Stayed at the Minoa Palace hotel so this restaurant was right on our doorstep. Visited twice during our weeks stay (10th - 17th Sept) as the food and atmosphere were great. George and his team are so friendly and attentive but not overpowering. Good home...cooked food. Will be back to see you all next year.More

We visited on our first night as it was close to our hotel (Minoa Palace) and what a great choice as we ended up going 4 times during our stay. The Pizza’s are without doubt the best we have ever tasted. Every time we went...we had excellent food and service and all so very cheap. The house wine was excellent and better than the bottles and very reasonably priced. Even when I was out jogging or walking the staff always had time to chat and exchange funny stories. They are a credit to the owner. Fresh water melon provided as a complimentary dessert and a small bottle of Raki to round off the evening went down a treat. A must visit restaurant for not only food but a great atmosphere. Thank you to everyoneMore

We were staying in Minoa Place 14 to 21 June 2019. We visited Vanila twice for lunch. The first time we kebab and chicken/mushrooms. The second time we shared a Greek salad and pizza (half Hawaii and half spicy. The food was fresh, was presented...and served in good time. The staff were friendly. The prices were good. We recommend.More

An extremely good restaurant with incredibly good staff who are eager to please. The food is excellent and very reasonably priced.

We were looking for a location where we could celebrate the diamant wedding anniversary of my parents. this location were opposite of their hotel and they had lunch there the day before and that was good. So we asked for a table for 18 persons...and asked for menu recommendation and we chose to do it the Greek way and share a variety of food. They even organized champagne for us on short notice. When we arrived the next day they decorated a nice table and the food and service was simply perfect, tasty food and very good service and quite some Raki at the end 😉👍. Ask for recommendations and today’s special and you will not be disappointed.More

After just arriving in Platanias, we found this beautiful restaurant along the road. It is a very accessible and convenient area to eat. The food was phenomenal and the service was great. It is not a Plaka environment with tourist everywhere. The owner George came...to sit with us and explain everything about the Cretan way of life.. highly recommend.More

Very warm and welcoming service! Food was good and especially banana split as a dessert was delicious. Typical Greek restaurant.
