Had a really nice evening. The service and food was very good. It was a windy evening and we appreciated the outdoor area with glass so we could still enjoy the views but stay our of the wind.

Cadre très sympathique avec des serveurs tout autant sympas. Que ce soit le bœuf l’agneau le bar ou la dorade tout était très bon. Seul petit bémol, les frites auraient pu être meilleures malgré le fait qu’elles soient maison.

Fantastic view of Spinalonga! Service was also very friendly. The food was OK.

Sehr leckeres , wenn auch etwas teures Essen. Man bezahlt sicher auch den Ausblick mit, aber dieser ist phänomenal

Recommandé par des professionnels du tourisme à Heraklion, ce restaurant tient largement la promesse. Le lieu est superbe, avec sa terrasse en bord de mer et sa décoration marine. Les serveurs sont sympathiques et donnent de bons conseils en termes de plats. La carte est variée. La gastronomie proposée est top niveau, avec un carrousel de saveurs et une présentation de qualité. Les prix sont corrects au regard de la qualité proposée et du standing assumé. Je recommande donc à mon tour ce restaurant.

Todo está bueno, pescado fresco, buen vino y buenos productos. Si estáis en la zona oriental de Creta, este es el mejor restaurante. Es un poco más caro que los restaurantes griegos en general, pero es asequible. No os defraudará.

Giovanni's offers not only an exceptional culinary experience but also a spectacular view of Spinalonga Island. Dining here provides a front-row seat to this breathtaking scenery, adding to the overall charm of the restaurant.
And the food, oh my! We were absolutely shocked by how amazing it was. Each dish was a revelation, and we couldn't believe how incredibly delicious everything tasted. It was truly a dining experience like no other, and I can confidently say I've never eaten so well. Combined with Giovanni's warm hospitality, a visit to Giovanni's is an unforgettable culinary journey.

The fish was superb!
It looked nice brown grilled, the skin was supercrispy, the flesh was juicy. The best way to make the fish, for sure. Best Cook! One thing: Next time the bread should be better for such a high restaurant level. Prices are high.

Dubbel gevoel. De gegrilde vis is zeer goed bereid, niet te gaar, maar precies goed dus grote complimenten voor de kok! Het brood was oud helaas en wij kregen niet de wijn die we besteld hadden (let hier op!)dus dat zijn minpunten. De lokatie is absoluut geweldig zo aan het water met dit uitzicht! Prijs wat te hoog voor het niveau, zeker voor het voorgerecht en gezien het oude brood. Wel echt genoten van de heerlijke vis.

Came here for dinner with a group of friends, we hadn't made a booking, so we're very pleased they could seat us. Food was delicious and atmosphere was great. Staff were quick and friendly. A great local restaurant.

We visited Spinalonga island (site of interest) and then we decided to have a small lunch at the village opposite, Plaka. The food was quite tasty but overpriced for the quality and the area. This kind of food you can have anywhere in Crete at much better prices. We believe they take advantage of the touristic attraction of Spinalonga

Forcing dès notre arrivée, 12 minis sardines 12€ évidemment sans accompagnement. 6 petites crevettes ramollies et juste snackées 19€ ! Je voulais un risotto aux fruits de mer et on m’a dit impossible car les sardines de Mr sont déjà cuites donc j’opte pour des moules mais le serveur revient me dire qu’il n’y en a pas !

15 € Par personne difficile à moins de manger uniquement 2 entrées et pour 2 personnes. On sent venir le touriste et la daurade pour 2 même si elle était bonne à 75 € c'est quand même un peu excessif.

The spreads, appetizers and salad were delicious, the main courses were just ok. We shared the squid risotto which was decent and a local fish that was ok. I wanted to add shrimps, which was no problem, but luckily my partner asked about the size of those…and after hearing “giant” we decided to only order two (instead of four). The waiter should have said something…they were gigantic indeed, more like small lobsters and four would have been too much. And…the price was 42 EUR per shrimp! My fault for not asking, but they should be a bit more forward with pricing.
