Paliomylos traditional restaurant - Paliomylos traditional restaurant

Delicious food - especially enjoyed the home made(?) feta in the Greek salad. Divine!

Wow! Thank you very much for the outstanding dinner at your place! First, ambiente and looks are top! There was no menu, bit something much better: a variety of local traditional meats, rabbit, beef, panzeta, bifteki!

What a fantastic experience! The food is one thing - and its excellent (locally produced and homemade), but the people there are really what make the evening dinner experience quite unique. The Cretan hospitality at its finest ????? Ps: take a taxi ?

Lovely and friendly people playing local sunday tunes in beautiful surroundings. Can recommend this cozy spot in the hills for all people in need of a break. 5*

The best meal we've eaten in the whole week. They don't have any menus. She will bring dishes one by one until you are full. All ingredients are local. Feta is from the goat keeper as the lamb what they use. Absolutely stunning food. Highly recomended!!!

The food actually tasted great and the service was very friendly and cordial. BUT: In winter, smoking is allowed inside in the very small room. We were horrified. If the owner himself encourages everyone at the neighbouring table to smoke, why should a guest want to do so ask the service to stop smoking (which can normally be assumed, as there is even a sign in the room). We did not enjoy the meal, unfortunately. How can a chef assume that his food, cooked with love, will not spoil the meal for non-smokers because of the smell of smoke in the air - disgusting and anti-social. On top of that, we had "fun" with the cigarette smoke afterwards: we only got the stench removed from our coats by professional cleaning.

YOU SHOULD COME HERE. If want some real authenticity, don't bother anything else in the immediate vicinity. Things to know: 1. Don't come if you are not hungry - they feed you until you cannot eat anymore, then feed you again. You can't move onto the next plate until it's all finished, everything. 2. Cannot guarantee that Vegans/Veges will thrive here. If you enjoy quality meat, then venture forth. THERE IS NO MENU! 3. Cash only. 4. Spare minimum 3 hours. This is an experience not a quick stop. 5. Make sure to dance with locals OR drink enough Wine & Raki until you are brave enough. The food was beautiful, Don't underestimate the images. The 'fried potato' isn't what you're banking on, its the meat flavour and quality. All cooked in the outdoor clay oven & grilled, the setting is beautiful, its a proper village with a proper village community where the locals sing and shout because that's just what they appear to be doing in happiness. All the meat is locally sourced, and every dish is random, Everything is fresh and flavourful. The wines are young and dangerous - be warned - but your hangover will be a fraction of what it is usually. Tip generously otherwise you don't deserve a table.

FANTASTIC. Best food and best experience we had on our holiday. Real local taverna. No menu, they just bring what they have prepared that day. All delicious. Food is all super fresh, most ingredients from the chefs/owners garden or local farmers. Eleni is the best host - so welcoming and friendly. Just a great experience that will live long in the memory. We drove a long way to come back a second time! A highlight of our holiday.
