Went for some traditional food and we left with a wonderful dinner and experience
We had a perfect, delicious diner.
The service and the dishes were good. We felt special that evening, thnx for that.
We came to Thigaterra with a very specific purpose. We wanted to understand Cretan food, not simply eat it. We had Peskesi at one end of our trip, helping us understand the roots and traditions of Cretan cuisine, and Thigaterra at the other, showing us where those traditions can go today. Together, they gave us a frame for understanding everything else we ate in Crete.
And what a spectacular meal.
I had assumed that “Slow Food” might mean settling in for a four- or five-hour dinner. Quite the opposite. The meal flowed beautifully, dishes arrived remarkably quickly, and nothing ever felt rushed. The food was thoughtful, beautifully executed, and deeply connected to Crete while still feeling contemporary.
We were three Canadians enthusiastically attempting our broken Greek, and the staff could not have been more gracious about it, rescuing us with English whenever necessary. The beer was cold, the service was charming and genuinely kind, and we felt wonderfully looked after throughout the meal.
If you are coming to Crete and want not just an excellent meal but a better understanding of what Cretan food can be, I cannot recommend Thigaterra highly enough. It was one of the meals that helped us understand the island. Five stars across the board.
This was a recommendation from an employee at the wine store. The reasturant is so cute and cozy with ample parking. The food was amazing and the service felt very personal. I would highly recommend. (Visiting from Toronto Canada)
We loved the service and the food is always high quality, and the dessert was out of this world 😊Highly recommended!
Accueil charmant, service impeccable et la nourriture délicieuse une découverte qui vaut vraiment la peine je vous recommande d'y aller
Ζεστό περιβάλλον με ωραίες, ξεχωριστές κρητικές γεύσεις. το επισκέφτηκα για 2η φορά και έμεινα εξίσου ευχαριστημένος όπως την 1η φορα.
Πολύ ωραίος χώρος με χαλαρή μουσική,ευγενικό προσωπικό,και πάρα πολύ νόστιμο φαγητό, ιδανικό για παρέες και ζευγάρια.
A lovely restaurant overall, so good that we went twice! Service was superb!
εξαιρετικό περιβάλλον, φαγητό και πάρα πολύ καλή εξυπηρέτηση
Το προσωπικό ήταν πάρα πολύ εξυπηρετικό. Μας ενημέρωσαν για όλα τα πιάτα με λεπτομέρειες. Το φαγητό εξαιρετικό. Σίγουρα θα το προτιμήσω ξανά.

A tester ABSOLUMENT si vous passez par Heraklion !
The goat was probably the best thing I ate on crete. The dishes were perfectly balanced with massive flavor and just the right amount of healthy. Staff was helpful and attentive.
Thank you
Ci siamo trovati bene, sono celiaca e conoscono bene la problematica, cosa non da poco per Creta 😅
Una nota di merito sicuramente al pesce il più buono mangiato su quest’isola!!
Much recommended with excellent service . all dishes were delicious
We were staying in the area and decided to give this restaurant a try. We were not disappointed. The meal and service we had was good enough for us to book a table for a couple of days later.
Αν θες κάτι το ξεχωριστό σίγουρα αξίζει να το επισκεφτείς , απλώς καλό θα ήταν να κάνεις ένα research στο μενού νωρίτερα για να δεις αν είναι κοντά στις γεύσεις σου .
Fantastic Food, fantastic Service, fantastic Ambience!
