The best restaurants Plakias

In principle it is the hotel's self-service restaurant, but since it faces the beach, guests also order from their deckchairs. It is therefore open to everyone, and you will always find a waiter who speaks very good French. Breakfasts, dinners or lunches: the food is excellent and there is a choice among all the specialities on offer. There is something for everyone and all sauces. The meat comes directly from the farm of the owners who only use their olive oil in the kitchen.

A very beautiful establishment that, beyond its modern decor, reinvents traditional Cretan cuisine. The ingredients are of the highest quality and the menu changes regularly to ensure more freshness and creativity. A refined address that fills up quickly in season

In a rustic setting (stone and wood) we taste very original garlic bread and pizzas are prepared on site, with a homemade pasta. They are cooked in olive wood fire in a traditional brick oven before our eyes. Beyond the pizzas at the wood fire, traditional Cretan cuisine of quality.

This pretty house which opens onto the small port and the beach is home to one of the best taverns in Plakias since 1949. On its large terrace shaded by large tamarisk trees, you will enjoy succulent dishes with your feet in the water. The dishes are indeed more refined than elsewhere thanks to the owner Manolis, who also works in the kitchen. Enjoy, among others, fried or grilled octopus, grilled squid, fresh fish. As everywhere, check the price per kilo of fresh fish to avoid unpleasant surprises at the time of the bill.

In addition to the fish and seafood that are here, there are traditional Cretan dishes, economic menus, many vegetarian dishes. Desserts and bread are freshly prepared in kitchen by the owner himself. It is copied in a beautiful setting facing the sea. You could be cooled by the downside of the servers on the terrace but the food does not disappoint. Very good value for money. It's the kind of place where you feel good and where you're happily coming back.
