We chose to visit this place for our breakfast during our stay in Chania. Our initiative was due to the review we saw here. First and foremost, this is a cretan traditional bougatsa and it does not serve the famous greek bougatsa with custard. The only option is the one with cheese and they are toping it with icing sugar. So, be aware of this if you are not keen on cheese bougatsa. Portion wise was ok but price wise was a bit of rip off, by far the most expensive bougatsa I ever paid, 3.5 euros per piece.

The cheese makes all the difference, it has a better taste, so you ll either love it or hate it. But even if you hate it you can add a tons of cinamon and sugar and you could eat it. If it's your first time trying it, I recommend getting one portion even if your couple and the get another if you like it. That way you can finish the plate easier in case you...
