Retro 20 - El. Venizelou

The best spare ribs in Heraklion provenance

Great food, Great service and great atmosphere. The owners really make sure you get everything you need !!!

Great place for friendly service and great food. Refreshingly not like your typical taverna ?

Great friendly staff, dips nice, Cretan salad nice but too much dried bread which overwhelmed it. Just ok

We had a lovely Greek salad in retro earlier in the week it was really nice. The lady was lovely, very friendly. We would highly recommend this please

We had the gentleman steak. Loved it. Try it

Some times I wish I could give more then 5 ?. I actually think this Restaurant deserves it. This Food. This Restaurant. This small Family run place. I like to read reviews and see photos of a place I'll visit for the first time. The Satay Chicken. The BBQ ribs with sweet chilli. I must say, I've lived, not visited, but actually lived, in a lot of Asian Countries. I've never had a SATAY sauce that even comes within miles of this one. Such delicate beautiful flavours. Thick and luscious. The chicken, it is fantastic. And then. And then. The Ribs. Hahahaha! The meat actually melts in your mouth. The food is Sublime! ? The feel that this place has. Relaxed. Welcoming. Oh. I forgot the view. The Aegean. The Mountains. The Village Street. You choose. I've actually had conversations with the Owners about their food. She, a beautiful welcoming Dutch woman, holds the secret to the Satay sauce. He, a wonderful Greek man, is the one, as he explained to me, that can "feel" when the meat is ready for serving as he "Grills". We had a great time dining here. We laughed. We talked. I danced. If you are ever in Koutouloufari Village, do yourself a favour, go here. One thing. I couldn't finish it all so took it home. I carefully warmed my left overs. It EVEN TASTES GREAT the NEXT day. ????

We came across this amazing restaurant on our first night in the village. The owners are wonderful. So friendly and personable. The food was amazing. They took the time to explain the Good Friday Easter procession that came through the village and invited us to join them in it as it passed by the restaurant. It was very meaningful. Then they surprised us with some amazing apple crumble dessert!
