Melanourgia

A large, silver-scaled fish with tasty white flesh; it’s usually grilled.
Melitzanosalata

A delicious savoury dip made by pureeing grilled aubergines with herbs, usually served with crusty bread.
Minos, Irakleio

Lamb baked with yoghurt is the speciality of this unassuming, cheerful restaurant which is as popular with Irakleians as it is with visitors.
MoCafe, Irakleio

Handily located opposite the Irakleio Archeological Museum, MoCafe has a cool, arched interior with marble floor and an eclectic collection of modern art on the walls. It serves filled baguettes, juices, shakes, beers and coffee.
New York, Chersonisos

On the beach close to the entrance of the harbour, New York starts the day as a beach bar serving breakfasts, snacks and cold drinks, and after sunset metamorphoses into a noisy, lively music bar.
Nikos Platanakis, Kato Zakros

On a terrace overlooking the sea, this restaurant serves fish, game and vegetarian meals.
O Kyriakos, Irakleio

In traditional taverna style, you will be beckoned into the kitchen of this old-fashioned restaurant with smoke-stained, woodpanelled walls to choose your meal from bubbling pots or glass cases filled with fish, chops and vegetables.
Octopus (Oktapodi)

A favourite accompaniment to a glass of ouzo, raki or retsina is a dish of octopus chunks, cooked in oil, herbs and vinegar, and served cold.
Old House Tavern, Malia

The international dishes and Greek favourites are good value at this restaurant in the old part of Malia, which has tables in a shady courtyard.
Olives

You will see more than 40 different kinds of olive for sale in Greek markets. Their strong flavours complement a glass of retsina wonderfully.
