Ta Leontaria, Irakleio

Beneath the city walls, this old-fashioned patisserie serves Greek coffee, frappé, espresso and cappuccino, ices and creamfilled pastries.
Tamam, Chania

Popular with Chania’s locals as well as holidaymakers, Tamam has a menu that takes in cuisine from right around the shores of the Eastern Mediterranean. Good choice for vegetarians too (see Tamam, Chania).
Tamam, Chania

A wide range of Greek, Levantine and Cretan dishes, with a better choice of non-meat dishes than most of its rivals.
Taverna Auoas, Agios Nikolaos

Handily located close to the Archaeological Museum, this taverna serves a wide variety of well-prepared traditional Cretan dishes.
Taverna Pelagos, Agios Nikolaos

A fine old taverna close to the fishing harbour, noted locally for its seafood. Its courtyard suits summer dining.
Taverna tou Zissi, Rethymno

Zissi looks rather unprepossessing at first, housed in a drab concrete building. But inside, it serves some of the best food around. The charcoal-grilled lamb alone is worth a trip from Rethymno (see Taverna tou Zissi, Rethymno).
Taverna tou Zissi, Rethymno

On the old Irakleio highway, 4km (2 miles) east of Rethymno, Zissi’s charcoal-grilled lamb and chicken are worth the short trip from town.
The Four Lions, Irakleio

A rooftop café open from early morning until late at night. It offers a panoramic view of the older part of Irakleio as well as cold drinks, snacks, wines, spirits and cocktails.
The Old Mill, Elounda

The most luxurious dining on the Elounda Peninsula is in the gourmet restaurant of the Elounda Mare hotel.
The menu is fabulous, combining the best of Greek cooking with world-class cuisine, and dining is accompanied by piano music. There are only 20 covers, so booking well ahead is essential. Dress code formal (see The Old Mill, Elounda).
The Old Mill, Elounda
