Kypriaki pita bread and a Lamb
Souviaki ($9.95) and Canadian in-
hibitions soon drift into gay
Mediterranean rhythms.

At Kypriaki, you'll see the office
accountant trading steps with the
restaurant’s belly dancer; the
longshoreman from = across the
road doing his best impression of
Zorba the Greek.

The restaurant’s bracing aromas
of olive oil, oregano and roasting
lamb, and its mammoth servings
of food are all faithful accom-
paniment to Kypriaki’s overall
Hellenic experience.

Its menu is short and sweet.

For the smaller appetite,
Kypriaki’s appetizer selection will
provide a good basic meal.

Pickled octopus ($4.25), with a
side of hot-buttered pita bread
($.95), is a lovely way to enjoy the
eight-limbed beast at its finest.

The tender meat is chopped into
small finger-thick pieces and serv-
ed beneath a simple oil, vinegar,
oregano dressing that is ideal for
hearty pita bread mopping.

Kypriaki homous (chickpea
mashed and spiked with garlic,
$2.95) is, again, excellent accom-
paniment to pita bread.

Entree selection sticks to the best
lamb, chicken and seafood tradi-
tions of Greek cuisine.

Size of servings also dates back
to the time of Odysseus.

A tested Kypriaki special Tiger
Prawns ($11.95) included six fist-
sized prawns, a large roast potato,
a serving of rice, several spears of
asparagus and assorted slices of
red and green pepper.

A Calamari entree ($9.95) came
similarly outfitted with its
generous portion of fried squid.

Both meals were good basic
Greek feasts.

Throughout the meal, Kypriaki

- throbbed to the twang of bouzouki

and an enthusiastic social hubbub.

The restaurant’s Greek sound-
track hit top volumes with the
sudden appearance of the

Kypriaki’s regular belly dancer.
Subsequent gyrations and hip
bumps and grinds stopped all din-
ing activities and inspired an in-
trepid few to join the dancer in a

- selection of novice belly moves,
Dessert followed dance with the

- ‘sampling of a Boureki ($2.50).
. Served hot, the dish features a
sweet cream custard filling in a
pocket of phyllo pastry dusted

THE QUEENS CROSS PUB gave a royal welcome to Count Franco
Luxardo (centre) on April 1 after the head of the Sambuca liqueur family
paid a visit to the pub and owners Ron Slinger (left) and David Raht. The
Count was eager to meet the two and pay tribute to the pub’s dedication
to serving the Italian anise liqueur. Sambuca has become a trademark

Queens Cross drink. Raht’s recipe for Italian Coffee has been enshrined °

on the back label of all Sambuca bottles.

Slinger estimates the pub goes through four to five cases of the liqueur
per month. Accompanying the Count was Nino Tomassi, Sambuca’s
representative in Canada.
