Jan 2012 -  Dreaming by David Arran

Dreaming of that perfect driver?
Win ten thousand’, not a fiver?
Smiling Awfulnides’ girl
Soon my head is in a whirl!

View a tree, it’s full of sparrows
Never guns or bows and arrows
Sunlight plays upon the sea
Butterfly or busy bee!

Sunday morning, no more shooting
Tiny owl and he’s still hooting!
Pinch myself, it’s really calm
Odourless the large goat farm?

Hands on ‘wheel, a Mazda passing
No one on the phone is gassing!
‘Let’s me in and…. then he smiles
This one on my special files?

Elgar soothing, cello playing
Wondrous palms are gently swaying
Smoothest roads without a hole
England….scoring winning goal?

Scaling Troodos heights, no panting?
‘Find walk leader quite enchanting?
Not one negative complaint
Gosh, I think I’m going faint!

K.C. office, no one smoking
‘Bet all think: “You must be joking!”
Stale tobacco atmosphere
Soon be lighting up I fear?

Culinary “palace greeting
Tweedie’s, greatest place for eating  (Kissonerga’s pride!)
Wide awake… this is no dream
Of all restaurants…. the Cream!

Nov 2010 - Hi Guys,

We just wanted to say a huge well done and thank you for putting on such a superb gourmet evening.

The service and food as always, absolute perfection. The presentation of each dish was faultless, which can’t have been easy when trying to serve 30 people at once.

We really enjoyed listening to your wine experts description of the wines served. Congratulations and wishing Tweedies another successful year ahead.

September 2010 - Ode to Tweedie’s

Kissonerga, the place to eat
Tweedie’s, where fine diners meet
Atmosphere relaxed and calm
Soon fall under Tweedie’s charm

Freshest food, it’s all home-cooked
Soon to Tweedie’s you’ll be hooked
Friendly and a cosy place
Dining at a gentle pace.

Tasty dishes, varied fare
Cooked with lots of love and care
Intimate the dining here
Lighted by a chandelier.

Hilary and Craig, the team
River Severn pub’ their dream?
Drawn to Cyprus by the sun
Restaurant soon Number One.

Tapas with a glass of wine
Fresh caught tuna on the line
Time to join the Pudding Clan
Clafoutis or cheesecake fan?

Even have their own Cook School
Make a chef from novice “fool”
Pasta making, chicken, fish
Veggie food, if that’s your wish.

“Eat to live or live to eat?”
Dining here: a special treat
Cous cous with Moroccan lamb
Duckling or delicious ham.

Tweedie’s for discerning guest
Ambiance, it is the best
Tantalising, tasty food
Guaranteed to raise your mood.

EILEEN AND DAVID ARRAN

As I have said before on other foodie posts, this is our very favourite restaurant in the Paphos area. It's nice to know others appreciate it too. The food is so good it bears no relationship to the rubbish you often get in so called traditional tavernas (a few however are better than most and shouldn't be called rubbish - a bit 'samey' though and not very good).

The vegetarian dishes are 'proper meals' and not just veggie burgers, salad and chips, or other vegetarian excuses!

“My Favourite Restaurant.”

My tastes are simple but hard to please
Preferring fresh, not from the deep freeze.
Nicely presented on a hot plate
Cooked to perfection, always first rate.
A lot to ask from many places
Where you are greeted with surly faces

Now I have found one that is perfect,
I’m tempted to keep it a secret.
Cos I can’t have food perfectly cooked,
If the place is always fully booked.
The service and smile from Hilary;
The gourmet cuisine from Craig Tweedie.

Eating Out by Willowby King

I am a soup fan and the “Cream of Onion” soup special was absolutely stunning. It sounds boring but it was Michelin Guide good! We have tried the pasta and the steak, both were A1 and the selection of vegetables that don’t arrive on the plate is always welcome. All was cooked to perfection and the smells waft from the kitchen.

Nov 2011 - Dear Hilary and Craig,

We visited your restaurant for the first time on Saturday night and truly had the most fantastic evening, the food was divine, the service excellent and the ambiance delightful! We all enjoyed it so much we came back on Sunday for lunch......equally delightful.

I am only ashamed to say that it has taken me so long to take note of all the excellent comments I had heard over the years and act on them....I am already looking forward to my next visit! Thank you so much for providing Paphos with such an excellent restaurant

best wishes, Lesley & Dave

Oct 2011 - My husband and I were lucky enough to book a last minute table at your lovely restaurant last Friday evening.

We just wanted to Thank You for a wonderful evening. Everything about your restaurant is just perfect and if only we didn't live 2000 miles away in the UK we would be VERY regular customers. I very much hope that when we visit Cyprus again we will be making a booking with you almost before we book our flights.

Kind Regards Cheryl & Colin

June 2011 - We ate at your restaurants with friends last Thursday and would just like to congratulate you all on an excellent meal. We all enjoyed the atmosphere, service and food very much. We will definitely make a return trip to you when we go to Cyprus again.

Many thanks and keep up the good work. Sue

Dec 2010 - On behalf of the group I'd like to thank and congratulate you on the splendid feast that you set before us. Several members commented to me how much they enjoyed it, and some specifically mentioned the pudding!

We hope that you have a wonderful and rewarding xmas season and look forward to seeing you again on 25th of January.

Best wishes, Jeremy

Dear Hilary and Craig,

I would just like to thank you very much indeed for your great hospitality and expert instruction on Tuesday. I thouroughly enjoyed what will become, I am sure, one of my most memorable days in Cyprus and we both had great fun at the lunch.

I am telling my friends all about it and will be demonstrating such things as leek brushes and delicious marinades.

Thanks again,

We four students went well together and I am sure that we will remain friends. John and Alison joined us at our Kamares Wine Society meeting last night so we will be in touch more.

Thanks again,

I feel I should mention this place again, went the other night and once again the food, service was fantastic there's a new menu for the summer, the extra touches, eg the home made bread and Hilary even put some table confetti out which was really thoughtful, just make it that bit more special.

Tweedies Restaurant is well known around town
With a reputation that is of great renown.
People travel miles, from near and far
To sample the cuisine that goes far beyond par.
Keith Floyd and Gordon Ramsey were very aggrieved
When they tried to book in, but didn’t succeed!
Booking is essential, so they say,
“Sorry, full up. Try another day”.

........Portions were generous, we had no room for desserts but ordered two and five forks just to try. All loved the lemon and lime pie. Although the space is small, tables were placed far enough apart so that other diners are seen but not heard. No one smoked inside or used their cell phones.......
