But pretty sure there wouldn't have been any malice behind it, just a lack of understanding.

The local Greek community certainly seems to keep them in business internet or no internet!<br /><br />Call it a lost in translation moment, or unfounded paranoia at worst, but they're a generally friendly bunch & in my experience dish up consistently tasty, traditional Greek fare without frills – just the way they like it.<br /><br />-- one of the regularsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694242322290076043.post-3302627724378172062012-02-16T11:05:16.497+11:002012-02-16T11:05:16.497+11:00I hate the "no photo" policy, especially...I hate the "no photo" policy, especially when they can't explain why.gaby @ lateraleatinghttp://lateraleating.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694242322290076043.post-61012064929990579872012-02-02T14:23:04.115+11:002012-02-02T14:23:04.115+11:00Update: Got wind that Kafenes has taken over at th...Update: Got wind that Kafenes has taken over at the Greek Macedonian Club in Marrickville.

They can't stop you from taking photos outside of the restaurant anyhow, not that it looks like you'll be back anytime soon.<br /><br />Nice work working around the issue though.

As we're Newtown locals we're also finding the content very relevant. We've also been to Kafenes a few times over the years with the kids and although it was a pleasant experience there hasn't been a reason to rush back.
