Why Travelers Love Thigaterra -
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Probably the best food wr had during our stay in Crete. Quality food that really does reflect the artistic nature that goes into it with delicious twists on classic greek items. I had the beef cheeks which were absolutely melt in your mouth and my wife had the gnocchi with smoked pork and sundried tomatoes. Safe to say we rolled out of there thanks to the generous portions and incredibly reasonable prices. Atmosphere is super cool and all the staff was welcoming and attentive. Just a short 10 minute walk from Agapi Beach Hotel too! Very great evening spent here with great ambience and interior! Everything was delicious. The presentation of the food was gorgeous you could see the effort put behind every meal. Wanted to highlight one dish but I simply can't, because of how much I liked all. Compliments to the chef and staff! Enjoyed every second! This place is just amazing, it’s slightly higher end, the waiters are great, they served the food with a spicy salt with orange zest which was really interesting and can be bought at their shop in house. The calamari was delicious and they even made an off the menu vegan mushroom risotto dish for my boyfriend, because they had nothing vegan in the menu! Excellent customer service!

The absolute highlight of our Cretan experience, which includes 3 different years and 5 different places. The rustic local atmosphere, the friendly wait staff, and, above all, the food with an extra twist were all fabulous.Don’t reject the offer of their bread - it’s an experience 😋. The only problem is - you‘ll be hungry again in less than two weeks.

The food was not impressive at all. I had beef liver. It was rolled in something very sweet.. terrible. Still feel the taste... we also had the Dip.. tasteless. Sorry. My expectations maybe where too big since I read all these nice reviews about the place... I am ok with sweet jam an meet.. but this was beyond acceptable amount of everything...
