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

  • Charcoal-grilled steak, lamb and pork, fresh fish, octopus and calamari, or simpler snacks throughout the day. The drinks include local wines from the barrel, draught and bottled beers.

  • Multinational restaurant including Italian, Chinese and Indian thali dishes as well as many Greek favourites.

  • Cretan and Greek dishes as well as Italian and international cuisine in elegant surroundings. The lobster with filet mignon àla Café de Paris is a house speciality.

  • The international Hard Rock brand offers a familiar blend of cold beer, burgers and cocktails, attracting locals and visitors.

  • Hearty Cretan cooking in a family-run place. Specials include sygouri (meat soup) and a selection of grilled meat dishes.

  • Bright and cheerful café-bar, offering fresh fruit juice and yoghurt for breakfast and cold drinks throughout the day. An internet café is upstairs.

  • Virtually 24-hour drinking is the main selling point of this bar, attracting those who like to party all night and sleep on the beach all day.

  • Despite its Italianate name, this taverna on a side lane off Malia’s main street has good Cretan dishes and an assortment of Greek grills and salads.

  • Loukoulos, Irakleio

    Probably the best restaurant in Irakleio, serving Italian cuisine in up-market surroundings (white linen tablecloths and candles in the evening) in a room decorated with antique prints and paintings.
