Castaways - (Restaurants in Argassi)

We all loved it here and went back several times.  Lots of waiters/waitresses available making the service fast and efficient.  All were really friendly and nothing was too much trouble, even when we knocked over an almost-full bottle of wine.  If you get there before it gets busy you can pick your own table.  This place had the biggest menu out of all the places we went in Argassi -- even I was spoilt for choice and I'm a veggie!  Large portions -- the desserts looked lovely but we never had room to try them after the main course.  I was very happy with the prices.

I was at the table where you could see right into the men's toilet, and very few shut the door!  No-one washed their hands afterwards.  The place just felt dirty although it looked clean enough.  Hardly touched my food because of this, and the spinach pies were a bit stodgy.  Although the staff speak good English and understand what you are saying, but they don't understand what you mean if you complain.  They're not being awkward -- they just don't get the whole concept of hygiene.

I really hated this place.  OK so I didn't order specifically from the vegetarian menu, but the pasta dish I asked for (forgotten what it was called) appeared to be veggie on the menu.  There was certainly no mention of any meat in the description.  However, it tasted beefy and left a coat of fat in my mouth (it may be that only other vegetarians would understand what I mean, but it's the main reason I stopped eating meat).  The sauce on my dish was exactly the same as that on my partner's food (a different dish altogether) and the same as the dip they brought with the unrequested bread at the start.  Do they just make the one sauce and use it for everything?  This was also one of the more expensive places we ate.

Ooh, the pancakes with chocolate sauce are gorgeous!  They also do "packed lunches" at a very reasonable price.  A cool spray system is in operation during the day which really helps when the heat's getting to you.  You can see the pancakes being made.   You can also get them to take away.  We only had a snack there once, but went back a couple of times for a takeaway on our way back from the pub.
