Kafenio Filio — Restaurant in Municipality of Rethymnon

We were looking for a small, good, genuine Greek restaurant, away from tourism. And we found what we were looking for after a 30km drive. The food is incredibly delicious. The owners are loving people and made our stay as nice as possible. Valia is an incredibly good cook!!! Without exception, EVERYTHING we ordered was tasty. George was really nice and helpful about the selection of the food. His english is really good!

We were there a total of 4 times and will come again. No matter where we are next time in Crete, we will visit this small, warm restaurant again.

We can particularly recommend the Lamb Chops. Also the stuffed grape leaves and breaded mushrooms. And the salad (unfortunately I can't remember the name, but it was a sweet salad) was a dream!!! We often drank a delicious freshly squeezed orange juice. Very tasty and the price was really unbeatable!

Thanks again to Valia and George! You guys are great! Stay as you are! See...

But what made the experience even more special was George, the owner. He is such a warm and kind person, with an incredible zest for life, making you feel like part of the family from the moment you step inside. The atmosphere was always welcoming and pleasant, combining great food with genuine hospitality. I can wholeheartedly recommend this taverna to anyone visiting Crete – it’s more than just a place to eat, it’s a true taste of...
