コルフ島での4日目。この日もゆっくりスタート。ランチは、前日にお世話になったお料理教室の先生の奥様からよく行かれるとお聞きして、「Pergola」に行ってみました。どこに行っても量が多すぎるので前菜とメインは食べられないので、メインを2種類オーダーしてシェアしました。

The 4th day in Corfu. We started slowly and went out before lunch. We decided to try “Pergola”, which is the restaurant that the wife of the cooking teacher on the day before said they take their visitors to. As most restaurants serve such large portions we cannot have a starter and a main so we ordered 2 mains and shared them.

このお店は安い方でしたが、メインはどれも大体15€50なので、日本円で2500円くらいと、やはり日本と比較するとかなりお高いです。

This restaurant was less expensive than where we’d been to previously but each main dish is €15.50, so still quite expensive comparing to Japan.

お肉ばかり食べている気がして、お野菜のお料理を1皿オーダーしました。どこのレストランでもお野菜のお料理はトマトとパプリカにお米を詰めたもの。ほとんどがお米でお野菜はあまりありませんが（笑）、お野菜料理って本当になかったです。これは、まずまず美味しかったです。

We felt we weren’t eating enough vegetables so decided to order a vegetable dish but there were not a lot of options. We had stuffed tomato and pepper with rice – so it was mostly rice rather than vegetables, but at least no meat. This tasted OK

もう1つは、これもどのレストランにもある「パスティツァーダ」、ビーフのトマト煮込みとパスタ。これは塩分が足らず、あまり味がなく、ビーフも煮込みたりず、全体に油っこかったです。お味は悪くはなかったので、もう一息煮込めば美味しいと思います。

The other one was another dish you see in almost every restaurant, “Pastitsada”, which is stewed beef (supposed to be rooster traditionally) in tomato sauce served with pasta. This didn’t taste of anything much because it wasn’t seasoned much and the beef wasn’t very tender and was qutie oily all over. It didn’t taste bad so if you season it properly and cooked the beef until tender it woud have been tasty.

平日の早めのランチだったこともありあまり人がいなくて、お店の方も愛想が良いとは言えず、正直なところあまり印象は良くなかったのですが、翌日、日曜日にたまたま通ったら大勢の方達で賑わっていて、まるで違うお店のようでした。

This was at lunch on a Saturday and there weren’t many customers and the staff (I think the owner) wasn’t very smiley so we didn’t have a very good impression. However when we walked here on the following day, which was a Sunday, at lunch time by chance it was full of people and it seemed like a different restaurant.
