Taverna Skarvelis — Restaurant in Municipality of Rethymnon

Came here on a Tuesday night. No customers when we arrived, only two old men sitting in a corner table in the garden. Found the waiter inside the restaurant, who didn’t speak any English. He quickly set a table for two outside and took our order. Many items on the menu were not available. I was already having some doubts, but when the food arrived, it was probably the most delicisious experience in Crete. Greek salad was absolutely amazing and souvlakis were mouthwatering and juicy. It’s not fine dining but they do home-style cooking really well. The waiter was so friendly although there was a huge language barrier. Overall one of the best dinner places in Rethymnon. I would definitely go again. And above all...

We were a bit disappointed. Went with high expectations because of the reviews, but the food was below the quality level of the restaurants in the vicinity. It wasn't bad, but not good. Just decent. I must say that we visited on a very quiet evening for them, so perhaps this wasn't their usual...

One of the best restaurants in Crete, the chef is outstanding he gets everything fresh from his farms and we got to .eet his lovely wife , kids..Marsela is one of the best waitress and so sweet...Everything is so fresh, don't let the little place foul you because it's outstanding once you...
