Brilliant Place with Excellent Service and Food I recently had the pleasure of dining at a restaurant that truly exceeded my expectations. This brilliant place is incredibly popular, attracting a large number of people, and it's not hard to see why. From the moment we arrived, the friendly service made us feel welcome and valued. One of the standout features of this restaurant is the exceptional food quality. Every dish we ordered was prepared with great care and attention to detail. The flavours were exquisite, and the presentation was impeccable. It's clear that the chefs take pride in their craft, and it definitely shows in the taste. To complement our meal, we enjoyed a glass of a great dry white wine that was recommended by one of the staff. It perfectly complemented the flavours of the dishes and added an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience. The restaurant's location is another highlight. Situated overlooking a beautiful bay, the view from our table was simply breathtaking. We were able to enjoy the scenery while indulging in our delicious meal. Despite the road between the restaurant and the outside tables, it did not disturb the overall ambience and tranquillity of the setting. What impressed us even more was the affordability of our dining experience. With a total bill of only Euro 170 for five people (three adults and two kids), we were pleasantly surprised. It's rare to find such high-quality food and service at such a low price point. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. The combination of brilliant ambience, friendly service, excellent food quality, great white wine, stunning location, and affordable prices make it a standout choice. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit.

When I came to Greece, one of my primary goals was to eat a fish. I really, really wanted to munch down a fish. While here, I fulfilled that dream. I ordered the Sea Bream. It was the first time I was served an entire fish, head, eyes, and all, so I was a little bit uneasy, but once I surmounted the courage to dig in---the fish was DELICIOUS. It may have genuinely been the best cooked fish I've ever enjoyed. It's right on the shore, so the views are gorgeous. I felt really fortunate when I was led to a quiet table overlooking the water. Service was friendly. I feel like I personally wasn't checked on often, but I was a solo diner, and I find that's a standard experience most restaurants I go, so I won't hold it against the staff. They were really friendly with larger parties, the table next to me were from Poland and they were immediately offered a menu in Polish (which, apparently, served Leprechaun due to an incorrect translation! I'm mentioning it because it was endearing and the server shared a good laugh about it). A poor, sweet, stray, starving cat joined my table and sometimes tried to climb up onto it to steal my food. This may bother some people but I love cats and I was delighted to have a "date." I primarily just felt bad for how hungry the poor fellows were.

This restaurant was recommended to us by our hotel and even if at first impression it seemed very touristy we decided to sit down for lunch anyway as our 1-year-old was hungry. Asked for a children’s menu and was told there wasn’t one but that they could bring a bowl or pasta and cheese. We said ok as there weren’t many other suitable options out the menu, and asked for a beer and sparkling water while waiting for them to come and take our order. What proceeded was them bringing a full adult size bowl of plain tagliatelle and a small cup of Parmesan, and charging 6,50€ for it. There were no drink prices on display and was rather surprised the sparkling water was 3,50€ for a small bottle (normally a large bottle in the area is 2,50€). They also never came to take our order, so decided to move to another place for the adults’ lunch considering all the seafood and also the lamb on the menu were frozen. I’m happy to pay for my child’s food but other places in the area charge around 7€ for a proper meal, not a bowl of plain pasta. Disappointed and certainly not returning.

Really tasty! We visited this restaurant two times in our one week trip. We just fell in love with the food here. Everything was so fresh and cooked with so much love. The prices are not expensive as compared to what we paid in other restaurants. It has a nice view, a great staff and awesome food. Even the salt that they served with their fresh pita bread was so tasty. We tried their dessert and tzatziki as well, it was also top mark. We will definitely visit them when we are again in Crete. Thank you for keeping your restaurant open even in off season.

We found this place through a local recommendation. CONGRATULATIONS to the kitchen, you try local products and food but with a more creative menu than the regular restaurants. The view is gorgeous, the space ya cozy. The employees were very friendly and went the extra mile for my 5y old. There was just one thing we missed, the coordination of the service, one of the dishes we asked for it later but it came once everyone had finishing eating and we missed some presence of the employees. BUT we would go back again and totally recommend it.

I spent 16 days in Crete and visited more than 8 restaurants and Maistrali was my favorite. Everything we ordered was delicious. I and my partner came back 3 times and even ordered take-out to eat on the airplane. My favorite dish was the Dakos, Burger, Pasta with beef and their sea bass ceviche. Unfortunately, we only had time to order 1 dessert, as by the end of our meal we were too full to order dessert. I left wishing to savor their Hazelnut cake. The service was also great. The host is very sweet and on top of her game.
