Meze Meze — Restaurant in Municipality of Heraklion

I would assume everything here is good though! Bottom line, the food was delish.

We also were able to try Raki for the first time and ended the meal with cake and ice cream. YUM. This restaurant felt so special to us and we feel so fortunate we were able to have our first meal in...
