The best dinner in Malia! All homemade, a huge difference from the other touristy and crowded places in the centre. Also recommended for families (balloons and ice cream offered for children, as well as many dishes that are also suitable for children) and for those who must eat gluten-free. Marvelous! It's a small, simple place, but it offers an unforgettable experience with Greek cuisine!!
Known for light, crispy waffles and delicious cones, this spot offers generous portions and a cozy terrace by the port.

Large selection of ice cream flavors, including vegan and gluten-free options. I had dark chocolate and Happy Hippo. My friend had Bueno, also very tasty. Both highly recommended! Price performance is good, €5 for two scoops (large portion).

Great food, nice surroundings, and great service. Unlike many other restaurants here, Notos is not by the main road and offers a quiet atmosphere.
Also a good restaurant for celiacs and other that don't want gluten in their food.

The restaurant is located in a cozy square, there is also a gluten-free pizza and pasta option, friendly service, delicious food. A negative is that the appetizer and dessert brought out without a request were charged for +6 Euro, they were delicious, but it would be better to ask for that.
A modern gem with a breathtaking view, serving artfully crafted dishes in a vibrant atmosphere—definitely a highlight of any Greek adventure!

Best gluten free pizza I have ever eaten. The tuna tartar was also so good. It's a beautiful restaurant with perfect service. Thank you, Jordan for a lovely day.

Stumbled across this restaurant while roaming old town. The menu posted outside was in english and greek and was clearly marked with many GF options. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about gluten allergies. The food was outstanding and the atmosphere very welcoming. They had homemade gluten free bread and provided a complimentary dessert (also GF). would definitely eat here again. (Edit...actually ate here 3 times in 3 days....)

Nice place with a bit more class than others along the street. I had shellfish soup which was perfectly OK. Norwegian service for those who like it. Very good selection of gluten-free dishes

We were here 3 times and that probably says something about the fact that we were relatively satisfied considering all the restaurants in the area. The place was recommended as we have a daughter with celiac disease and they delivered here with both gluten-free pizza and pasta. The staff are very pleasant and do everything to make you feel comfortable. Be prepared for it to take some time to get the food
Family-owned gem with a welcoming vibe, offering tasty dishes and a cozy atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed meal out.

The food was really very good. There are also many gluten-free options here, including food, gluten-free beer, and bread. The bread is baked by the owner's son. I particularly enjoyed the Stifado, and I ordered it again on my second visit. The owner and her staff are also excellent at their jobs and very friendly. A little further up town, the same owner runs a second restaurant, "Palatum," which also has many gluten-free options. We enjoyed our meals at both places and would gladly return.

Very nice restaurant with a clear menu for me who does not eat gluten. There were dishes that contained gluten but it was possible to get gluten-free. Super nice staff and very good food. We ate food from the traditional Greek kitchen/simmer. Stolen lamb and moussaka. Never had such tender and tasty lamb.
Nice toilets that had the ability to offer in times of need, such as Alovera, hair gel, body butter, body spray, etc.
Very cozy and nice interior.
5 out of 5 on everything!

Everything was perfect! We came to eat twice during our short stay in Malia. Special mention to Besie our waitress during these 2 days who was very kind, spoke French very well and listened to my allergies to milk and gluten. Besides, their cards have an incredible choice with top prices, and the big plus for me, all the allergens indicated are great!! Friends go there with your eyes closed!! The best restaurant!!
A clean, inviting spot in a hotel with a diverse menu of sizable portions and a cozy vibe that keeps people coming back for more.

The food is 10/10. Pasta dishes for hamburgers!!!
Gluten-free choices of several dishes are much appreciated. Great atmosphere and cozy. Extra plus is that they speak Scandinavian too 👍👍👍👍👍
