Ovelos - Skewer House — Local services in Municipality of Rethymnon

Tucked away in a charming corner, this authentic Greek restaurant is a true gem. The moment you step onto the stunning outdoor terrace, you’re surrounded by a lush garden feel that makes dining here an experience in itself. Service is warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, adding to the relaxed yet refined atmosphere.

The menu is thoughtfully focused, offering a well-curated selection of Greek specialties that speak to quality over quantity. The highlight for me was without doubt the Greek salad, hands down the best in town, with vibrant, fresh ingredients and a flavor balance that was perfection. While I did miss getting Greek pitas, the rest of the dishes more than made up for it.

This is the kind of place you want to linger at, soaking in the ambiance over great food and conversation. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic Greek...

I had such a wonderful experience at this restaurant! From the moment I walked in, the staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. You can really feel the care they put into making guests feel at home.

What impressed me the most was the quality of the food everything is made fresh. No frozen shortcuts here! You can truly taste the difference in each bite. The ingredients were vibrant, the flavors were perfectly balanced, and every dish felt thoughtfully prepared with attention to detail.

It’s rare to find a place that combines such fresh, high-quality food with genuinely lovely service. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and looking for a meal that’s both delicious and made with heart. And a big thank you...

Stopped by here for dinner on our first night in Rethymno based on the recommendation from our driver. Food was excellent, we started off with a bread basket to share, the egg plant special of the day and local sausages. For main we had the beef and lamb chops cooked on fire. Every bite was so delicious. All washed down with half a litre of house white wine. We were too stuffed to order dessert but they gave us delicious ice cream and Raki on the house. All in all what a great stop on our first night. Not to mention the friendly and attentive service and the lovely courtyard which added to the atmosphere....
