To Maridaki

This must have been the best price to food ratio. I’ve been in Greece for 7 days and have never been able to have 2 appetizers, 1 main and a glass of wine for 36 euros. The lower price does not mean sacrifices are made to the quality and taste as the ladies in the kitchen cook great dishes. I highly recommend visiting them when you’re in old town.

We arrived around 8:30 pm on a Thursday evening in late November. A group of 4, we found a table quickly and were able to review their vast menu. We had lots of questions about the fish, and the gentleman actually brought the whole fish over to show us what was available and how he recommended preparing it for us. We ordered fresh pita bread, salads, sardines, fish soup mussels, snapper, tuna, swordfish. All delicious. A liter of house red wine, too. You can drink the tap water here, so they brought a liter of water. The staff spoke great English and were attentive and kind. A strawberry sorbet concluded our experience. Enjoy.

Amazing meal with such fresh produce! The octopus salad and marinated anchovies and tzatziki were so delicious, the fried fish so crunchy + flavorful, we basically just stuffed ourselves! Thank you for a lovely meal!

I discovered this restaurant by chance and ended up eating here four times in a row. You can really feel the owner’s respect for food in every dish. I tried four different grilled fish, all incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked. The fried calamari is a very common dish in Greece, but here it’s by far the best I’ve ever had. The seasoning was spot on, the batter was thin and crispy, and the squid inside was tender and flavorful—some pieces were even juicy inside. The octopus salad is a must-try—I loved it so much I even ordered one to take away for breakfast. The fish soup was also a surprise; it wasn’t what I expected, but it turned out to be really delicious as well. Overall, this place is outstanding for seafood lovers. Highly recommended!

This was an amazing find near to our hotel. They are so busy always. The fish is very fresh and they show you the fish before they grill / fry. The highlight was the local small prawn fry and the mussel saganaki. A must for whoever is visiting Chania.

Amazing restaurant. Went for dinner 4 days in a row. Everything tasted very fresh and was delicious. Price is unbeatable for the quality. Service was quick which was great. Expect to line up after around 6:30-7pm. Really liked the grilled cuttlefish, fried anchovies, mushroom risotto, and shrimp pasta. Complimentary strawberry sorbet was much appreciated.

Great food and excellent service. We loved this place so much that during our very short stay in Chania, we ate here twice. The seafood is extremely delicious and fresh. I even got to choose my own fish! The prices are so decent. And after the meal, they give a complementary dessert.

Great restaurant. Very tasty food, good service and reasonable prices. Awesome grilled seabass and seabream. We've eaten twice during our stay, that says something. Be prepared to wait for your table. Roughly anything between 15 min to an hour. Food is worth the wait though. Enjoy.
