Best Greek restaurant in Greece

G	Grace Wight on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent Cretean meal! We highly recommend this restaurant whilst in Heraklion. It’s a short walk from the city centre and totally worth passing other places/ going a bit further afield. We enjoyed the traditional Cretean ways of complimentary bread, dessert and raki & ouzo. For main we shared the orange salad and wild goat. We opted for greens with the goat rather than potato, due to the amount of bread that came as an appetiser. The waiter wasn’t keen on this - he said it wouldn’t taste good, and we liked his honesty and pride for his food. But safe to say the greens were delicious and everything worked really well for our taste. Overall, we highly recommend this restaurant, book ahead, and be ready to eat a lot (there were many things on the menus we were too full for!).
H	Hellen Ballestra on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Unforgettable experience! Everything great, very delicious and generous. Staff very kind and welcoming. We got so excited that we commanded a lot and we were in trouble to finish all the dishes ? We loved and for sure we’ll back.
R	Ricard “Senglar” on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Traditional Greek food, very tasty and well presented. We discovered here several traditional dishes: awesome! Totally recommended!
N	Nas A on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Just wow, everything was so delicious and tasteful. I have tried goat meat for the first time in my life and never tried it before cause I thought it would be smelly. But they made it so delicious, that I couldn’t stop to eat it. If you are in Crete, you have to go this restaurant and enjoy the traditional food
L	Lucy Driver on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is such a great neighbourhood restaurant with delicious food. Could not falter the staff, food and wine. A must visit especially because it is tucked away from the tourist hot spots. The food portions were generous and tasty, the raki was delicious and included a pomegranate infused raki. Best zucchini fritters
M	M Lee on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A lovely classy but laidback restaurant, the food is delicious and well prepared while the atmosphere is relaxed thanks to friendly staff. We tried a number of dishes, salad, apaki, wedding rice, sausage, saganaki, giant zucchini balls, stuffed vine leaves…everything was delicious and full of flavor. It’s common to get a free nibble before and/or after your meal in Greece, but Merastri went above and beyond with a platter of freshly baked breads, mint raki, and orange pie with ice cream. As a suggestion I think the zucchini balls would really benefit from some feta inside. I would definitely return and recommend Merastri.
S	Sa Wu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Fantastic dinner for 5 and my favorite from a week of generally quite excellent food in Crete. My favorites: super tender melty young goat, and Galaktoboureko (sugary love apparently needing 40min of preparation so order it at the beginning)
G	George Solidakis on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were there by chance and we were delighted to taste traditional food in a very nice, well decorated place - most probably an old house treated with love! The staff was friendly and helpful and the food was excellent! Their cook improvised with a traditional karydopitta that lefta us speechless! A must visit. We will be there again definitely!
