This unpretentious tavern has in fact won some gourmet awards for their traditional Cretan cuisine. Many Heraklion residents have long been fans but it could still be considered a well-kept secret. They have excellent versions of well-loved Cretan dishes such as rosemary-scented sautéed snails and rabbit stifado (stew). A regular menu item that is a must-try is their lamb baked with lettuce or other seasonal greens in a lemon sauce.
