Ta Bouzoukia — Restaurant in Municipality of Agios Nikolaos

One of our favorite meals on Crete. The restaurant was fairly busy, but not too crowded, with a lot of Greek families eating there (it is situated some distance from most of the more tourist-oriented restaurants). We ordered a variety of different dishes to share, and every one of them was delicious. The entire place feels very local and authentically Cretan; it seems to be family-run, with two older women in charge of the kitchen and the rest of the family waiting tables. The house red wine was great, as was the complementary after-dinner liquor they served when we asked for the check (along with a dessert which was also on the house). The entire meal cost less than 90 Euros for four people, and we had leftovers to take away with us. Definitely...

We were lucky to get a table without a reservation since we arrived a bit earlier than the usual dinner time in Crete before 9 pm. What a wonderful find! This is a true family-run taverna with an incredibly warm and welcoming atmosphere. The owners are so sweet and friendly, making you feel right at home.

Everything we tried was absolutely delicious, freshly prepared, and full of authentic Cretan flavors. We were also treated to complimentary starters and desserts, along with a local liquor at the end — such a thoughtful gesture that made the experience even more special.

Prices are very reasonable, especially considering the location in Agios Nikolaos. Definitely one of the must-try spots if you’re...

My girl friend and me have been on vacation the last 12 days on Kreta and so tested several restaurants. This restaurant was far the best of all and we always visited top rated restaurants. The restaurant is very authentic (like eating at home with your family) and not in the flooded tourist areas. We visited twice and tested several greek tapas and any dish was outstanding. That all for a decent price. We got twice a different starter and dessert for free and both were as well excellent.

We can highly recommend this restaurant and it is a must visit when you are around Agios Nikolaos. I hope we are soon back there to enjoy another...
