Aris Katerina Taverna - Traditional and Authentic Cretan food — Restaurant in Municipality of Malevizi

Avoid this café !!! We were kicked out even though the place was empty, and we clearly said we’d order food. One of us was on crutches, yet the staff showed no empathy. Very cold, unwelcoming attitude. We also heard the owner is Russian, and locals don’t support this place. Not recommended at all.

You are lying. You told my husband that the table was reserved for a wedding. But when we walked by 30 minutes later, there were eight teenage boys sitting there in sportswear — no girls, no signs of any wedding. That clearly wasn’t a wedding. You lied to us.

Your bearded monster of a staff member came up to my husband and asked where we were from. When we said we were from Ukraine, he started mocking us — making fun of us and our war.

And for everything we had ordered! The price was extremely reasonable. We tried lots of restaurants in Crete, and this one has to be the best we visited in terms of service, food, price and every...

We tried having dinner at this restaurant in a group of nine people but were immediately turned off by its owner’s attitude. He was unhappy to know we were a big group, unhappy to know that we wanted to pay with cards, unhappy to know that we were Brazilians. He complained it would be too hard for him to split our bill and insisted one of us pay for the entire group - which we would gladly do if only he approached us with some politeness. We haven’t tasted the food to assess it, but had a terrible experience overall and would not recommend this place considering there is a much better restaurant 20m...
