One of the best meals we have had since we have been in Crete. Food was stunning and service was incredible. Staff were very friendly and quick with service. Only thing I would say is the beer could be colder. They have high chairs available for babies
Excellent food, the wait staff sat is immediately in what I consider the best seat: Waterfront next to the side walk. The drink service was very quick despite it being pretty packed around lunch time. The appetizers came out minutes after the drinks, and then the main dishes came out perfectly timed about 10 minutes later. Excellent food, excellent seating, excellent service! Even gave us a free desert shot and some watermelon at the end!
This was one of the best restaurants I've ever been to in my life. 1. The atmosphere is amazing - the views are breathtaking 2. The service is super notch - within five minutes, all our food was on the table 3. The food was unbelievably good - it was something that I never had in my life I just can't say enough about the quality of the service and the food that we had here.
Beautiful place by the water that my hotel recommended. It is slightly away from main tourist part, so it feels more authentic and not tourist trap. Great views by the water along with good drinks and amazing food. I left stuffed and recommend the seafood pasta! Manos (unsure on spelling) was very attentive too despite being a bit busy, didn’t feel rushed or ignored.
An Exceptional Dining Experience! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed and made to feel right at home. The ambiance was cozy yet elegant, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. The food was absolutely outstanding — each dish was beautifully presented, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. A special mention goes to our waiter, Viaos, who was nothing short of amazing. Attentive without being intrusive, friendly and knowledgeable. We left completely satisfied. Highly recommended!
We came here with a group of eight, and the food was absolutely excellent. The raki and complimentary dessert at the end were also very nice. Just a small note: bottled water costs €6. Highly recommend the tuna steak, but honestly, everything we tried was really good. During our 10-day stay, we ended up coming here twice — that says it all!
We were a 9 people familly (5 adults / 3 teens and 1 baby). We stopped ar Canale Restaurant because we saw a big table under the shadow. It was a really good choice. First the location is excellent. Right on the port with a great view. Second food is excellent. Plates are generous but on top of this of a fine taste with great balanced sauce. I personally took Karod pasta with truffle:amazing. Homemade french fries is also a hint of good tables. We were some delighted that I forgot to take some pictures. Third service was really great. Waiters were really kind and really service focused. Knowing how it can be sometimes complicated in France in some similar places it is really apreciated. Finally the bill, 200€ for 9 including apero and coffee. Give it a try you will not be disappointed!
The food here was excellent! Beautifully presented and very tasty. The service was outstanding. Staff took great care of us, always checking if everything was fine and making us feel very welcome. A wonderful dining experience that we would definitely recommend!
