Great choice of traditional greek meals.
The food is prepared on wood and super tasty, the staff is lovely.
Only the placemebt of the tables could be re-arranged for better atmosphere.

It was a great experience to eat here! The food was prepared fresh and the meat was cooked perfectly with a nice flavour. Would come again or recommend without hesitation.

Fantastic tzatziki, kebab, cretan salad, bouyiourdi with kavourma and grilled shrimps - I can't praise this hidden gem enough :)!!! wonderful service, delicious food and reasonable prices. Thank you for your kindness and friendly smile. Definitely come visit this place !







The Greek Restaurant is located in a charming alley near the sea, surrounded by trees, which makes for an impressive setting. The ambiance, being so close to nature, is quite peaceful. The calamari and octopus are particularly well-prepared and very tasty. For those who love seafood, these two options are definitely recommended. However, the mezes were unfortunately average and not very impressive.
The service was quite slow, which was a disappointment. Even the menu arrived late at our table, which affected our experience negatively. While we were expecting quick and efficient service, the slowness diminished the overall enjoyment. With improved service quality, this beautiful location could become a much more delightful place.

Underwhelming food experience at higher than average prices. Gets a lot of good reviews and is popular with the Greek lunch crowd but having had lunch at close to a hundred places in Greece I'd say they put too much effort on appearance and not enough on the kitchen.






This local Greek restaurant serves amazing food that will leave you craving for more. However, the staff and organization can be a bit chaotic, which might affect your dining experience. Nevertheless, the exceptional flavors make it a worthwhile culinary adventure.







The food was good, service was pretty fast. We had a bit of a wait, about 10 minutes then when our order was taken everything came out pretty fast. They bring it out as it’s ready so we had to wait to eat a few things until the other component came out. But it was so hot and fresh we didn’t have a problem with it. Big portions, well cooked.







Amazing traditional Greek food! We tried the octopus which was well cooked and tasted amazing among the sauce (hummus and olive oil), then we had shrimps with sauce and fried pan calamari.
Everything was amazing, seasoned perfectly. and well cooked. Happy that we chose to eat here!

Before even going to Greece, we were planning to go here because of mouth-to-mouth talks. We were not disappointed! People working there were very kind and helpful. The food was amazing! You get complementary bread and lemons for the food and dessert. Even when it started to rain (pour even with lightning), it didnt ruin the atmosphere and the feeling here.




We visited this meze tavern twice. One for lunch and once for dinner. Everything was great.
Food portions are big and full of flavors. Taste was really good on both seafood and meat dishes. At the end of your meal they offer you dessert.
All waiters were also amazing. Kind and outgoing without exaggerating. Respectful on your personal space but making a good impression.
Unfortunately, I don't have more photos now, but trust me, this palce is worth visiting!

I enjoyed the meal. Good quality espresso. The grilled halloumi was perfectly sliced and cooked. The meatballs were hot and I liked the flavour of the tomato sauce. The texture could have been better. It was very busy but I did feel like the service let it down a bit. They served others who arrived after me before. Maybe they could use more staff at mid afternoon. They bought me free dessert which was a nice touch. Lively, authentic atmosphere. They provided me with an English menu which was great.





Delicious food, big portions and very good prices compared to other restaurants in the area. Highly recommended! The only downside is that you might have to wait a bit more to order as the place is always very busy





I said let's try this restaurant because they have almost all kinds of traditional Greek food. The food is super good, the portions are quite large and the prices are ok for the quality of the food. The fish was very fresh, the orange salad insane. I received from the restaurant 2 appetizer salads and fresh bread and at the end 2 glasses of liqueur ... something after the meal, with a superb taste. If I stayed a few more days, I wouldn't fit in the driver's seat anymore 🤣🤣









Overall a nice place for Greek food! Service is ok, nothing to complain about but wasn't especially good either.
The grilled sardines and zucchini were great, spicy cheese, and the steak.
The Greek salad - not a fan of that style, so can't recommend it but it wasn't bad. I'm sure there are more interesting salads.
The pork meat was super dry but I was told that's how you make it... The souvlaki was a bit better but also a bit dry for me.
The steak however was more juicy 🤤

An incredible dining experience! The service here is unbelievably fast, and the food is not only delicious but also served with a smile by the friendly staff. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal and fantastic service.












Authentic Greek meze. One the best in Thessaloniki
Wide choice of freshly made small plates & seafood. Best was the grilled red mullets and calamari. Marinated seafood is slightly too salty. Most are dishes are pretty good.

Delicious food at a very fair price in the middle of the city. Service was nice even on stressful days (we went on new year's eve). Vegan options like baked beans or grilled mushrooms are available, and the variety is wider than other restaurants in the area. The ambience is very Greek and typical, very recommended!


Sometimes there is no table to sit at. Seftelia is so delicious. The appetizers is satisfying and overrich. Everything is perfect with this restaurant. The staff is always nice.


Very good kitchen, friendly staff. All of them can speak English and they smile (!) which is rare in my country. The price level is reasonable. They even offered a free dessert at the end. I can highly recommend this restaurant.







Amazing place. The food was really fresh and delicious!The service was unmatched. Thank you again for one our favorite meals in Crete!We'll definetely be back.

So nice and wonderful place in Crete! Especially, Fried squids are really really delicious and my first squids in my life. And really kind and helpful.




Lovely place

Amazing theming, absolutely loved that, and the workers are very kind and fast! Food was also amazing, rating it four stars because my flat iron steak was delayed and came out a little colder than expected. Overall very good! Would recommend


Taste food, the octopus was a little overcoocked, but the other dish was nice


Good vibe, local flavours, greek music, nice people

Beautiful quiet spot. Romantic and quaint. Here I experienced the best meal I have had in Crete. The almond chicken was amazing. Excellent service and food. Spotless restaurant and toilets. Can’t recommend this place enough
Thank you for Ann amazing meal

Wow.....this establishment is super awesome....the atmosphere is so nice and the service was astoundingly good. The whole street is packed with similar eateries but we came here with local friends who said this is the best and one of their favourites. Food was delicious 😋 and didn't hurt the wallet either.
Highly recommend 🫶🏼💯

Very friendly owner of the place and very delicious food. We also got fried egg, fresh vegetables and sweets as extra for our kid. Really nice!

One of the best places in Crete I visited. The kebab was really superb. A must try!

Nettes Lokal, nur Einheimische, kleine Gerichte, lecker, zu kleinen Preisen, sehr freundliches Personal





If you are looking for cheap, good food in Chania, try here ...
+ Our waiter was super cool, friendly and polite*
+ It is definitely good value for money, one of the cheapest places of our Crete trip 👍
+ Nice picturesque location in Chania narrow streets and also cool visual design of the interior ...
+ Food was ok but nothing special ...
- Google Maps says it is the restaurant with small portions - NOT TRUE, THEY ARE HUGE ☝️😯🙂
*we misuderstood quantities of raki order so we got 2,5 dcl of raki for me and my girlfriend + 1 dcl "on the house 😆🤷♂️😯

We ate here two nights. First night was slow cooked lamb and tonight was slow cooked pork. The food was wonderful. Fell off the bone. Succulent. Service is top notch and very friendly staff. Servings are large. Incredible value for money and is set in the very vibrant dining area.

Delicious food and friendly service! We ate feta cheese with beef, sheep cheese and traditional Cretan rusk with tomatoes and feta. Everything was amazing! Highly recommended!


This place is a recreation of the postwar Era bakaliko, a place were you could buy groceries but also have some meze with ouzo or home made wine. At Galanis you will not buy groceries but you will get lot of mezedes. All dishes we tasted were very decent but nothing extraordinary. The staff very polite and fast ready to serve all our requests. The place is not very nice, being just by the road with cars passing by all the time, but the atmosphere is very nice. Dishes to taste definitely the potato salad, kavourma omelet, the eggs with the local cheese, the pitarakia and the snails with cheese and rosemary. Prices were on the cheap side compared with other places on the island.



Delicious local menu with a home-cooked feel. Top notch service. Would recommend the potato.



Third time i ate there.
Each time,the food i've received being salads,their Dakos ,grilled mushrooms prawns,lamb chops,all have been amazing. Genuine,perfectly seasoned & cooked food like the one you get in Crete.
Very reasonable prices and generous portions as well so all has been proportionate.
They also offer a treat in the end of the dinner,sweets and tsikoudia.
I highly recommend this place that must be one of the few in Ladadika that serve authentic dishes from what i've experienced in that area so far.

Cool, laid back restaurant set in the old village grocery store. The quality of the food was a step up from most places we had on our trip. The staff were fun and attentive. Our favourite restaurant during our trip to Greece.


Everything was perfect. Homemade taramosalata, perfection. Scorpina fish is unbelievable. Galanis in Milos is a must.


Sehr schöne, kreativ gestaltete Taverne, die bunten Stühle fallen schon von weitem auf, zentral in einer Seitengasse gelegen. Sehr freundlicher Wirt, Speisekarte mehrsprachig. Das Essen war so lecker, daß leider kein Foto, außer vom griechischen Salat entstanden ist. Die Calmari, das Tsaziki und das Mousakka haben leider kein Foto mehr bekommen, weil es so schnell leer war. Schöne Hintergrundmusik, es macht Freude hier zu sitzen.




Quality Grandma’s style food. Excellent quality, great service, in the heart of the old town!



Beautiful meal and experience, really enjoyed having lunch here, it's like being at your grandparents home, ευχαριστώ






The food is freshly cooked. Traditional food, prepared by the local Mum. The menu has lots of options and everything I tried was delicious. The atmosphere is homely and warm. Staff were polite and kind.

Brutally disappointed
I don't care that everyone smokes in Greece but I do care when the owner is smoking Inside his restaurant and doesn't care. It's gross and disgusting and really set the tone for my disappointment
Was not offered nor did I get any water which is extremely unusual.
The waiter, who is apparently quite new, said the best item on the menu was the 'oven baked potatoes'. When I asked him ' If you're so new, how do you know it's the best?' He replied, ' That's what the owner told me to say'.
The oven baked potatoes were two potatoes in half with olive oil and desperately needed salt.
The shepherd's pie was the best part of the meal even though it was extremely bland and underwhelming.
The menu is extremely small. No real main courses to speak of. If you're looking for a filling meal, this is not the place.
Do not recommend. Will not go back. Kind of have to go to the bathroom real bad.

The food here was absolutely amazing! Tucked away, has a lovely atmosphere. We came back the next night. Best food we’ve had in Greece.



Had a Dakos which was delicious and smoked pork with mustard which was OK (the meat is a bit dry for my personal taste but the restaurant owner did warn me). Restaurant owner is lovely.
Have not tried many places but the best food I've had here so far and affordable.

Very nice and very good food! Attention: the portions are huge (at least for us), we unfortunately couldn’t finish everything 😁 interesting school themed design








An extremely lively restaurant situated on a side street of the old town Chania. Tables were placed on both sides of the street. The atmosphere was buzzing, noisy but fun. Obviously very popular with people of all ages.
The waiters we're friendly, very busy but efficient.
A comprehensive menu but not over large.
The food for our party of 4 did not disappoint, but make sure you are really hungry as portion sizes are large! The food is excellent, delicious and we'll presented. There is a good selection of drinks available too.

The place has some good options for food, but they're overpriced for the amount of food that you get. The pita and zucchini balls we're good, but the grilled octopus was quite small in quantity and burnt. Recommend not getting seafood at this place. We ordered a lot of dishes, but were still not satiated.

Very nice non-touristy tapas (mezedes) place, lots of locals.





Best dinner in Milos, great price and quality.
Service is top notch too

It was my 6th visit and I can honestly say that it's my station every time that I come from Cyprus . It was lunch time and I think I ordered enough for 4 people and we were only 2 . Keep up the good work guys . Crete cuisine rocks . The value for money ratio is excellent .

A superb restaurant serving delicious local food. It is run by a communist but don't let that put you off - Dimitris is full of integrity and committd to awesomely good local food. The photos adorning the walls read like a who's who of Greek culture, theatre and communism. Portions are big, the salad is enormous and the complimentary food (and alcohol just keeps flowing). One chooses what one wants from the menu, writes it on an order pad and gives it to Dimitris who then prepares it. If you want more it's on the house. Everything is freshly cooked, local and in good amounts. The traditional Cretan sausage is sublime especially with the local mustard. Expect kindness and attentiveness and just enjoy an eating experience from bygone days.

In the old market of Heraklion, where various little meze-restaurants are located in the narrow streets, this place offers an enjoyable eating place, especially at noon. Their tsikoudia, is among the best I've drank and their meze acceptable.
Their toilet, is a disaster! Use the one in their other shop across the street! Moderately priced.

This is a jewel in the centre of Chania. Breakfast, lunch or dinner - this small restaurant provides beautiful portions of great food from pies to salads to main dishes - we shared a wonderful fried pork. Great flavoured food with wonderful staff. Brilliant.



The staff and food presentation were impressively fancy, but the grilled and fried chicken tasted like they were competing in a heavyweight meaty championship—I couldn't handle it and ended up paying for the privilege of staring at my uneaten meal. If you're brave enough to order chicken, approach with caution, or you might find yourself in a poultry predicament!

Amazing traditional Greek food! We had tzatziki, Pastitsio and assorted meat skewers, all of which were amazing! There was live music while we dined and our servers were lovely. Highly recommend this restaurant!! Would have taken photos but we got to excited to eat the delicious food.

This place!! Incredible food. Hands down the best kebab we’ve ever had. Don’t even hesitate, you need to come here. Immediately. Loved that it was located central enough but out of the hustle and bustle of the city center.















Lunch time at the old city of Chania.. a small restaurant, we dishes full of flavour at least what we taste. Soft pork cooked with black beer.. meat pies with cheese.. spicy soft cheese, local apaki with grape syrup and vegetable pie with fennel. Portions could be bigger but the idea of this place is to take small more plates and share...






Great place, good food, very nice staff, after dinner we got free rakia with ice cream.





Great food, with fresh ingredients and excellent service! thank you Anna!!




Extremely delicious food, they did renew their menu this year and everything now is very well presented and very delicious. Definitely try their Zucchini Meatballs and Fried potatoes with truffle oil, extremely delicious, and the prices are decent. Definitely recommend it

Famous for its little dishes serving a variety of snacks (meat chunks, vegetables, legumes, etc.).





Popular and overcrowded koyzina! All food we eat on the place is very tasteful, portions big and one enough for two. Salad with smoked potatoes and apace - my recommendation The service is excellent.

It was more like drink(tsikoudia) and small dishes (mezedes).





Nice little Greek tavern in the heart of Heraklion old town, with a lot of other restaurants nearby. Somehow it seemed pleasant enough for us to want to sit and have a lunch there.
The service was attentive and effective. The food and wine were good, even though portion sizes were rather small. Prices were reasonable for the location.
Raki and sweet cherries at the end were a pleasant surprise complimenting our visit.

For us, the Old cafe is located in the nicest area of Iraklion. Just around the corner of your the square where the Agios Minas Cathedral is located and not only tourists but also a lot of locals. We were looking for a place to have lunch and wanted to have some small bites to share (Meze).
This place is perfect for that. It has a small menu with different (local) cheese and meat, and small traditional dishes like Dakos. Friendly people and straight forward, good quality food!

The food was nice, however we waited almost two hours to get it and the portions were somewhat small for the size. If the place was packed or there would have been communication about this, it would have been one thing but there was no indication and we even saw people next to us leave due to the long waiting time.






Mitten in Thessaloniki authentische Taverne?
Ja geht. Hier. Kretisches Essen mit super nettem Service. Kein Kaffee aber leckeres Essen und ein Dessert aufs Haus

Lovely service with great food. We were looking for somewhere that served food at the standard of locals and not just tourists. Here was definitely the place! Not overpriced either. They also had retsina wine which we didn't see being served at other places. We left feeling very satisfied.


Good place!

Good location (quite close to the sea) and interesting menu. Food quality is at good level, but prices are quite high compared to other kafenions in Heraklio.

The prices are good. You can ask for food and they will bring you 5-6 random dishes that are delicious. The staff is polite and the sea breeze is a plus.

Very nice place, very nice service. If prices was a bit lower it would get 5 stars.








Wir sind zwischen 1 und 3 mal jedes Jahr in Thessaloniki. Dieses Mal waren wir gleich zwei mal dort weil noch viele Restaurants geschlossen sind.
Wir haben schon viel ausprobiert. Es gibt viele gute Restaurants aber wer Lust hat auf typisch griechische (Kreta) Küche ist hier richtig. Wir teilen uns meistens nur viele verschiedene Vorspeisen.
Die Vorspeisen sind super lecker. Der Service ausgezeichnet. Preislich in Ordnung. Super Portionen. Tolle Taverne mit gutem Hauswein.

We've been to a lot of places in Crete, but we've never had such good service from the owner. He gave us raki and ice cream dessert after meal for us.
In fact, this place is the most attractive as it is a place where you can taste various Cretan food at a reasonable price. If you want to be a local in Heraklion for a while, I highly recommend it.

Love it, don't you? You order a dish you really fancy...then see it delivered to the next table, looking as attractive as 1980 Elle McPherson.. and then told they're out of that dish. As happy as a lobster in a boiling pot. Never mind, the rest of the action was pretty good. The (baby) cod with an excellent skordalia. The fava dip above the usual good quality you get. The fries hit the spot, and the pita is on point like the beer. Sadly, the veg plate feels like yesterday's newspaper...grilling is great, using olive oil to keep things juicy would also mean we don't wait so long. The sardines are criminally overcooked...and barely edible. No wonder they took so long to front up. So its a pass grade from me, and a pass by next time.






Came here twice it's the most local!! The service is really nice, they have a lot of patience explaining in English. It's so home made! I didn't take all the pics but here is a Greek salad and also a half of the cheese "saganaki".
So affordable for 2 . Everything is to be shared.
Dessert and raki on the house.

What a lovely little place. The food was among the best we've had in Heraklion. Small plates filled with deliciousness, except the salad which was quite sizeable. The staff was very welocming and friendly and translated the Greek menu for us.
The locale was very small but picturesque and cozy. Only two tables were avaliable outside and those were already taken.
We got a free dessert of ice cream and sweet pancake, together with a bottle of raki.
Overall lovely experience with most importantly fantastic cuisine expertly cooked.

Nicely tucked away from the main tourist streets - you'll find this very unique antifa themed resto - with amazing typical home-made food and very friendly staff and owner. Had the best time.






Best food from Heraklion. All the food was fresh and cooked after order.
We had spaghetti with sea food, sardines with fresh potatoes, mix grilled with meat(without lamb).
And about tzatziky - best from Greece! 😁
I recomand you to eat here!
The best of the best here, that the prices are so decent for what food you get!

Wenn Sie sich im Zentrum Heraklions aufhalten, dann empfehle ich Ihnen diese Lokalität. Hier können Sie ohne großartiges Suchen, Abwägen und Vergleichen alle möglichen Fisch- & Fleischspeisen für günstiges Geld verzehren. Einen Punkteabzug gibt es für die super elastischen Tiefkühl-Calamaris. Rechnen Sie mit 15€ durchschnittlich pro Person. Die Nachspeisen gehen aufs Haus.

Great place for a relaxed drink with great meze (tapas). Affordable and friendly with lovable staff

Lovely place to sit down in the shade in a pedestrianised alley. The carafe of house white is probably the best 2,50€ can buy you, and it comes with nibbles






Just a few side streets away from the Lions’s fountain and missed by the mainstream tourist groups. Caters to locals and is one of several restaurants in this street. It serves a variety of small plates at a reasonable prices. The Greek generosity was evident with the free sweet treats and small bottle of raki that we got. Awesome evening.

Very nice place to stop and eat some meze and drinking a beer. We enjoyed many of them also helped by the waitress; she has been very nice. Fair prices and you are far from square with all restaurant for turists
