Mastrapas — Restaurant in Municipality of Chania

Wow, wow, and another wow. That is all about the meat. I'll start with the less impressive - the service. Was very slow and not "accurate", for example served me small draft beer while I ordered large one (but were so kind to make the small one on the house and to serve another large one), forgot to serve water that I ordered, or gave some unknown juice for the kid who ordered fanta. So it started a bit on the down side (not to mention the missing tomahawk that was gone between the time the waiter announced the special dishes and the time we ordered) , but then came the food. We started with Lola's salad and tzaziki, which were good, and a big portion of lamb (anti christo I believe, right from the flames) and it was, how can I say it... Poetry. So tender and delicious. I am in Chania area now for 10 days, eating daily in restaurants (sometimes twice a day), on the beach, in the city old town, on the mountains, all over, and I can guarantee you - this is the best meat I had in this...

Mastrapas Galatas

A perfect place for lunch but BEWARE, make sure you book beforehand. We did our reservation on Google and we're there earlier than most, so had a choice of where to sit, inside the Taverna or in the brighter outdoor area. As folk started to spill in for Sunday lunch for the reserved tables, others were turned away having not know of their popularity.

All dishes were of a good size, so do not over order or you will definately be asking for a box to take away the rest, (too tasty to leave behind). Good prices, not sure about wine quality as we opted for soft drinks, due to driving home soon after. Attentive service when requesting additional dishes or drinks. We were told after our experience, although we had not ordered ourselves, you do not go to Mastrapas and NOT order their chips with Staka. Next time we go, we will.

Overall a...

STUNT FOOD!! We ordered a stake. The meat was very hard, completely unseasoned and tasteless. Seriously how unprofesional does a cook have to be to completely forget to season a stake? Also they didn't tenderize the meat and we couldn't swallow it at all.

Not only that, but the meat was served in a very old wooden cutting board that looked and smelled completely unsanitary. I got a belly ache from eating from it...

The whole order for two people was 120€ for a salad a main dish, an apetizer and the stake. The stake itself was 60€ alone!

Serive was also very bad. The staff also forgot to bring us water and glasses, we had to ask for bread as they also forgot, and service was abysmally late. Borderline scam.

Very unsatisfied. I'm never going...
