2005 Food Guides: Part II: Not very helpful

[John Talbott]

Again, my plea: Please buy these guides from your friendly local bookshop and use this summary as a prod to do so; they cost only 29 E and 5,70 E respectively and give more details than I can.

In general: the GaultMillau has stopped indicating new restaurants and Les Cantines de Julie Andrieu, not only does not list new restaurants (she gets a “bye” this year because it’s her first edition) but gives no grades, numbers, stars, hearts, etc., so it’s interesting if you’re looking for “simplicity, conviviality, intimacy and new tastes” in places (bistros, brasseries, restaurants, etc) she calls ‘cantines” but not for comparing her opinions with others. Therefore, I’ll only deal with the 2005 GM here.

Rules: in the GaultMillau, I’ll not list every restaurant but rather only those in Paros and surrounds that are listed as in some way as notable, noting:
