Meltemi Seaside — Restaurant in Municipality of Agios Nikolaos

This was an amazing find. We arrived for a late lunch and enjoyed it so much we returned for dinner. We are in the restaurant industry and I can confidently say that this is the best meal we had I Agios Nicolaos. Their complimentary bread and dips were so welcome, We had feta saganaki, zucchini balls, salad, and calamari, which was so well prepared and tasty. A few hours later, we returned for prawn saganaki and the crayfish linguine. We chatted to the chef, who was so helpful and polite. The staff were very attentive and friendly, the service was tops, the atmosphere so calming and beautiful and the food was excellent. Finished off the meal with delicious pecan tart, cappuccino, and their complimentary fruit and little sweet cups with crumbs, mousse and honey. My only regret it that I discovered them by chance on the last day. So I will most definitely visit again when we return....

Ultimately, I had to go to the kitchen and congratulate Chef Dimitris Panagakos and his staff (shown in one of my photos below), lovely people who create...
