Gusto Review - Sapori Cafe

In between marriage preparations (yes! hubby and I are getting married!!) and keeping up with our family, friends and hobbies, we found ourselves in BKara with half and hour to spare and grumbling stomachs... out came Gusto.. and Sapori Cafe it was :)

The location: In Valley Road BKara, right next to McDonalds. Parking is easy after 7pm, but during shopping hours, it is somewhat more of a hassle! If coming by bus, the bus stop is right outside the Cafe. And if you're already shopping in the area, well there you have it!

The place: Small with modern, stylish decor. We instantly got the impression of a clean, well-kept place.. and the small chandeliers added some sparkle :)

The menu: Well-priced selection of salads, wraps, baguettes, pies, pastries, omelettes, pasta and pizza. On the drinks menu, the healthy smoothies really stand out. In fact, considering I'm not much of a salad person, I really enjoyed my Caprese :) and hubby was actually full after having the Greek salad!!

The staff: Curteous and polite :) Nothing to complain about at all :)

Gusto: We wandered in and asked about using our 50% off Gusto offer prior to being seated and it was immediately accepted. No prior booking or calling needed. We saved €6.50 off our super quick dinner, and considering the total bill only came to €11, we were rather pleased!

P's recommendation: Recently opened, I think this place is going to become popular fast owing to its good food, good service and good prices! And you can save 50% off your food bill by getting your Gusto card here!! :) Enjoy!

Gusto Review - Henry J Beans

A long day at work and a party planned for the evening :) Sounded fun until we realised that mainly nibbles would be served at the party and hubby and I were starving!! So out came Gustoand Henry J Beans was the place we chose for our pre-party mega-dinner… oh it was a great choice!

The location: Henry J Beans is found at the Corinthia Hotel in St. George’s Bay. If you’re early (like we were), parking is no hassle at all. Later on in the evening though, or on Saturday nights, your car has to be left a considerable distance away, unless you use the hotel’s parking area, come on foot or via motorbike :)

The place: Wonderfully decorated in an “all American” way and with visible big screens throughout the place to watch sport or the latest American shows (Disaster Date was on while we were there) :) It definitely provided lots of starting points for dinner conversation!

The menu: Let me say one thing: the portions are HUGE! We shared one starter – nachos with cheese which tasted great. We then had a burger each from their “Legendary Burgers” menu: one “Classic” and one “Mushroom and Jack Cheese”… yummy and so large we just could not finish our fries! To top everything off, we had scrumptious desserts: Mississippi Mud Pie and Hot Fudge Brownie – simply superb!

The staff: Generally helpful, efficient and unobtrusive. One particular member of the staff called Leighton deserves a special mention on the good side of things, while the man who took our reservation on the phone was somewhat brusque… but that can definitely be forgiven given our dinner experience at Henry J Beans!

Gusto: Got 50% off our food orders and saved €18 on an already good value-for-money selection :) Remember to call in advance and make a reservation, together with a mention of your intent to use the Gusto 50% offer.

P’s recommendation: For a meal in a relaxed atmosphere, when you’re starving and in the mood for an American hearty meal, Henry J Beans is the place to go! Oh, and their drinks and cocktails menu is a real treasure too! :) To save 50% off your food bill, get your Gusto Card here!
