Tucked away from the busy streets, this place has a proper cozy feel. Wine list was solid, nothing fancy but good enough. Only thing is the seating got a bit cramped when it filled up.

The carrot cake and yogurt were really good. Staff even tried to book a taxi for us, which was nice. The playlist made the whole place feel super chill.

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.

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 🙂

The arancini were the real deal&mdash;crispy outside, still warm and soft inside. Lasagna had that homemade feel, like someone&rsquo;s nonna actually made it. Place is small and a bit cramped, but the smell alone pulls you in. I&rsquo;d go back just for that.

Great spot for a relaxed dinner with a view. Food was tasty and portions generous. Parking right next door made it easy. Staff were attentive too.

Nice spot right in the middle of everything. Baby burgers were juicy and came in decent portions. Only issue was nobody at the door when I walked in, so I just grabbed a table myself. Took a minute to figure out if that was okay. Food made up for it though.

We came for dinner on a Tuesday, place was busy but not crazy. Had the seafood linguine, plenty of shrimp and mussels, sauce was decent. The risotto was good too, creamy enough. Staff were friendly, not hovering. Prices fair for what you get. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area, I&#39;d go back.

Great spot right across from the beach 🌅 we showed up late and they still made us feel super welcome. Seafood was fresh too, perfect for a chill hang with friends.

We had dinner here and the view of the lit-up Venetian castle is really something. Food was decent for the price, nothing fancy but solid. The Ekmek kataifi dessert was the highlight though. Pretty good spot if you&#39;re in the area and want a nice setting without spending too much.

We stopped by twice while staying in Rethymno. The lamb kleftiko was really good, fell right off the bone. Second time I tried the Cretan spaghetti with shrimp, also tasty. Staff remembered us from the first visit, which was a nice touch. Only small thing, the tables are a bit close together, but it didn&#39;t bother us much. Solid spot for a relaxed dinner.

The fish was really good, fresh and cooked nicely. Service was a bit slow but whatever. Right on the marina so the view makes up for it. 👍

Stopped by for dinner and honestly the staff were the best part. Super friendly, always checking if we needed anything. They even brought out free ice cream and raki at the end which was a nice surprise. Place was busy but they still managed to keep things quick.

Stopped by for a quick bite. Grilled shrimp were solid, and the free dessert was a nice touch. Bathroom could be cleaner, but for a fast lunch it did the job.

The truffle rigatoni was really good&mdash;creamy, not too heavy. They even brought us a little dessert on the house, which I didn&rsquo;t expect. Prices felt fair for what you get. Only small thing: the wine list seemed a bit short that night, but I&rsquo;d still come back for the pasta.

Stopped by for a quick coffee break. Service was actually really good &mdash; friendly without hovering. Coffee was solid, nothing fancy but hit the spot. Place was a bit quiet for my taste, but fine for a quick stop. Wouldn&#39;t go out of my way, but if you&#39;re nearby it works. ☕

We came here twice during our trip and honestly it was so good both times. The menu has a ton of options which is nice when you&rsquo;re with friends who can&rsquo;t decide 😅 Prices felt fair for what you get. Service was quick too, we never had to wait long. Definitely a solid pick if you&rsquo;re in the area.

Food was solid and the place has a nice vibe, but service felt a bit scattered. Took forever to get our wine order in. Prices run high, though the dishes made up for it.

The cheese balls were decent, and the sausage casserole was pretty good too. Simple, traditional cooking done right. No draft beer, which was a bit of a letdown, but the food made up for it. Fine spot if you&#39;re after something hearty.

Stopped by for lunch and the souvlaki was spot on 🔥 Staff were super friendly too. Honestly liked it so much we ended up coming back for dinner later that day.

The pornstar martini here is genuinely good&mdash;probably the best I&#39;ve had, and I&#39;ve tried a few. Cocktail list is decent overall, not too fussy. Lighting gives the place a nice mood without trying too hard. Only thing is it got a bit busy later on, but that&#39;s on me for staying. Fine spot for a drink if you&#39;re in the area.

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 Greek salad was decent and the portion generous. They even threw in free meze, raki, and dessert, which was a nice touch.

Shared breakfast was perfect for two, tons of food. My freddo cappuccino was spot on. Prices are fair and the staff were lovely. Good spot to catch up with friends. 😊

Came for the mixed fish platter&mdash;swordfish, bream, salmon, shrimp. Grilled well, nothing overdone. Right across from the beach, so the whole place feels open and breezy. House wine was decent. Only thing: the seating&rsquo;s a bit tight, but you&rsquo;re not really there for the chairs.

Stopped by The Bankery for a quick coffee and something sweet. The pastries really are good, fresh and not too heavy. Prices are fair for the location, right in the center of Rethymno. It was busy but I found a seat by the window, which was nice. Service was friendly enough, though I did wait a bit to order. Fine for a relaxed break.
