What to expect
Reviewers mention breakfasts, club sandwiches and salads, pizza and desserts, plus cocktails and music in the evening. The atmosphere is relaxed, and it works well as a break between the Fortezza, the Rimondi Fountain and the harbour.
When to go
Morning for breakfast and coffee, or early evening for a drink before dinner elsewhere in the old town. Opening days and seasons change. Check with the restaurant before you go, especially outside July and August.
If you want a taverna
For traditional Cretan dishes, look at the old-town tavernas around the Rimondi Fountain and the Venetian harbour, or book Avli for a special dinner.
