WNI\IRA\TS MYKONOS I TAVERNA Yes I know, it has been difficult to get into | MYKONOS. But the Christmas rush is over, this is i a whole new year, and contrary to rumour they | are NOT booked out. If you have visitors, are on I holiday in the city, or just feel like going out, k MYKONOS is a must. MYKONOS is Greece—but « our summer brings forth peppers, courgettes, egg M plant, lemons—the food of Greece in abundance | —and the chef is in a constant whirl of joyous £ recognition. Try the Papoufsakia—it means 'little B shoes,' but it is really courgettes filled with spiced | beef, topped with tomatoes and kefalotiri cheese. P Enjoy the food, the atmosphere, the simplicity. | the fun that is MYKONOS. 112 A Lichfield St. Phone 797-452. BYO.

LAMPLIGHTER $ RESTAURANT. Chateau Regency. Phone 488-999. Full licence; The sound of the sea and the view of the Pacific rollers provide the most Incredible background for this Sumner beachside restaurant. It Is an easy informal restaurant with the emphasis ori freshness. Fresh fish particularly. I saw crays still kicking and clawing about In crates. Kumiko Black was brought up In a small Japanese fishing village and she is expert in the buying, preparing and cooking of fish. Their seafood bisque has devoted followers who are going to hate me for spreading the word; the grills especially the combination grills like lobster and steak are delicious. Many of the dishes have a Japanese flavour and you can have a full Japanese meal If you order a day in advance. BEACHCOMBER, Sumner. Phone Sum. 6592. BYO. ' From little fish, big fish grow.
