Brothers Nicholas and Pete Karidi’s taverna was built by their father and serves food inspired by their mother<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A GREEK restaurant and cocktail bar, built by a father, run by his sons and featuring food inspired by their mother’s recipes, has opened in Cathays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicholas and Pete Karidi are looking after the kitchen of Corfu by Night on Woodville Road which was built by their father, co-owner Prokopis Karidi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head Chef Nicholas Karidi, 25, said: \u201cWe built the restaurant ourselves. My dad has been a builder by trade all his life and none of the rest of us are builders, but we all worked on it for three or four months.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The restaurant first opened on the site of the former Sunset Cycles business on December 8th<\/sup>, and their JustEat service opened on Tuesday for those who want a taste of the Mediterranean from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Manager Alberto Sans, 42, said: \u201cThere was nothing here when we started, it was basically empty. We built everything: the floors, the toilets, the bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was really hard work, but it was an amazing feeling when it was all finished.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
