Stopped in for one drink, stayed for three. Cocktails are solid and the prices are fair for the area. Place gets busy fast, so don&#39;t expect quick service once it fills up. Good spot if you&#39;re not in a hurry.

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.

The view from the terrace is unreal &mdash; whole valley spread out below. Had the grilled octopus, pretty solid. Breezy up there but that&#39;s part of the charm. Worth the drive up the hill.

We came back a second time during our trip, and the grilled salmon was just as good as the first. Fresh, flaky, cooked right. The staff actually remembered us, which was a nice touch. I had a glass of crisp white wine with it, and honestly, that pairing worked better than the food itself. Place gets busy, but worth it.

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.

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.

Been coming here for a while now, and the mixed grill never disappoints. But honestly, that burger patty keeps pulling me back&mdash;smoky, juicy, just right. Had it again last night with the view, still as good as the first time. They even threw in a little dessert on the house, which was a nice surprise. Place stays consistent, and that&#39;s why I keep returning.

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.

Stopped here for a quick bite during a beach walk. Got the grilled octopus and a Greek salad&mdash;both were fresh and hit the spot. Service was fast, no waiting around. View of the water is hard to beat. Prices are a bit on the higher side for the portion size, but you&#39;re paying for the location. Fine for a casual lunch if you&#39;re in the area.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Satay chicken noodles hit the spot, decent size for the price. Staff even brought extra Sriracha without asking.

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.

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.

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. 👍

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.

The Romeo and Juliet salad was spot on &mdash; nice balance. Ribs came out tender, fell off the bone. Quiet little village spot, couple of friendly cats hanging around.

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 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.
