The flavors of the food and the ambience of the restaurant made the perfect ending to our first day in Chania. We were able to get a table outside to view the sunset fortunately but I would suggest making a reservation to guarantee your spot outside. Manos our server for the evening was very knowledgeable of the menu items and made wonderful recommendations. We had the Ceviche and the Calamari. Both were made perfectly. We will be back again.

Right on the waterfront just west of the Chania old center, only a few minute walk, with a great sunset view. We would come back here to try more of the dishes. The Octopus was a stand out.

We showed up at 5:45 and they gave us a table that was reserved for 8:00pm and warned us we’d have to be done by then (no problem for us! The food was very aesthetic and yummy and service was friendly. The view was awesome as the outdoor tables are right across the street from the beach. It is recommended shared family style, and ordered smallest descending to largest portions on their menu. They recommend reservations, particularly busy around sunset.

It’s better to reserve a table, as it’s normally fully booked in the evenings. A must visit when you are at Chania.
