Ela

A great choice for a romantic dinner due to it's location and ruins decor. It's an authentic place with nice serving. They have Pepsi, which is a rarety in this town. (almost everybody has Coca-Cola)

For my romanian fellows, they also have menus in romanian, and other languages too, it's a really nice touch and I only saw it here.

They offer you watermellow and a small booze on the house after you request the check.

Food tastes great, with the only caveat being it's not true 100% of the time. I ordered the same thing twice and had difference experiences.

I sat inside and I really recommend everyone who's coming here to do the same. It's beautiful outside, but it's even more beautiful inside! Such a beautiful building (one of my pictures is the explanation of the history of it). I asked for a recommendation from the waiter for a local dish and he recommended the slow cooked lamb - the best lamb I ate in my life! So soft and tasty! In the end, I was spoiled with watermelon and a small bottle of Raki. Loved it!

First of all, the location is exceptional, the restaurant is located in a former soap factory/winery dating back from cca 17th century, they kept the outer walls, windows and some of the inner structure, it makes for a very romantic atmosphere. The food is delicious, we had the sea food mix and it was HUGE, (they say its for 2 persons but 4 could easily enjoy it without getting hungry) a true feast for a decent price considering the great taste and freshness of the ingredients.

We had two meals here both were lovely.
Would definitely recommend the Goat in a clay pot for 2, more than enough for the biggest of appetites.
The second visit was for lunch, I had the Veal in tomato sauce which came with rice My Wife had the meatballs in tomato sauce which came with chips, we both enjoyed our meals.
We would definitely recommend Ela's for an authentic Greek experience.

Food was disappointing

I ordered a meatballs and fried courgettes patties, both were burnt.

Heavy on the stomach.

My partner ordered a Caesar salad which was just leaves and barely no chicken in the portion.

Waste of money, waste of goods.

This is a pure tourist trap, we decided to land here for a bite after reading the reviews… clearly people have no idea what good food is :(

Also we ended up paying 41 euros for this rubbish.

Sorry guys, not worth it.

Beautiful restaurant, proper authentic taverna with classic Greek dishes.
Very reasonable pricing! We sat on a lovely table in the street.
Highly recommend the pastitsio, Kalamari, fish balls and tarama

It's very good restaurant have amazing food you don't know what to choose first to eat. The food it's unbelievable fresh and delicious. Price it's very good personal there are very friendly and hospitality. It's the best restaurant in Chania if someone come here first must try here the food after you will be costumer every day. Well done ✔ 👍 👌. I recommend it I feel grateful thank you sooo much for your hospitality.
