This article guides you to Chania’s most unmissable restaurants, where you can enjoy traditional Cretan dishes or creative culinary exploration, at restaurants that reflect the island’s rich gastronomic heritage and evolving food culture.


01

Dounias

Dounias stands out in Chania’s restaurant scene, offering its (loyal) diners a rich, rustic dining experience based on its organic farms and fire-cooking methods. This spot has shunned electricity since it reached the village in 1986. The menu includes slow-cooked potatoes fried in olive oil, melt-in-your-mouth chickpeas, and a unique chestnut stew with beetroot. Their bread, artfully made from sourdough and mixed wheat, pairs perfectly with their tangy village salad. Everything is grown or raised on-site, ensuring freshness, authenticity and full-impact flavor.

Just a short walk north, near the old port warehouses, this multi-awarded place is the pinnacle of traditional Cretan cuisine. It specializes in dishes from the Sfakia region in Crete, many of them prepared in a wood-fired oven, which enhances flavors. The warm, genuine hospitality makes it a must-visit and reservations are recommended due to its popularity. Highlights include homemade bread, wine-marinated rabbit, herb-filled pastries, staka with eggs, roasted lamb with potatoes, lamb with wild greens, and tender sheep wrapped in parchment.

Housed in a historic building from the 1400s, originally a Venetian public bath and later an Ottoman steam bath, this restaurant offers a menu that caters to diverse tastes.

The wine list prioritizes Greek wines, particularly those from Crete. For the best pairings, ask the waitstaff for recommendations.

Here you’ll enjoy a vibrant space that channels the spirit of a Mexican hacienda with its bold colors and Latin American touches. The atmosphere is relaxed, and there is a welcoming courtyard. One corner houses a traditional underground barbacoa oven, made from 100-year-old Cretan firebricks. Here, they slow-roast organic pork from Vavouraki Farm and local goats, occasionally wrapping them in fresh banana leaves for a unique flavor. The chef-owner spoils guests with an original Cretan-Mexican fusion cuisine. Highlights include rice with sea snails, sofrito of guajillo pepper, and barbacoa goat with carob tortillas, nut sauce, pickled hibiscus onions, and his signature hot sauce.
