Ideally situated in the heart of Heraklion's wine region, the down-home fare at this traditional tavern is perfect for soaking up the wine after touring & tasting. Most often there is lamb or pork shank in the wood oven and dishes like lamb in a lemon sauce are how cooked foods used to be when Grandmothers slaved in the kitchens daily. The boiled mutton and rice pilaf, a favorite at Cretan festivities is a staple on the menu.
