Tavern Katerina - Siteia

A great place where you can eat local dishes well and tasty for a decent price. Everything is freshly prepared. Taverna is a family business and this is also why you can feel like you are staying with good old friends. When you arrive, go to the back of the restaurant to the garden where you will find a table for yourself under a fig or olive tree :

Unassuming on the outside, the great food is definitely worth a visit. Don’t hesitate to enter, even if you think you might be the only guest. Katerina and her son are very friendly and cook great local food. Ask for daily specials, we had lamb from the oven, delicious! The seating area in the garden in the back is very nice and quiet.

This is a great local restaurant with a cute garden. We tried traditional food such as Shrimp Saganaki and fried Zucchini balls. We enjoyed it very much. The staff is super friendly, the food reasonably priced. It's a great alternative to hotel food, so go support local restaurants!

We visited this Tavern three times in one week, that probably already says enough. Every single dish is delicious, we tried most of the starters and a few main courses. The host is super friendly and gives you a very warm welcome. His mother is the genius cook, his lovely daughter serves as well. An absolute must-visit on your trip to south Crete!

A very comfortable atmosphere, we picked figs from the tree above our table, we loved the beautiful garden, and how we were treated so graciously. We had no idea what we wanted, we just knew we wanted authentic traditional food. We were treated to many different family recipes. We left stuffed, and amazed.
