Cookoonari in full

Cookoonari sits back from the road in a garden, notably quieter and more intimate than the strip venues, usually with live music playing in the background. Big pork steaks, Greek salads and traditional desserts are the named dishes, and there is a small handmade jewellery shop on site.

It rates 4.4 on Google and 4.3 on Tripadvisor — solid rather than exceptional, and consistent across both.

One genuinely polarising detail from the reviews: a lot of resident cats roam between the tables. Diners either find it charming or do not, and there is very little middle ground. Worth knowing which camp you are in before booking.
