Churchills - (Restaurants in Sidari)

David C           

Our third year at eating at Churhills, unfortunately this year I have to say things have gone down hill the quality of the food is NOT what it used to be. So we only ate here twice in the two weeks. the final straw was the fresh caught cod, it might have been fresh once but when it was served it was grey not white and very chewy, well the two mouthfulls i tried to eat, can however recomend the giant filled yorkshie, or even the corned beef pie. The portions are smaller this year probably to encourage the purchase of a desert, or more fluids, more profit i presume. still if it's english food you want you will not find much better in choice in the area.

Well here is a little GEM fantastic food, choice of english or greek, the owners George ( a Corfiot ) and Debbie his wife ( English ) are full of hospitality, our third year in the area wish we had found this place on our first year. the price is not the cheapest, but this is more than made up for by the quality and portion size. In Corfu like anywhere you get what you pay for, this is by no way an exspensive place do not get me wrong, else even I could not have visited as many times as my family did. Never had a bad meal of either country origin. 5*. Never had the Greek garlic bread anywhere else like it anyone going here you must try cooked on a baguette rather than a loaf, fantastic idea, great taste. To find this hidden gem you have to come out of canal d'mour for a good 10 min walk or get a taxi direct for only 5 euros. you will not be dissapointed.

Damias Yard - (Restaurants in Sidari)

Damia's yard is run by Spiros as Damia now runs a local hotel, Spiros her husband is very pleasing trying very hard to speak English ( it is a lot better than most peoples Greek that are visiting give him a chance). Can highly recomend the meze meals for two great value for money and most people are filled by this, comes with starter and a half caraffe of wine. Limited english menu but that is not what you go to damia's yard for. service by his female waitress Angela (we nicknamed her Tik Tok) is slow and can be awkward as she forgets things and has to come back and ask again, just makes for an evenings entertainment in its own. set just slightly outside of the main canal d'mour area, it is great as you are not pestered by the evening travelling band of guitar players. If you visit once you will go back, eat, relax and enjoy.

Damia's appartments / hotel, This is our 3rd year here and unfortunately this year I have to knock back on the cleanliness, we complained on the 3rd day about the standard of room cleaning, were told to leave it with Damia she would sort it she did she sacked one of the cleaners. On week 2 the towels were only changed once and the rubbish bin was also emptied the once leaving us to empty our own, not what we had come to expect from this complex. There is a local supermarket 500 metres away currently expanding and as we left the shelves were not full but growing on a daily basis. Beware with young children in any of the shops in the Sidari area as hard core porn (dvd's etc.) are on display sometimes next to toys. The compex is a good 25 min walk from the town but a 5 euro taxi ride is well worth the cost especially in the daytime heat. The pool is at the back of the complex so passing coaches etc can not overlook you, this is also a great suntrap area for the late afternoon / early evening. Damia and her family Spiros (husband, also runs the Damia's yard restaraunt in Canal d'mour) mum & dad (Lucy & Dimitri) her four children Dimitri, George, Nicco, & Luki will do their best to make sure you have a fantastic holiday. This year Damia is ending the contract with Cosmos, and going with Sunset and also going solo, she can be contacted on DAMIAHOTEL@YAHOO.gr please bear in mind that she is a busy lady and may take time to respond.

My previous listing for this complex showed inaccurate rating.

We loved it. Location Excellent. Quitness Excellent. Cleanliness Good.
Please note this is a family run complex and is usually very quiet from about midnight onwards. this is not a complex for the noisy 18-30 crowd. But more for a chill out and relax holiday.
 so sad to go home!!
