Εν Ελλάδι - ΚΟΛΥΜΒΑΡΙ Α.Τ.Ε

One word - wow! Amazing view, amazing food and such friendly staff. A little snack as an appetiser and the dessert on the house ? We will be back tomorrow.

Beautiful food, great looking restaurant family of 5 were not disappointed. Prices were lower than eating in Chania so fantastic value.

First of all when we got inside it took my breath away because I didn't realise the restaurant is right on the edge of the sea! You literally dine on the beach! It is a family run place. One of the sons is a chef here and let me tell you, he's a good one. We've chosen a fresh lobster (from a drawer with different fish & seafood!) which has been grilled for us and served with some sort of local veg, which name I can't remember but it was very tasty. The lobster was the best I've ever had. The other favourite of mine will be the starter - octopus salad. It was so good it's unbelievable...it was served warm first of all and it was so tender, full of flavor, we've been told is boiled first and then cooked with carrots and herbs in the local olive oil. I loved it. And then the dessert, which I was not supposed to have at all but they brought us a piece of orange cake to try and it must be seriously the best orange cake I've ever tasted! It was light and fluffy and not too sweet (like the rest that I've tried in Crete) even now when I think about it my mouth is watering! They also do a homemade rose liquor, which we tasted as a digestive at the end and I really enjoyed it (since I don't like grappa and most spirits), it was flavoursome and of the right strength and not too sweet, I'm going to buy a bottle of this before we go back home. I can't recommend it enough, I will definitely be back!

Amazing location service just OK food just OK prices super Duper not OK…expensive

Beautiful, friendly tavern / restaurant / small hotel in excellent spot few meters away from the Kolymvari beach. Great food, beautiful view from tavern and from small roof garden, friendly owners and very helpful stuff. They offer some local products to buy. And the atmosphere is amazing!

Outstanding welcoming service. This establishment have an excellent verity of high quality local dishes and deserts, you can't get enough. There is a good selection of wines, and a small shop where you can get the local alcoholic beverages and some souvenirs. Visited three times I. Week visit.

Beautiful place! Another Greek restaurant that tries to raise the standard from the popular and typically Greek, to a more exclusive experience. Have you succeeded? well, a litle bit, but there is a long way to go!

With all my respect ... but just an average tourist place, sorry. Luckily, there are plenty of alternatives in Kolymbari. Menu looked promising, so we hit the shot. Crete-typical dakos: If we haven't had better before (just a few steps away from this place), I would have never ordered them again. But as we knew from two days ago: they CAN taste fantastic and we absolutely love those. But not these.... A sprinkle of olive oil could have helped, maybe. But as a lack of oil dispensers.... it didn't happen. The mussels and vongole: starter size is alright, but too many of dead (closed) shells. Sauce was tasty, but bread or spoons were missing, so .... can't have it. Yes, I could have asked for things. But the waiters were very reserved and obviously "just" employees. Not very keen on the famous greek hospitality. I just didn't bother to ask them for each and every thing. Retsina: also had better. We didn't finish it. Iced tea is good (Lipton). Soup: ...says on the board to ask for it. But they didn't have any or didn't want to understand soupa/zomos/soup/..... Complementary desert: two scoops of very creamy yoghurt with sauce - for the four of us.... All in all: I would walk a few more steps and be better off, with the whole experience.
