The Hope Mezestaurant Το Ρακαδικο του Καμαρη

A wonderful place! The dinner was truly special — the dishes were fresh, flavorful, and incredibly delicious. We especially loved the appetizers and the main course — everything was prepared with care and love. The atmosphere is cozy and warm, and the staff is friendly and attentive. We will definitely come back again and happily recommend this place to our friends!

Easy to find from Elounda church, a 15 minute walk, steep at the end, but how else would you get such fantastic 360° views? You can always drive there, but do, do, do go. There's an air of gentle peacefulness and care here and although the frontage is small and modest, the view to dine with is stunning. You've got the whole bay and town laid out below you in all it's beauty. What knocks the ball further out of sight is the wonderful food here. Traditional, but some of the very best you'll try, along with service and friendliness that's hard to match. You can make special memories here, with a treat for all of your senses (and wallet). A real find and one not to miss.

Lovely little traditional greek taverna on the quiet back roads of Elounda. Friendly ex-pat owner, and real home cooked Greek food with a stunning view of the Elounda Bay that you probably won't find anywhere else. Definitely one to stop by and try

We loved this delightful place so much, we visited it twice during our one-week stay in Elounda! The staff is extremely warm and friendly, the view and atmosphere are great, and the food is delicious and generously portioned - and all that for a very affordable price. I especially recommend their delicious, tender oyster mushrooms; I will be thinking about them until we hopefully get the chance to visit again!

Perched on a hill with parking just a minute's walk away, this charming restaurant offers seating on a wooden balcony with breathtaking sea views. It has a cozy, family-run feel. The food is delicious and generously portioned, and the French fries were the best we've had in Crete. The staff is incredibly kind, even offering us a front-row sea view seat after we had already finished our meal.

One of the best in Elounda. A warm welcome, great dishes. Stunning view. Don't think twice.

The Hope is a hidden gem with great food and an unbeatable view. Among the dishes we enjoyed was the grilled Halloumi which was by far the best we’ve ever had. Urska was friendly and attentive making our experience even more enjoyable.

Lovely restaurant with an amazing view. Food was fantastic, service great and excellent value. Well worth the walk up or take a taxi! Book by phone.
