I just learned there's a restaurant called Martika's Kitchen https://martikas-kitchen.com/
Definitely want to go to Cyprus and eat there, now

They must be, because I see they get a lot of rave reviews on Google  Me and my wife, who also love the song, decided we'll go to Cyprus and eat there next time we want to go on a holiday. Then I googled what kind of spiders they have in Cyprus and nearly died  But, hell, let's do it anyway A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ |

Presumably there's a veranda, because most people would prefer to eat out? blah blah blah |

Feel like a good moment to plug 'Starfish and Coffee' cafe in Brighton. |

Add a few others and maybe we can plan a Prince inspired restaurants world tour

It's somewhat cynical that both places use Prince titles to promote themselves, but neither is vegan or vegetarian, though  A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ |

I've heard it's a good place to "get some". | |

The head chef at Martika's kitchen is a woman called Martika. They might not have even known the song when they opened. Even if they did, there doesn't seem to be any other Prince mentions or references on their web site, so doesn't look like they're really using Prince to promote themselves. The Starfish & Coffee place though, tha'ts too random to be a coincidence. Then the huge Sign o the Times poster on the wall puts it beyonf any doubt.

My bet is they know the song and it's a direct reference, but the smart marketing move for a restaurant that seems to bet more on its cuisine than its image, as seems to be the case here, would be to not make a fuss about one little, long forgotten song on the website, while knowing the happy fews who get the reference will smile at the name. I'll probably ask them when we go there, though A COMPREHENSIVE PRINCE DISCOGRAPHY (work in progress ^^): https://sites.google.com/...scography/ |

Service Person: Hi! Would you like to order something to drink before your food order? . Databank: Yeah, do you have something juicy, but not too fishy? "Whatever skin we're in
