The best lamb chops & Crete hospitality I've experienced. Get a sunset sea view, with great house wine and Meze. Must try! Honey Raki, Feta, Calamari... All incredible!

I found this place thanks to Google and its reviews, and I regret discovering it on my last day in Elounda. The food and atmosphere are absolutely incredible. I honestly planned to take pictures of all the dishes, but realized too late — half of them were already gone. Highly recommended. Amazing service, delicious food, lovely people, and a charming spot right by the water.

Great view, lovely food and fantastic staff. We ate here twice, once for dinner then coming back for lunch. I highly recommend their dish Briam. Vegetarian friendly. The staff are very good with kids, which we experienced at lunchtime but in the evening recommended for a lovely couples date night. As with most restaurants in Elounda, multi-lingual staff speaking at least English, French and Greek (i'm sure they could speak more languages, but I don't understand any others haha). If we are back in the area we will return!
