Vegera Restaurant Platanias — Restaurant in Municipality of Platanias

We came here the first day of our vacation in Crete and decided to go eat something since it was going to be our first proper meal after all the traveling. And we couldn't have picked a better place!

The staff was very friendly, everyone kept smiling all the time and everything! We ordered 2 pizzas because we didn't know yet how the food was here and went with something that you almost can't mess up. Despite the pizza base being a bit different, the pizzas were very good! Food arrived in a normal time (20-30minutes) and we were full.

We asked for our check and were really surprised when we got a plate of fruit, 2 scoops of chocolate ice cream and local alcohol beverage called "Raki"! And all this for free!!!

Definitely recommend...

We ate here after a long day in Elafonissi, so be fair, we were a bit tired already, when we came in. It was a very hot day and it didn't get much easier here. The fans weren't quite enough for the heat and we were sweating quite a bit while eating here.

Service was friendly, but it seems that bigger groups and locals get more attention than a tired touristy couple. Service was still attentive when arrived and very patient with our questions, thank you for that.

We ordered some starters and a main dishes and all that we ate was perfect.

Missing a star here might have been more the circumstacies this time, so I think we will give this restaurant yet another go on our next trip. The food...

First of all, the food is very good and very different than what you get in Athens, in Athens everything is grilled; in Crete the food is much more cheesy and saucy, which is definitely a hole in one for me. Having said that, the menu has a lot of traditional dishes also. Hence you can eat the entire week here without a problem. Everything was good, with star the sauces, you taste that it took hours to prepare them. My hat off for the cook. Staff is friendly and very attentive. Worth a five star review, they will see me and my wife...
