The owner was super friendly, even came out to chat with us for a bit. We grabbed the rabbit and gyros, both were really tasty. Place is a little tucked away from the main strip, but easy enough to find if you&#39;re paying attention. Good spot if you&#39;re with a small group and want something low-key. 😊

The hanging kebab and beef giouvetsi were really good, filling and full of flavor. We sat near the window and the staff made sure we were comfortable the whole time. Busy spot but worth it.

The beef brisket burrito here is pretty solid. Meat was properly tender, not dry at all. Portion&#39;s decent for the price too. Place gets busy around dinner time, so you might wait a bit for a table. Not the most authentic Mexican I&#39;ve had, but for Greece it does the job. Would go back if I&#39;m craving that kind of food.

Went twice during our stay. Portions are generous for the price, that&rsquo;s for sure. The service stayed friendly both times, which I appreciated. Food was fresh, not heavy. I&rsquo;m picky about ingredients and this place didn&rsquo;t disappoint. Just wish they had a few more veggie sides. Still, a solid spot if you&rsquo;re nearby.

Been coming here for a few summers now. Gyros still hit the spot, and the pizza&#39;s decent for a beach bar. Prices are fair for the area. Sunbeds cost a bit more than other spots along the coast, but the staff remember you and that counts for something. Good enough to keep me coming back.

We stopped by for a late lunch and got the grilled octopus and the lamb. Both were decent, pretty well seasoned. The staff let us linger a bit, which was nice. They brought out a small fruit plate and a brownie after we paid &mdash; didn&#39;t expect that. Place was a bit noisy, but fine for a casual meal.

The grilled salmon here is really good. Had it last week and honestly it&#39;s the best I&#39;ve had around this area in a while. Staff left me alone mostly, which I appreciate. Place was a bit busy but that&#39;s fine. Just wish they had a bit more sauce on the plate.

The creamy mushroom pasta was honestly the highlight&mdash;so hot and flavorful, you could tell they actually put care into it. Our waiter was super sweet too, checked on us just the right amount. Perfect spot for a chill catch-up with friends. Would come back just for that dish again 😊

The veggie mixed platter was the reason I&rsquo;d go back. Asked for it vegan and they handled it without fuss. Haricot beans were the star, zucchini cooked just right. They even sent out raki and a vegan dessert at the end, didn&rsquo;t expect that. Portion was decent for the price, left full but not stuffed.

Fresh seafood right on the water. Portions were solid, prices fair for what you get. Went back twice during the trip. Service was a bit slow at peak hours, but nothing crazy.

Stopped by for a late lunch and ended up staying longer than planned. The grilled octopus was spot on, tender with that charred edge. I asked the waiter for a wine suggestion since their list is mostly Greek labels, and he pointed me to a crisp assyrtiko that paired beautifully. Service felt genuine, not forced. They even brought out a small dessert on the house. Place gets busy, so expect a bit of a wait, but it&#39;s worth it.

The octopus was the highlight &mdash; super tender and that fried onion on top worked really well. Goat with pasta was decent too, though I kept finding tiny bones in the sauce which was a bit annoying. Service was friendly and prices felt fair for what you get. Place was a bit cramped but fine for a quick dinner.

The coffee was decent and pancakes pretty good. Sat outside with the sea view, which made it worthwhile. Staff were friendly enough, nothing over the top. It&#39;s a fine spot if you&#39;re after a relaxed breakfast. Maybe a bit touristy but I&#39;d still go back.

The steak came out exactly how I asked, medium rare, no complaints there. Portion was decent for the price, which is always my main thing. Staff spoke English well, so ordering was easy. Place was busy but we got our food quick enough. I&#39;d eat here again if I&#39;m in the area.

Been to this place maybe four times now while in Sitia. Kept going back for the lamb. Tender, properly seasoned, no fuss. The chef knows what he&#39;s doing with Cretan recipes. Prices fair for what lands on the plate. Didn&#39;t need anything fancy, just solid food done right.

Lovely spot right on the beach&mdash;sunbeds were comfy and the bay is really pretty. Had a nice lunch, nothing fancy but fresh and tasty. Coffee was a bit meh, but that&rsquo;s fine. The bus stop being right across the road made it easy to get there. Would sit here again for a lazy afternoon.

The dakos starter was so fresh, and that chicken fillet with sundried tomatoes and feta? Big portion, totally worth it.

The chicken schnitzel with that orange-dressed salad really stood out. Portions are huge too. Terrace is cute, surrounded by plants.

The burger here is seriously good. Fresh, juicy, not overdressed. Hand-cut fries on the side were solid too. I&#39;ve had worse at places charging double. Service was fine, nothing fancy, but I didn&#39;t come for that. If you&#39;re in the area and want a proper burger without the fuss, this does the job.

The seating area is pretty tight but the place has that cozy Greek feel. Food was fresh and the staff were friendly enough.

The cheese pie is the one to get. Flaky crust, salty filling, still warm when it came out. Milk cake was good too, sweet but not heavy. Paid less than I expected for both. That&#39;s pretty much all I need from a bakery.

The moussaka tasted like something my yiayia would make&mdash;simple, hearty, no fuss. Portion was big enough that I didn&rsquo;t need to order anything else. Staff left us alone mostly, which I appreciated. Bill came out fair for what we got. Pretty good spot if you&rsquo;re in the area and want a quiet meal. Maybe not worth a special trip, but decent.

Nice spot for breakfast, view over Souda Bay is lovely. WiFi held up fine and the food did the job. Nothing fancy, but it works.

The interior is genuinely nice&mdash;like someone actually put thought into it, not just slapped some trendy stuff on the walls. Drinks were solid too. Only thing is the bill added up quicker than I expected for what we ordered. Not mad about it, but I&#39;d probably stick to a couple of cocktails next time instead of going all in.

Stopped in late for a snack, had the liver&mdash;really good. Staff friendly, beer cold. They even sent over a little dessert on the house. Solid spot.

We came back here four times on our trip&mdash;the food just never got old. Loved the creative spins on traditional dishes. The free bread, raki, and little desserts were a nice touch too.

Fresh veggies straight from their own garden. Wild greens tasted like they were picked that morning. Manolis clearly puts real care into what he serves. Quick and honest spot for lunch.

The rabbit with green beans was really good. You can tell it&rsquo;s been cooked slowly, the meat just falls off. I liked that they keep the menu simple and focus on fresh stuff. The place is full of plants and colours, feels very local. Just wish the portions were a bit bigger for the price.

Stopped here before the ferry and the fresh sardines were really good. Service was friendly and the walk from port was quick, under 10 minutes. Nice spot if you have time to kill.
