Ο Κήπος της Φροσύνης - Frosinis Garden - Unnamed Rd

They haven't invented the words yet to describe this place, but I will do my best. This is a love letter. 1. FIRST THINGS FIRST: THE best moussaka ever! EVER! Three of us tasted it and our reaction was to blissfully smile in religious silence in a mix of emotion and disbelief for how good it was. All our friends had an amazing time watching us getting shocked for what an amazing dish it was. If you're not vegetarian, this dish is a MUST. Try it! It's a mystical experience. 2. LOCAL, AUTHENTIC AND SEASONAL: Everything is a farm-to-table products, produced by themselves or local small farmers. And I mean everything! Even the wine, soft drinks and raki! The dishes depend on seasonal availability, which means that they don't have a menu for choosing as they change so often. They tell you by voice the available dishes, it can be overwhelming at the beginning, but just ask them to repeat the dishes as many times as you need and trust your gut feeling. 3. EVERYONE IS WELCOME: You love meat? Are you vegetarian? Vegan? Gluten-free? NO PROBLEM! This place is for everyone. The place has a big garden and plenty of room outside, which I think enables you to bring your dogs (I think they are allowed). 4. GREAT PEOPLE: The owner of the restaurant is a very great guy! He quickly connected with us and gave us a tour of the outdoor kitchen, which includes typical wood ovens and grills. He was so happy to proudly show us how they do things. As a guest, it's always very nice to see the personnel of the restaurant taking pride in what they do and not experience it "just as a job" they have to do. At the beginning they gave us "welcoming refreshments" including water, raki (Greek liquor) and bread. Later they started to send over other things on the house including two extra jar of wine, two trays of sweets and I think they didn't charge is the extra bread. Never in my life a restaurant has offered me so many things on the house. 5. THE PRICE: after having a great time, big portions and enough drinks to get tipsy we were expecting to be shocked by receiving an expensive bill. As mentioned above, they don't have menus and they tell you the available dishes by voice, which means you don't know the prices of what you are ordering. And indeed we were shocked... by how cheap it was! We couldn't believe it. 126€ for nine people having starters, main dishes, desserts and drinks. That's less than 15€ each!! Being a group of friends travelling from Italy, Germany, Netherlands, France, Croatia and the UK, we were expecting to spend way more. Receiving a small bill at the end of our dinner was the perfect happy conclusion of our night out. 6. SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT: If I have to be picky, the place does not have a credit card reader, which in 2020 it's not acceptable although it's a common problem in Greece. If they could adopt a simple method for electronic payments, like SumUp or similar, it would be a great improvement for their customers. 7. TIPS FOR YOU: bring cash with you as they don't accept credit cards. Try to arrive at the place a bit before sunset, so you have enough time to enjoy the garden and the landscape. I hope this was useful and that you'll enjoy your experience as much as we did! WE WILL COME BACK!

Fantastic place not too far from Sirili. No set menu, the waiter/owner tells us what they have today, and then you can choose. The food is made in a wood oven. This taverna har local Greek dishes, and the food is just really, really good! I recommend the mushrooms, the chicken and the salads. The taverna is in a field with a garden, and they grow a lot of the vegetables that they use. It is a very cozy place and if you go there once, you just have to go back again. They also have a 9 year old horse (called Mary) that behaves like a dog and wants to be scratched and begs for bread.

Lovely restaurant in the hills outside of the town. Very friendly staff and great tasting food. Good for couples and larger groups, you will need a car to get there.

Very nice setting, see the photos. The food typical quality cretan food with traditional preparation.

One of the best kept secrets of Crete! You absolutely must go no matter where you are staying on the island. I only wish I could have gone more than once. I would visit Crete again simply for another meal here. Go now!

The food is great despite the fact that there is no fish in the menu. They make great moussaka, feta cheese in the oven is very, very good and the grilled meat dishes are yummy. They served us with an orange cake that is simply delicious. Great location, the garden is beautiful and appropriate for kids also.

Such an unique experience! Very lovely family owned restaurant. Nothing fancy, but unusual, because it’s a garden restaurant. Authentic cretan food-cooked on fire ?. My husband and I highly recommend this place.???

Boy did we heat the jackpot with this family restaurant five star all the way in nature‘s Gardens!!! All good nothing bad… Not really good amazing really!!!
