Minoan Parassies. Cretan Traditional Restaurant. — Restaurant in Municipality of Festos

If I could give 100 stars I would. This was the BEST MEAL and one of our best experiences during our vacation on Crete. This small but cozy place is like coming to Grandma's house. We came late, around 2pm, and Mama (that's what we called her) greeted us with warm hugs and kisses. She did not speak any English, and we do not speak Greek, but love is beyond words. She made us lamb with tomatoes- which was heavenly- the meat melting in the mouth, and perfectly seasoned. We also had a vegetable stew with egglant, zucchini and potato, and rice wrapped in cabbage leaf, and fire roasted sweet pepper drizzled with olive oil, and fresh whole grain bread. It was like a Christmas dinner, so perfect and served by this loving grandmother who was so kind and welcoming. For dessert, she served us fresh fruit, and a pastry with nuts and honey and a hint of licorice. And of course Raki! It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. We look forward...

The restaurant building was built in 2019, so it’s practically new and has great bathrooms. They’ve got a play area set up for kids. We loved sitting on the covered patio and sipping wine that the owner made herself. If have access to a car on Crete, make the trip out to this restaurant. It made our whole trip to...

We had lunch on a Friday and dinner the Saturday after. On both occasions we had a variety of traditional Greek specialities for starters, which were delicious without exception. As a main dish we went with rabbit stifado, vegetarian moussaka and traditional greek meatballs. The menu is refreshingly short and may vary from day to day. The obligatory raki and dessert were of as excellent a taste and quality as the others dishes. The restaurant is family-run and the service is absolutely warm-hearted and altogether great. No doubt the best greek cuisine we have...
