Amphora Taverna - Chania

Really good food and service. Before getting the bill, we received some sweet wine and dessert on the house. Totally recommend getting some olives pasta as appetizer, and the tuna steak.

Fantastic food at Chania, probably the best fried calamari I have ever tried , soft and yummie , great octopus and everything! Complimentary Greek wine and small Choco dessert , thank you to make Crete so yummie and special!

We were in Chania for a week, and this was the only restaurant that we liked enough to visit twice. My teen daughter was pulled in by the claims of all of the good reviews, which almost made me leery to try. But as it turned out, the good reviews are warranted. We opted not to sit in the first line closest to the water (which people clamor to get), because we didn 't want passers by looking over our plates. But even in the second or third line, the view of the harbor is not diminished. The food is excellent among other things, we tried the pork risotto, shrimp risotto, fried calamari, stuffed peppers, meatballs portions were generous (we never finished our plates) and tasty. I would call it Greek comfort food something you would expect a local yia yia to make for you. Being from the Southeast U.S., we 'll eat anything fried, but their fried zucchini was a standout...light and crispy and perfectly salted. The baklava (enough for the three of us) was to die for and the best we had in our 3 week trip to Greece. Not overly sweet, with buttery pastry and tons of fillings. I would fly back just for that! The staff is well coordinated, and even though they stayed busy, we never lacked for service. If we come back to Chania, we will definitely return to Amphora.

Great view, delicious food (I ordered fish soup, and I absolutely enjoyed it), nice people, and sweet vine and tarts as a gift were amazing!

Lovely food and good service. Ingredients are fresh and local and the view over the harbour is very nice.
