Taverna Leventogiannis — Restaurant in Municipality of Chania

A fantastic taverna near a beautiful and picturesque gorge in the village of Theriso. Fantastic roast goat. Soft and flavourful. The Staka cheese was a revelation- of course why wouldn’t it be, it is soft cheese-like substance made from got milk fat (a roux). The Cretan salad was great because tomatoes and cucumbers were so fresh and tasty. The mizithra (fresh cheese made with milk and whey from sheep or goats milk) was so delicious.

We arrived with our little one and it was great for her to see all these animals, nature, but also to play a bit on the swing, slide and rocking horse. I definitely...

What is this, the 1980’s? The people who work here are homophobic. I came here with my husband and our small dog. The waiter was rude to us immediately after nicely chatting with the other table. He rushed us through our orders, which he didn’t bother to explain. Then when my husband asked for a bottle opener, they made fun of him and laughed in his face. Unacceptable. They also glared at us during our meal. Worst experience in Greece after being here for almost two weeks. Even the people in rural Peleo are friendlier. This...
