The Blue Door — Restaurant in Municipality of Agios Nikolaos

My first experience was during night time and it was absolutely magical especially when you could see the Spinalonga Island all lit up from a distance. I also recommend dining there for lunch during the day time by the way when you can Spinalonga more clearly. The servers are very kind, generous and helpful as you don’t have to wait too long for a table even when don’t book a table although the service can be a little slow at times especially during busy hours. As for the food I totally recommend ordering the pita and the traditional white Greek bread with the cheese dip and marinated anchovies trust me you won’t regret it if you do. I also recommend the chicken thigh dish with tzatziki & French fries on the side or the shrimp saganaki in tomato sauce and feta cheese as an appetizer however be aware that the size of the shrimps are quite large so be careful not to order anything else such as a main course especially if you just want to consume a light snack. Lastly I recommend the goat milk ice cream with walnuts and honey as it is truly divine especially during the hot summer days if you want to cool down with something sweet as the taste is so amazing that it will definitely melt in your mouth. So if you ever visit Crete I definitely recommend giving this place a try based on my personal experience I will definitely visit this place again...

First of all - this restorant attached to the Blue Palace Spa and Resort, so it is placed on the closed area of it and if you're not staying this hotel it will be easier to review other options to have lunch/dinner. Otherwise it would be better to call the restorant, reserve a table, find the reception of the Blue Palace and go to the restorant via it. Next thing I should point out is prices - this place is definitely overpriced, the price is higher up to 1.5-2 times to the similar dishes in other restorants. About positive moments - they have quite high level of cuisine, if you'll pay for it you won't be disappointed with the result, second plus is view and service level - you'll take a pleasure of having a delicious main course having a great picture of Spinalonga and azure sea and served by professionals. In conclusion - if you don't bother about difficulties, you can face trying to reach this place, ready to pay more than usual - this place fit you quite well, in other case it would be better to review...

Blue Door Taverna is simply a gem! From the moment we walked in, we felt like part of the family. The setting is so charming and authentic, right by the sea, with the most beautiful blue-and-white décor that captures the spirit of Greece perfectly.

The food was absolutely divine – every dish tasted so fresh and full of flavor. The seafood was cooked to perfection, and the traditional recipes had that homemade warmth that you can’t forget. The service was equally wonderful – attentive, kind, and full of smiles, which made the whole evening feel extra special.

It’s one of those places where you sit down "just for dinner" but end up lingering for hours because the atmosphere is so joyful. Truly one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had in Crete. Highly...
