Thank goodness.. Barrie and I thought it was just us.. When we went the service was really slow. Barrie had a very small and badly cooked steak. mine was an overcooked lasagne. ..We went a couple of weeks later and were tempted by the all day breakfast before we set off to the airport. . again not good. There was only us in and we waited ages for the coffee and then half an hour for the breakfast.. which wasn't hot..  I have friends there who think it is great so no accounting for taste again.

I certainly don't believe everything I read on Trip Advisor

And quite rightly so!

What a shame. Another one which seemed to start very well, just to sit back on their laurels and don't realise that once set, the standard has to be maintained. Trip Advisor, I have commented twice on it, to the best of my knowledge, and one of those was for a dire experience which I was so annoyed about, had to sound off somewhere and the other at the request of a restaurant we frequent frequently, at their request. It is so blatantly contrived I cannotremember the last time I looked on it and would certainly not be swayed by postings on it. My time is so much more precious.   :)

I certainly don't believe everything I read on Trip Advisor, there are a lot of comments that should be taken with a large pinch of salt!     ;)

So it would seem as there is a now a new number one restaurant in Calis according to TA, a bakery, Babafirins.

Curious, it's number three when I look.  Number one is Gelato Bianco in Hisaronu, MB second and Baba Firin third.

Or are you meaning in Calis from the list?

But Baba Firins is at best a coffee bar.  So how it leads the restaurant section is beyond me, other than I suspect it is a fiddle.

The methodology employed by Tripadvisor for reviews is beyond most folks. 

As regards to fiddles - if I opened a greasy spoon tomorrow I guarantee I could have it at number one in most towns (harder in large cities) within three weeks, a month tops.  It may cost a couple of hundred quid, but as a marketing exercise it would be a cracking return.  It's not difficult, when you know how.
