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.

We frequent this Taverna regularly, at least 5 times a year. Otto is probably the most entertaining and creative chef we have had the pleasure to know. Firstly the staff are wonderful and have worked for Otto for many years. We are welcomed as if we are family and the ambiance is second to none. Otto is very creative with his menu and often when he travels he returns with some unusual and tasty new recipes to tempt his clients. His English is very good as are the staff. Our Greek is not so good so it is usually an extremely entertaining night trying not to say the wrong thing. Highly recommended.
