Three restaurants in Crete we loved

October 2, 2019

Peskeci is in Heraklion. It’s a farm-to-table restaurant (they have their own farm). The food was quite good based on very high-quality ingredients. Their bread could be better but I was happy it was served with organic olive oil from their farm.

Domenico is a small tavern owned and run by our new friend George who goes by the nickname of Smoothie. He’s is smooth indeed. His charming personality and the simple but well-prepared dishes made by his wife are definitely worth the visit. The food was fresh and delicious. And the desserts were good. I especially enjoyed the homemade ice cream made with sheep milk.

We also enjoyed a delightful lunch at a restaurant right on the beach, called Dolphin. To our delight, the food was great and, of course, it was fabulous sitting at a table on the beach enjoying stunning views of the Mediterranean with the hill perched town in the background.
