Simon's in Kalyves, Crete, is an absolute gem tucked away in this seaside village. Upon entering, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere, setting the perfect tone for a casual dining experience.
I decided to indulge in a burger craving and opted for Simon's Burger, not entirely sure what to expect. To my delight, I was served a scrumptious steakhouse burger that exceeded all expectations. The patty was not the typical frozen variety but instead a masterpiece of fresh, finely ground beef, expertly seasoned and cooked to perfection. Each bite was a harmony of flavors, with the meat tender and juicy, and the bun toasted to perfection on the grill, evident by the enticing grill marks. The steak fries definitely hit the spot. Tender and crispy - so, so good!!!
The pasta carbonara was another highlight of the meal, featuring tender pasta enveloped in a creamy carbonara sauce, studded with pieces of flavorful pork. Every forkful was a delight, showcasing the chef's skill and dedication to quality ingredients.
What truly sets Simon's apart, however, is not just the outstanding food, but also the genuine warmth and hospitality of the staff. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with friendly smiles and attentive service, making me feel right at home. The complimentary dessert was tasty and d was great way to complete our meal.
In summary, Simon's in Kalyves is a culinary treasure, offering delectable dishes prepared with care and served with a side of genuine hospitality. Whether you're craving a juicy burger or a comforting pasta dish, this charming eatery is sure to exceed your expectations.
