Aleko's Fish Taverne Vrachos — Restaurant in Municipality of Festos

We had a rather disappointing meal at Vrachos. We ate the mixed grill (lamb, pork, chicken) and a mixed seafood plate (tuna steak, anchovies, shrimp). All of the meat plate was overcooked and none of the seafood was very palatable. The tuna steak was the best part and even it was a little overdone. The positives were that the view is of course spectacular, and the owner was a wonderful host and was very apologetic about our food, and was very receptive and thankful for the feedback. We aren’t one to beg for a free meal, but it would have been nice to at least comp our soft drink or bread to apologise. We received some fruit and raki but this is very standard (and of course much appreciated) Cretan...

The views are not as special as the Mystical View next door, but the fish selection and quality of the food was very special.

On the night our daughter had pasta (what more does a 5yo eat!) but we had fresh anchovies, my wife had Sea Bass and I had Tuna fillet. Both cooked to perfection.

The owner and his niece gave us a great table to enjoy the meal from a cliff top with great views down to Komos Beach.

For food & atmosphere this was our top choice in the 8 days around...

Typical taverna menu with fresh fish and awesome meat entrees but the best part was the view. Wow. I am never ordering bottled wine at restaurants in Greece any more. House wines are just out of this world and this place was no exception. Everything we’ve tried was awesome but I have to admit their vegetables that came with some dishes were the best sides we’ve had while down here. The owner was amazing and personally took care of every guest. You can’t miss this place while...
