The Ottoman Savoy has a casino - my daughter is there as an inspector.

It is behind schedule - should open in a week or so.

Go to Pine Bay and see Ahmet he is the owner of Pine Bay and Savoy. You might just catch him there if you are looking for work.

I ate at the Sarayburnu Restaurant yesterday and the food is excellent!



Mezes are very different from what you can find in other turkish restaurants.



It's a little expensive. They have a variety of good wines.



We ate chocolate as desert prepared by the french chef. It was different and good.



I would probably go there again next month

We've had a guided tour as far as the Pasha suites and the rooftop swimming pool, the place is fantastic. There are designer shops on ground floor too. All the ceilings have gold leaf inlaid in them. Ahmet must have had a cracking job in the police force as this place cost 53 million euros! (Allegedly).

Izzet, I presume you ate at the Sarayburnu restaurant? They are advertising a set menu at 45TL a head. Is there a separate menu as well as this?

Thanks

I hat to be a kill joy do they need another hotel/casino they moan because they can not fill the ones they have now or are they hoping to attract rich people to go to their casino and hope they will need a room for the night to get their moneys worth.

£100 for a bottle of Chardonnay must have been one hell of a vintage!

You'd have internal affairs round in no time in Blighty. Maybe he did a lot of overtime...

4 of us ate at the Sarayburnu restaurant last night and have to say we thought the food very average.



The 45TL 'set' menu is in the form of buffet food, with a separate al a carte menu, which we didn't peruse too much because of the prices, but there were some unusual selections on there.



The wine list is ridiculously expensive with 90TL for a Kavaklidere about the cheapest they had!



Considering the restaurant wasn't full the service was hit and miss; by the time it came to choosing our sweet, they had cleared the buffet, so we asked for a selection to be bought to the table. We had a plate with 3 pieces of 2 types of baklava put in front of us. There were two problems with this.



Surely someone would have noted that there was actually 4 of us at the table!! and the buffet selection was much bigger so we asked them to take it away and give us a 'proper' selection.



Wouldn't go back.



Hotel is very smart, mind you, and it feels a world away from the centre of Girne.
