This is a traditional Cretan taverna that makes both tourists and locals happy since the extensive menu considers the needs of all dining trends from Cretan to International. Inside is reminiscent of your Grandma’s home- cosy and busy, with lots to look at including antique pictures of a by-gone era in Rethymno. The food is all excellent quality. Go for the Cretan cuisine such as lamb with artichokes or any of the wide variety of top-notch steaks. Salads are very fresh and unique, like the spinach & ruccola with sun-dried tomatoes, figs, apaki (Cretan smoked pork) and capers. There is a large selection of small starter (meze) plates and platters.  Efficient service and attention to detail including fresh flowers rounds out the picture.
