We visit this restaurant while staying in Agios Nicolaus. Amalthea Restaurant is very nice place. Here one can feel oneself a special guest. Waiters are polite and nice. Menu is various, you can also find menu in Russian. There is menu for children and children chairs as well. Restaurant with a beautiful view on the seafront. So you can enjoy your meal and admire the bay. This place justify its name Amalthea - horn of plenty. We ordered fish soup, lamb and fish there. All the dishes are very tasty. I recomend this place.

Having read the reviews we were tempted. So 15 mins after sitting down we had to ask to have our order taken. 3 adults and 2 children... the adults food arrived (which was good) and we had to ask to have the childrenâs meals delivered. We were told that fried food is quicker than grilled food! And so...? The adults had finished and 15 mins after that the childrenâs food arrived. We wanted to eat together! Unlikely to to re-visit.

Great place and excellent food. We took salad a'la Patriko and grilled halloum for two. Both were excellent - the best meal we got in Agios Nikolaos. Unfortunately we had no time to visit there again. Staff were very friendly and prices very reasonable. Highly recommanded!

Stumbled upon this place as it was close to our hotel, Food was good and service was great too. They have a wide selection of different types of food and what we had seemed very fresh, Wonât say itâs the best restaurant in Agios Nikolaos but would go back again if we was in the area Only downside with it itâs aimed at the Russian customers hence most of the wording of the signs and menu was in Russian. Nevertheless will visit next time in Crete

Based on the TripAdvisor reviews I chose Piato for a dinner with my kids and it was absolutely amazing. The food selection is very unique and different from all the mainstream and itâs super delicious. The waiters are super attentive, friendly especially with kids. The wine list is amazing and the waiters will give you very good recommendations and information. Just follow their advice. Itâs really a great place even though not so central. You will definitely not be disappointed! thank you very much for your visit! You are more than welcome for your next visit!

1. Gorgona Taverna
Overall Ratings

A traditional greek fish tavern right at the small port of Plaka, Elounda with a splendid view of Spinalonga Island
Reviewed By theoldwhalinghouse
Iâm very partial to grilled sardines and when I asked the concierge at my hotel at Elounda which taverna in the area served the best sardines, she at once replied: âGorgona in Plaka.âLike all recommendations in Greece, I wondered if this was a stitch-up. The taxi driver who drove me the five kilometres there and back was probably her brother; the owner of Taverna Gorgona her cousin. But the grilled sardines, cooked on an open grill were to die for. I followed the sardines with calamari, washed down with a small bottle of Retsina. The bill came to less than 15 Euros. It was a charming experience and I was furious that I had discovered it on the last night of my holiday.Like all Greek resorts, Plaka seems to have as many tavernas as residents so save yourself the agony of indecision and make straight for Gorgona. Itâs a friendly family taverna on a premium spot on the waterfront with a view of Spinalonga island. It has a very substantial menu but I suggest that you stick to what is fresh and caught locally and ask for a table outside at the waterâs edge. Now hereâs something thatâs never happened to me before: at Heraklion airport on the way home, a woman came up to me and said, âWas it you we saw having dinner at Gorgona last night?â âYes it was,â I replied, surprised. âWhy?â'My husband and I were at the table right behind you,' she said. âWe saw your sardines and ordered the same. We had the best meal of the holidayâ. âSame here,â I told her.
