Zafferano — Restaurant in Municipality of Platanias

It's always a pleasure to dine in Zafferano. Very hospitable and kind people, attentive to your every need. Their specialties are Italian and Sushi food, with many options for pasta and risottos and fresh sushi made from the chef at that time. Great salads and wine list too. The setting and the view are beautiful, so enjoy it at sunset hours for the best evening you can have. The best food experience in Platanias. If you go downtown to Chania old port, make sure you also visit their other restaurant, Kariatis, which has similar menu, but instead of sushi serves pizza also. Prices are normal, as you would expect for that kind of level of dining. Will visit every time we visit Chania, definitelly...

It was a great restaurant, but when they combined semi Italian cuisine with Sushi sorry it makes no sense what so ever, its was a bad business decision which I'm quite sure that you have seen the impact since introducing Sushi and the reason I'm saying this is that is what I noticed, sadly I was in the area this year and we avoided eating there, its sad beacuase it was one of my favourite and my wife's favourite restaurant, I do hope that you look into the 2018 season...

On est en Crète, reconnue pour son excellente cuisine, alors pourquoi aller manger dans un restaurant « italien »? Premièrement, ce qui nous a attiré ici est la tranquillité par rapport à la cohue des restaurants qui sont sur la rue principale. Comprenez moi bien, l’excitation des tavernas a son charme, et nous allons continuer à en visiter plein d’autres, mais parfois, on ressent le besoin d’être tranquille et c’est ce qui nous a attiré chez Zafferano. Et nous n’avons pas été déçu, l’accueil, le service étaient irréprochables, et la nourriture tout simplement fantastique. The best of both worlds comme on dirait en anglais. L’excellente nourriture italienne aux saveurs et arômes de la Crète. Les entrées de gnocchis et asperges-prosciutto savoureux, l’agneau tendre et juteux (il y avait quelque chose de magique là dedans!)... tout était simplement magnifique... A ne pas manquer si vous passez...
