Peskesi

We loved everything! It was the best restaurant experience we had in Crete. Great verity of local dishes, with special culinary twist. On busy summer times you most reserve a place. The strawberry cheesecake was dreamy. Its an open area so no air conditioning but we had a fan close to us and it was great.

This was our favourite meal during our time in Crete. The mixed mushrooms were fantastic, as well as the honey and thyme pork. My partner also really loved the lamb risotto dish. While there, we were given a complimentary starter and dessert both of which were delicious. Their farm to table concept is really well done and the flavours they have put together standout.

Great concept, but disappointing execution. We were initially excited about dining here, but the service left much to be desired. Upon arrival, we waited around 10 minutes before we were even handed the menu. Then, despite being ready, it took another 30 minutes for our order to be taken. Oddly enough, the waiter served other tables that had arrived after us, and we eventually had to wave to get his attention. No apology was offered for the delay nor the oversight. We ordered three appetizers and one main to share, but each dish was served with a 15-minute gap in between. From the time the last appetizer was cleared to when the main course arrived, we waited another 35 minutes. In total, we arrived at 1 PM and didn’t finish until 3 PM. What should have been a casual lunch ended up feeling like a drawn-out nine-course tasting menu, without the finesse. As for the food, it was hit or miss. The eggs with cheese and grilled cheese appetizers were a little bland and lacked seasoning. Fortunately, the main course redeemed the experience somewhat. The beef was tender, well-cooked, and full of flavor. Still, it is not enough for me to recommend this place to other people. The management for sure needs to fix the service quality.

Maria, the one with glasses, was so sweet, kind, sociable, and cheerful that I truly feel sad not to see her again. She was incredibly nice in explaining the entire menu and was genuinely helpful. If I had to vote, she would be the nicest waitress I’ve ever met in the world. I could write until tomorrow about how lovely she is. The atmosphere was wonderful, the food was excellent and unique, with very good and distinctive flavors. We really enjoyed it a lot. It’s not a typical Greek restaurant – it’s a little different, but in a good way. The prices are higher compared to other restaurants, but still acceptable. If you call for reservations, they might not have space, but if you go directly, they will help you find a table. An experience worth trying!

This restaurant is without a doubt one of the most unique Greek dining experiences I’ve had. The atmosphere and dishes stood out with creative twists on traditional flavors, all made from fresh local ingredients. It’s a memorable place that truly highlights the artistry of Greek cuisine.

Exceptionally tasty and well prepared food. The staff is extremely polite and accommodating. They have arranged a table for us, even without reservation even though the restaurant was full. It was so hard to choose what to eat since everything looked and sounded delicious. It is very impressive that all of the products come from their own farms and gardens making the experience even more special. Absolutely worth a visit!

From the setting to the food this place was outstanding. Nice open evening vibe. Farm to plate concept came through immediately - starters were the best we’ve had at ANY restaurant, unmatched flavours that kept us reordering again and again. Mains were lovely, but somewhat paled in comparison to the starters, though the pork gyros was incredible: jumpy, juicy flavours with the charcoal and sage smoke. Great service and would 100% recommend a specific trip here if you’re in Crete. Parking can be a bit tough so come by bus if possible, or park in a nearby car park (some independent ones shut at 10/11pm though so take care, otherwise your car will get locked inside overnight)

Very good restaurant in all aspects. Excellent service from polite personnel who is ready to answer any question. We even got a suggestion not to order more things because we had already ordered enough and they were right! Good atmosphere in the inside where we sat. Nice cozy place. Cretan music at the right volume so that you can converse while eating. Ecologically responsible, they employ sustainable practices in the way they grow their own food. The waiter was kind enough to explain their philosophy before he even started to explain the menu of the day. Very tasty food and well presented. Tender meat. Excellent sauces.
