to hear ! Problem now will be getting a bloody table though !
🤣
I remember a friend of mine saying that they did the best chicken souvlaki she had ever had and I do love chicken souvlaki. Maybe I could sneak in with a cunning disguise so as not to offend the boys next door 🙈
They'll be dragging you back next door Jo 🤣
We ate at mainly at Vinceremos last year because it was good food and very reasonably priced. Gratsellas is obviously good too but often full up. Love sitting there on a sunny afternoon. Looking forward to Vinceremos again this year.
There are so many good restaurants as we all know so it's fun to move around.
Kostas on the Beach is very friendly with great food. Can't wait to be there too
Mo
Just to show you the dartboard set up at Beach Kostas,

Hi
Me thinks Vinceremos is going to have a busy year reading all its praises.
You will be able to recognise all their clientele, as they will be wearing dark glasses, false beards , large face covering hats and scarfs. All walking fast and heads down lol
