Ο Σοφός - Παραδοσιακό Εστιατόριο & μαγερειό — Restaurant in Municipality of Heraklion

I really can not say enough good things about this restaurant. This place was so good, we went back on our last night in Crete simply to visit again and have another good meal. The owner and staff are incredibly pleasant and attentive. Always smiling. We are very seasoned travelers. What I look for is incredible local cuisine. Sometimes this is not found in a 4 or 5 star joint. EVERY dish we ordered was excellent. Great but not overpowering flavors, fresh ingredients, cooked just right. What else can you ask for? Traveling with 2 teens can be challenging, but both my children (17 and 19), were very pleased. Especially my daughter. This, coming from a blessed family that has eaten literally all over the word, is a high compliment. Don’t miss out on a great meal...

We ended up in this restaurant by chance on our first evening in Heraklion. At first it seems unassuming, but don't let that fool you. The food is world class and out of 8 different restaurants we visited during our time on Crete, it is definitely in the top 3! That's why we went back here on our last evening in Crete. But it's not just the food that is world class, the friendly and warm manner of the owner is unrivalled. If we come to Crete again, we will definitely be returning here. Thank you very much!

WOW, so I am just putting it out there! The stuffed pepper and tomato 🍅 is actually THE BEST I have had in Crete. The potatoes that come with it have the most amazing taste. Everything is super fresh , and the place is spotlessly clean. If you are vegan, it is also worth coming here. How have I never been here before! This place is just over 5 minutes from the airport. I took food away, but one day soon I will go and eat there. Fantastic experience just now, and thank you all 😃 I think it is going to be my new...
