Service was top, Aristoteles helped us with everything. Nice guy! The food was very good as well, especially the lamb which was very tender.

Raki cocktails they are a true delight (and being raki affiliated with the restaurant the cocktails seem more affordable). We also have the slow cooked baby goat which was the best we've had so far.

Delicious meal - one of the best we had in Crete. Creative Cretan cuisine highlights include the zucchini flowers and pork

authentic restaurant with a very nice décor. The service is friendly and the food is very tasty. The monastery style baked vegetables and the stuffed zucchini flowers are delicious

Service was great and the food was truly lovely. The ham starter was the absolute star for me. Their craft beers are also rather delightful. Nice to see goat on the menu, and so well cooked.

Authentic place, tasty food and professional service for a reasonable price. Smoked pork chops and the creamy risotto with meat were amazing

Awesome local traditional food served in a authentic and elegant way. The service is super good and the wine list vast and with good choices.

Exceptional restaurant. A real gem for locals and tourists alike. Cretan cuisine at its best. I particularly liked their zucchini starter, goat dishes, cheesecake and homemade herb refreshments.

Simple menu but everything is way more than delicious, even the balsamico and olive oil on the table. We had creten salad, zuchini flowers and goat with yogurt, perfect.

Beyond charming scenery, great service and cretan cuisine served in an inventive way.We feasted on every dish both by using our sight and our taste.Will definitely come back to this one!

I've been living in Greece for 6 months, and this is the best restaurant I've found anywhere. Go here, and order everything!!

Everything. Octopus with fava, blue crab, dessert. A special kind of home made halva and roses Raki on the house ♥
De NeesJune 11, 2018
Everything we tried was just amazing. The portions are good, so keep it in mind when you want to try them all :)

The goat in yogurt is a must!! The risotto as well, the greek sticks with cheese, the fig sauce is to Die for, I don't even like figs, but this is amazing!!
Nikos KoulourisAugust 17, 2015
One of the best traditional Cretan restaurants in Iraklio. If you are looking for real traditional dish you will find an excellent servise with tasty food. Snails, grasess, traditional cheeses.
Ioannis PanagiotopoulosAugust 25, 2014
Great location... Graphic little street. Food was superb. Appetizers came out in no time. Everything we tried was so delicious. Zucchini flowers with cheese where unexpectedly delicious....
Gözde GezenMay 29, 2019
The food, atmosphere, friendly staff. Especially thanks to Vasilis we have been here 3 times during our visit. (Dolma, graviera cheese and the red wine are great)
Jenna ChuckJuly 5, 2016
Order the Cretan cheese plate! It can easily feed six. All the cheeses are delicious and made from their farm.
Barbara PJuly 6, 2019
The bread is delicious, the starters are good. Try the aubergine, grain and cheese dish or the stuffed zucchini flowers.
Maria LitvinenkoJuly 12, 2017
One of the best on Crete. Goat with yogurt is a must!!!! ( the portion is not so big). Zucchini flowers are also interesting. Cheese cake was made for Gods!!
JupiterNovember 23, 2018
Everything is good. Food, service, environment, staff, management, prices.Congrats. Really.
Robert ModernistJune 21, 2017
Verry good authentic dishes. It's hard to find a better restaurant for Crete local cuisine... a little bit more expensive, but it is worth of it.
Nikolai StulovJuly 28, 2015
Authentic, quiet & slow. They offer vegetarian and vegan dishes. The "traditional" food is pretty much the same as everywhere, but more tasty, named differently and served with grace. Pay a visit
AleAugust 23, 2019
A must to try in Crete! Glazed pork with honey and thyme
Vicki KolovouSeptember 4, 2018
An awesome experience. The staff was attentive and the food excellent! Almost every single plate was perfect. I loved how they dug up old rare recipes.

We loved everything we ordered. Greek salad, Cretan vegetarian special, sausages. Farm to table, wonderfully prepared. Perfect friendly service, of course.

Every dish is very well thought out,keeping the traditional cretan tastes but with a gourmet twist! Amazing relaxing atmosphere with a cozy feeling

I am Cretan and I love our food. This is where I eat since my grandma died . The best Cretan dishes you will find
Hornyák OlivérJuly 12, 2017
Excellent! Everything perfect! They gave us a lot of extra food on the house. Great value for money! The place looks lovely! Love this place!
Dey BMay 7, 2016
My husband's phrase after finishing our meal: "how I am supposed to eat again after this?Is out of any written rules". I consider this place out of this world! ASOLUTELY AMAZING😋😋😋
Megan O’ConnorAugust 21, 2019
Hands down one of the best meals. Everything was fresh and fantastic and the service was equally good
Sonia De MelloJune 18, 2017
Food is excellent, ambiance is beautiful and service is great! A must try when in Heraklion
Alexandros PlexidasAugust 22, 2017
I felt that our dinner here was less enjoyable than when this place opened, 3 years ago. Food is still good and more creative than elsewhere but the place is always busy and lost its ambience.
Oleksandr LAugust 8, 2021
Amazing menu, Very delicious food, supper taste, reasonable price, perfect atmosphere. Local recipes. Recommend for dinner.
Ghassan's GlassesJuly 7, 2017
Great place food and staff, loved the snail platter and mostly the zucchini flower and the salad 👍🏻 ,,, ask for chosmas , he will make feel like a king
Marilia🐾 PitharouliJuly 21, 2016
So much fuss for no reason in my opinion. Tasty food but nothing innovative or out of this world. The staff is friendly and attentive. On the downside we had to wait for 45' in order to be seated.
Shawn HJune 23, 2018
Amazing. Zucchini flowers, farm salad, syglino, and bread were all excellent. Definitely would come back here on our next visit.
RamXII ...September 5, 2018
Fantastic at every level! From staff to food and drinks, amazing quality and great attention to details! Thank you so
Stratos ParaskevaidisApril 7, 2018
Amazing food and atmosphere, 'kreokakavos' is very good. Prices are very good and portions are big.
Maxine VanhoutteSeptember 21, 2017
Amazing food (especially the pork meat). Very cosy place with a terrace in the back. Not expensive at all, definitely recommended!
Lukáš MoravecMay 12, 2018
