Who likes the map of Corfu, made in brickwork, then?
Cheers
Negg
Looks just amazing. Seriously expect to be there next July - can't wait! Thanks for the update Eggy.
Phil
Thanks for the photos Neill. It's hard to believe that we were sat in there just 10 days ago. There was still work to be done but I just know that it's going to be fantastic when it's finished. The stone work, Corfu map adds a nice touch.
Really looking forward to visiting next year.
It's really looking good now! Last time we were there, we were sat in a building site!!!
(the food was good tho!)
neil
looks good,,would they pick u up and drop you back ,,,as its a bit of a trot ???????/
Brilliant! 2 weeks ago we sat in a building site too .....food and hospitality were still great though!
Yes Kevin, they will pick you up in their van and return you at the end of the evening.

Looks lovely! I've been there a couple of times in the past, not this year though,
and the food and hospitality was certainly great!

Looking good to me too! I have actually never been there but there is always next August ;)
We have often passed the Mon Amour but have never stopped off now this is a must for next june
Kev perhaps we can share the van one evening?

sounds good to me ang ...........yammas
Looks good but cant find it on the maps.
Will definitely go and have a look next year if i can find it
If you do the circle walk from Bardis Sun back to the front you pass the Mon Amour Apartments and the number to call for free transport is listed on their wall. We haven't been either but next year hopefully !!!
Have seen that often JerseyBean. I wonder now why we have never followed it up. We were probably heading to Thomas at Vavilas......
Next July we certainly will get there. There is no way can Jen can walk there any more though. The trot from Brouklis to Rainbow is a trial for her now. (Di of PaulC and Di, I've found my legs, but Jen seems to have lost hers.... ) The transport is a huge bonus. Instead of baked beans on toast, we will probably eat the most expensive items on the menu. If we like them of course. At a guess, local prawns with garlic. Bring it on!!!
Sad we only had two minutes over the wall at Coconut JerseyBean. I justknow how much hot air we would have shared given the chance. Oh well, avrio....

OK Found it.
Have driven past it many times.
Will go have a look next June.
Thanks
Every time I walked past I did not have a pen and thought oh it's ok I'll remember it.
Then we'd meet someone we knew and start chatting and I would completely forget it.
Sadly Just Phil we will miss you again next year as we don't arrive until 06th August.
We too like Vavillas and the wine there is an absolute bargain !
The Mon Amour [also know as Kokkinos Taverna] is on the Kavadades road. Instead of turning right for Corfu Town [by the car repair garage] carry straight-on, as if you were driving to Sidari. The Mon Amour is a little further on, on the left.
I'm not sure what the connection is with the Mon Amour apartments that Jersey Bean has mentioned [Eileen or Eggy are sure to know]
Tel no for Mon Amour is 06630 51106
Sara, they own the apartments. Yiannis and stamatis are living there just now.
Thanks for the number Sara it's now on my phone.
Val
Looking absolutely brill....must call in on next visit . :)
Mon Amour is 1 place we have never been. We passed it once when we got lost on the way back from seeing friends 1 night and son in law missed our turning but not sure if we would be able to find it again.

Beautiful Restaurant ....
And you forgot to mention the builder ! A great builder who cares about his work !!
Spiros Aspiotis from CorfuBuild which is on the left , going back toward Arillis , just past the supermarket , next to a fantastic coffee shop. If you have any plans for building , call in and see Aggie who speaks perfect "New York" English !!
I know because he is building our house with the same roof !
Curt
P.S. lets not let this restaurant get too well known ... its too good !!
I am amzed how many people seem to have not been to Mon Amour ( having said that completely understand problems with walking and other physical problems). We have been going for many years now and the food and hospitality have always been great and great value to. They are a lovely family right frorm Great grandad Stakis through to Grandad Spiro to Yianniss and Stamatsi their wives and little new arrivals ( apologies to all at Mon Amour I have temporarilly forgotten their names) So in summary those of you that have not yet been taken advantage of the free transport and get yourselves up there and I promis you Iam not on commission.!!!

As soon as I posted mt last message I remebered Great grandaughter's name Caterina But sdtill cannot recall the newest arrival. Must be old age.

Wow - Eggy thanks for the photos - I love the map in bricks. Just to confirm that they do pick you up and take you back again = we did it last year and will no doubt do it again this year. I have my Mon Amour ashtray sat next to me as I type. No....... I didn't steal it - they sell some amazing pottery.:-)
Anne - wine o'clock - and Phil - namesake - thanks for posting. We will try for the first time in July. SOLD!
Phil
The chicken is fantastic !!
Sara...............re Tel no for Mon Amour is 06630 51106 - what code do you put in front if using an English mobile please. x
Anne, the code for Corfu is 0030, but as the tel no I've given already starts with a 0, just add 003.
