Anemos, Paleochora

A colourful ouzeri-bar, just a few steps from Paleochora’s eastern waterfront and ferry dock, serving delicious snacks and light meals, well-priced beers, wines and cocktails. All drinks are accompanied by generous portions of traditional meze. Friendly service, good music and a lively Greek atmosphere.
Anna Bei 1900, Ierapetra

As well as a proper restaurant, this all-purpose nightspot also has a traditional café and ouzo bar, serving meze in the courtyard of an attractively restored old building (see Anna Bei 1900, Ierapetra).
Aroma, Chania

With tables on the east side of the harbour, Aroma is a popular rendezvous for young locals. Fine views of the harbour and a pleasant place for breakfast, morning coffee, an aperitif or after-dinner drinks.
Avli, Rethymno

With its pretty garden setting, this is one of the town’s finest. Mainly grilled and roasted meats, and Cretan favourites such as apatzia sausages and roasted goat.
Avli, Rethymno

This elegant courtyard restaurant is, arguably, the best in Rethymno. A pretty garden provides the setting for the traditional grilled and roasted meat dishes, served alongside traditional Cretan favourites such as apatzia (smoked sausages) and roast goat (see Avli, Rethymno).
Baked Potatoes

Another typical winter snack served in mountain village ouzeries, often cooked in a wood-burning stove in the middle of the café.
Barbounia

Small red mullet appear on almost every tourist menu, pan-fried or grilled. Each fish provides only a few delicious mouthfuls – beware of bones!
Café Antico, Rethymno

A prettily decorated and newly opened café, opposite Rethymno’s Rimondi Fountain and close to some of the best shopping in town.
Chardonnay Boutari

Dry, white varietal wine – great with seafood and cheese.
Ciao, Irakleio

The big, breezy self-service café beside the Morosini Fountain offers cold drinks, snacks, pizza, pasta and cooked breakfasts.
