Next time you're in the coral bay/Peyia area, treat yourself to a good breakfast at Philippos Coral Bay Cafe above the supermarket.
2 rashers proper bacon.
1 nice sausage
1 "beef" tomato halved and fried
baked beans
mushrooms
1 fried egg
Scrambled egg
2 pieces toast and butter
Large mug builder's tea
Glass Orange Juice
Total bill €2.95!!!!
All served with a cheery smile by a lady with a nice face and a lovely bum!
And the bogs were immaculate as well!

Scoff this lot and you won't need anything else until tea time.

That sounds like the best price yet that's been mentioned on this forum for an English breakfast in Paphos! You don't get many that include a drink in the price, let alone orange juice and tea...

Do you have to shop there ?

No need to shop there. The cafe is upstairs - we often pop in for a drink and a snack and have seen the breakfasts - great value for money!

I have asked Philip, the manager, to include Black Pudding, he sells it down below in the refrigerated cabinets. It's Lancashire made, the right stuff. That will upset all the Yorkshiremen. I'm from Sussex.

I hope it's from Bury, Clive?
Just 4 miles up the road from my home town back in UK....

Not a patch on Stornoway Black pudding

Sorry but for me it's Cumberland Sausage, Cumberland Black Pudding and Cumberland dry cure bacon all the way!

I once went out with a guy from Leith in Edinburgh for a couple of years when he was studying to be a barrister at Uni in Manchester and working part time as a teacher of quantity surveying at Preston Poly.

He was just a few months away from taking his barristers' 6 month pupillage at Lincolns Inn Fields in London when one day he rubbed me up the wrong way so much by always whining about how in Manchester "the bacon wasn't the same, the sausages weren't the same, the bread wasn't the same" as in Scotland - that I told him why didn't he just eff off and go back to bloody Scotland and leave me in peace.

We parted company not too long after that...

Needless to say, he's a very successful barrister now and living in London. But I guess he's still missing his Scottish bacon, sausages and bread

That is tremendous value & at the other end of the scale there is this (someone actually did it )

Given that I am probably one of those average Brits today who weighs 3 stone more than the average Brit 50 years ago, can anyone recommend a good value healthy breakfast in Paphos? ...

Vicky, my Mum & Dad used to live in Silverdale and the butcher there made THE best Cumberland sausage, (slavering, just thinking)

Everyone always thinks their butchers sausage is the best!

My Mum owned a hotel and we got it from our local butcher (who was also a good customer) along with all our other meats - everything was just so local and fresh.

I do have to say though that Kolios' attempt at a Cumberland Sausage is rather tasty and far from disappointing!

I've never liked Cumberland sausage and to be truthful, it wouldn't bother me if I never had sausages again.

After working on the Deli counter at Asda from the age of 15 after school Wed, Thurs, Fri night and all day Saturday I ended up with so much juice and brine from the sausage trays getting them down from the trolleys they came out of the delivery vans on, I cannot stand the smell of sausage meat any more. I worked there right up until I started full time work in the Civil Service a couple of months after my 18th birthday.

Sausage rolls, I can eat - but only when they are cold and chilled because they don't smell quite so "sausagy". Hot sausage rolls just turn my stomach.

I still quite like beef sausages as long as they're skinless. Not keen on sausages with skin on at all.

As a rule, if there's a sausage on my breakfast plate it will make its' way quite rapidly across to my husbands' plate.

If you buy your meat and sausages from a reputable butcher then you are highly unlikely to find a pig's eyelash or unmentionable part in the mix. I'd never buy supermarket meat if I could help it and never ever their sausages!

Yes, we partook of the breakfast recommended by the OP at Philippos - instead of the fried egg and bacon I was given two extra sausages. Tea and coffee are included in the €2.95, but I paid extra for the hot chocolate. The orange juice was so nice next time I won't have the hot chocolate. After we ate we read the complementary UK newspapers. Yet, again the toilets were immaculate. For the first time ever I stuck to my shopping list downstairs - the advice to shop after you have eaten worked!
