Came here twice during our Crete week. The pork in tomato sauce was the winner for me, vine leaves were solid too. Prices felt fair for what you get.

The cocktails here are seriously good. Dim lighting, old-school vibe, felt like a hidden gem in Heraklion. Staff were on it too.

The Funghi Pizzetti was the one. Pasta&rsquo;s clearly house-made, cooked proper al dente. Sauce had real depth, not just cream and salt. Portion was decent for what you pay. Didn&rsquo;t need anything else on the table.

The coconut pasta was really good, and the Miami burger hit the spot too. Sat outside on the terrace, right by the sea &mdash; perfect for a summer evening. Staff were nice, even though I don&#39;t speak Greek. Didn&#39;t feel rushed at all. Just a solid meal with a great view.

We always stop here when we&rsquo;re in the area. The eggplant with feta and fried mushrooms are my favorite, honestly could eat those every day. Staff was friendly and the view is just as good as everyone says. Only thing is it gets a little busy around sunset, but that&rsquo;s kinda expected. Still a solid pick for a casual catch-up with friends 🙂

Happy hour cocktails here are actually a good deal. Tried a few and they were all pretty well-balanced, not too sweet. Service was quick too, which I appreciated. Maybe not the most creative menu, but for the price it does the job. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The staff pointed us to a few local spots after we finished eating. Pita plates were solid and the free fries on the side were a nice touch for a late night stop.

Stopped by for a quick coffee and ended up staying way longer than planned. The owner actually came over to chat and brought out some fresh pastries &mdash; the spinach pie was still warm. Honestly felt like hanging out at a friend&#39;s place rather than a cafe. Just wish they had more seating, it got pretty crowded by noon.

Been coming here for years, same family running it the whole time. Food&#39;s still homemade and honest, menu changes with whatever&#39;s fresh. Owner remembers you, makes you feel like you&#39;re at his place.

The grilled shrimp here are the real deal. Big, charred, just salty enough. Had the sardines too, straight off the grill. That&rsquo;s the whole meal, nothing fancy. The drive down the coast is long and winding, but the food makes up for it. I&rsquo;d come back just for that shrimp.

Stopped by for a drink and stayed for dinner. Wine was decent, staff friendly. The sunset view over the sea made it worth it.

Came here with a couple of friends on a random weeknight and honestly the cocktails were the highlight 🍸 We ordered a bunch of stuff to share and everything tasted fresh, not too heavy. Place got a bit loud later but that kinda added to the vibe for hanging out. Would come back if I&rsquo;m in the neighborhood again.

Great spot not far from Agia Pelagia. We got a complimentary dessert with our meal, which was a nice touch. The food was tasty and portions were generous.

Gyros pita was solid. Fresh, quick, cheap. Exactly what you need when you&#39;re hungry and walking around. No complaints.

Stumbled onto this place down a quiet street&mdash;grilled calamari was spot on, tender, not rubbery. They brought out raki and cake on the house at the end, which paired nicely with my last glass of wine. The birds wandering around the tables are a fun touch. Service was friendly, though a bit slow when it got busy.

A solid &euro;5 pita gyros, filling and way better than your average street grab. Would&#39;ve liked a slightly bolder tzatziki, but for the price, I&#39;m not complaining. A cold beer would&#39;ve paired nicely with it.

The smoked salmon with cream cheese was the highlight &mdash; so fresh. And that waterfront view is hard to beat. Staff were lovely too.

Lovely spot right on the sand. Free sunbeds with just a small order, and the staff were really welcoming. Food was decent, portions generous. Nice place to just relax without any hassle.

The roast lamb tsigariasto was really good&mdash;tender and full of flavor with the wine and olive oil. The spaghetti and anthoti cheese on the side worked nicely. Simple and well done.

Stopped here on the way from the airport. Gyros were solid, exactly what I needed. The seating was comfortable, which I appreciated after a long flight. Staff let me take my time, no rushing. A bit busy around noon, but nothing crazy. Fine spot if you want something easy and dependable.

The rooftop view of the harbour is the main reason to come here. Lamb shank was solid and the portion honestly bigger than I expected.

The fish soup was a bit sour and needed reheating, but the steamed mussels were fresh, though slightly overcooked. My husband&#39;s fish was much better. It&#39;s a mixed bag, but the location in the market is convenient.

Came back the next day just to try more dishes&mdash;that says it all. Portions are decent for the price, especially for this area. Cocktails were creative too.

Been here a few times now. Club sandwich still hits the spot and the portion size is fair for what you pay. Service is friendly, even if it&#39;s clearly aimed at tourists. Solid spot when you&#39;re in the center.

The beetroot risotto surprised me&mdash;creamy and well-balanced, and I&rsquo;m not even a beetroot fan. Grilled calamari was solid too. Staff knew their stuff.

Stopped by for a mojito on a sunny afternoon and ended up staying longer than I planned. The outdoor seating was comfortable, just enough breeze. Easy walk from the Olive Green hotel, which helped. Drinks were good, nothing fancy but well made. Place felt clean and laid-back. Wouldn&#39;t mind coming back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The rooftop view is honestly the star here 🌟 and the food holds up its end too. Service was warm without being over the top. Great spot to bring a group of friends for a chill evening.

The pizza dough was soft with a good chew, and the large size easily fed three of us. Portions are seriously big for the price. Just wish they&#39;d brought the drinks out a bit faster.

Stopped by for lunch&mdash;place was packed with locals, always a good sign. Mixed grill for two was solid and enough for three. Nothing fancy, but fair price for what you get.

We came for our anniversary and the staff had a little surprise waiting for us. Food was good, dessert too. Live music made it feel special without being too much.
