Parasties

A local gem! Unpretentious food cooked with flavour and imagination! My hubby is gluten-free and there were many options to choose from which is always important for us. We started with a mixed salad with lovely petite, black-eyed peas. It was big enough to share and had a lovely light lemon and oil dressing. Also as an appetizer, we had the tuna tartar, served on top of wilted spinach with minced carrot and cucumber topped with watercress. Hubby had the roasted lamb, which was really quite spectacular and I had the roasted rabbit with thin-sliced potatoes on the bottom and a lovely béchamel sauce on top - very delicious with subtle flavours that really let the rabbit sing. As is Cretan tradition, they offered us a free dessert and when they found out he couldn’t have wheat provided us with a beautiful dessert made from whipped meringues with corn flour topped with a homemade marmalade. It was large enough to share and was absolutely what we hoped for… super light and not too sweet. Service was impeccable, and our waiter was even kind enough to provide us with some suggestions for live music written on a piece of paper. Highly recommended!

Very good food and local food.. Staff excellent.. Gluten free not labelled but both the waitress and cook knew what they were doing and could describe with confidence which dishes very naturally gluten free or could be adapted to be Gluten free. The balcony had nice view across the sea
