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.

Very knowledgeable staff regarding food restrictions, a lot of gluten free options (clearly marked on the menu), excellent food quality, loved it so much that I went twice during my trip

Thomas Bjur

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

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Taverna Harakas – A Culinary Gem in Crete Simply wow! Taverna Harakas is a true highlight in Crete – a place where you immediately feel welcome. The atmosphere is informal, warm, and incredibly cozy. You can sit outside under the vines or inside in the lovingly decorated dining room – it's simply a place to feel at home. The food is exceptionally good! Everything is freshly prepared with high-quality ingredients and lots of love. From grilled fish to tender lamb to vegetarian specialties – every dish was a delight. What's particularly impressive is that they cater very carefully to any food intolerances. Even if you have celiac disease, you can eat here without worry – the staff is very knowledgeable and caters to individual requests. A huge plus! The service is fast, attentive, and yet incredibly warm. You can tell that the entire team is passionate about what they do. There's a wonderful, family-like atmosphere – you feel more like you're with friends than in a restaurant. In short: If you're looking for authentic Cretan cuisine, genuine hospitality, and an all-around harmonious experience, this is the place for you. Highly recommended – we'll definitely be back!

Had the best deep fried zucchini and dolmades (stuffed wine leaves) for lunch. Came back for dinner another day and it was really good. Gf options are marked and the staff is knowledgeable

JACQUELINE CALLAGHAN

The gluten free options are the best by far in this area. I felt as a having an allergy I was limited to grilled meats from certain places or they weren’t really helpful at all. Until I come across la strada. They have focaccia bread, pastas and pizzas gluten free. The staff where so helpful and I felt took my allergy serious I would highly recommend to anyone in the area that struggles to be catered for they have so many options.

Emma Schürmann

Nice outdoor area. Various glutenfree options and friendly staff :) also vegetarian and vegan options so everyone can find something to eat! Prices are okay, too.

Great place, cute dogs, good and fast service and amazing food. They have a lot of options for vegans and gluten free options.

Sybelle

We had a lovely dinner. The service and the food was absolutely great! Our daughter has celiac disease, but this was no problem as she enjoyed a glutenfree pasta carbonara. Really enjoyed it and will come back for more. Thanks Zepos team!

Amazing food, great staff. Nice wine selection. A lot of gluten free options available on the menu. A must stop if you visit Chania

100% recommended! Great views of the sea. The gluten-free pizza was delicious, as was the thoughtful touch of the house dessert. Danai served us; she was very friendly and attentive at all times.

Theresa Nirschl

Very friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere. Also suitable for gluten-free eaters; they offer GF pizza and pasta, and other gluten-free options are clearly marked on the menu. I had a GF pizza, and the crust was nice and crispy. Very pleasant and cool under the trees. To finish, we had a free raki and ice cream. Definitely recommended 👍🏼

Maura Sweet

The best dining experience we have had on our trip round Europe. Excellent food, Lots of gluten free options. Lovely setting and wonderful, engaging hosts. We will be back.

Elliot Boyd

Great food, great service + GF / coeliac friendly. Highly recommend.

Mr S

Food here was amazing,ingredients and staff super friendly, Hannah was amazing and even recommended local places to visit. I have allergies and I ate here without issue. Celiac disease, dairy allergy, nut and peanut allergy and onion severe intolerance verging on allergy. They made a tomato sauce for me fresh and off menu so I could eat here. The chips/ fries are cooked in a seperate fryer making them safe also. This place is a reasonabley priced establishment and it's worth it. Two pasta dishes Two chips/ fries 1 dolmades 1 bread and salsa with oil Total 63.70€ 2 vodka 2 bottle coca cola 1 diet coke/ cola light

Liam Rosenquist

We’ve eaten here many times during our trip to Crete, and it’s always been a great experience. The food is delicious and fairly priced. The staff are friendly and make you feel welcome. The owner is especially kind and creates a relaxed, genuine atmosphere. Highly recommend if you’re looking for good and local food. They have great gyros wraps as well as gluten free options. - gluten free guy

Marta F. V.

Very nice restaurant with amazing views, amazing waiters and amazing gluten-free options!

Sheila Leite

I found this cafe with lots of gluten-free options, I had a toast with avocado and orange juice and it felt good. There are several other types of breakfast with gluten-free options.

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!!

Carol Johnson

Thorsten Domann

There are some gluten-free options marked on the menu, and pizza and pasta can also be ordered gluten-free, although I didn't try them. For me with celiac disease, I was able to eat well at this place.

Chris Berg

Really good food and loads of gluten free options. Friendly staff and pleasant location.

Weronika Gajewska

One of the few places in the port of Chania that offers gluten-free dishes and beer. A very nice gentleman who drives the customers, who does not forget about them once he convinces them to choose this place. Food for 4, because gluten-free can be better, but it is not bad. If we ever come back to Chania, we will definitely find it here.

This has to be the best dining experience in Koutouloufari! So much so we went four times in our two weeks. The ambience is just perfect with the food exquisite, both in taste and presentation, coupled with the most prompt professional service makes for fabulous memory box moments. A big bonus for some diners is they cater for Gluten Free diners with very extensive options. All the staff are just wonderful but I have to make a special mention about Dana who I would have working for me any day! As It is a very popular restaurant booking is the best option to guarantee a table during the busy months. Thank you to everyone for helping make such wonderful memories.

Emma Maciaszek

Menu was different than online so I was a bit disappointed. Opted for a chicken and vege dish which was delicious! Menu is marked gluten free but not many options. Complimentary dessert afterwards!

Carlos Steele

Anna Mullaney

We really loved it here - beautiful sunset views, friendly wait staff, lovely food. I am gluten intolerant and felt quite safe here with the sea bass as my delicious main! Would recommend!

Malcolm

We had dinner there, the atmosphere is really great and away from the noisy streets The food was ok but nothing special to justify the prices (almost the same as France) They have a large selection of gluten free or lactose free options which is nice However we were surprised that the prices on the bill aren't the same as the ones on the menu... Check it carefully Service was great al along

Incredible restaurant so much of the menu is gluten free and they even have gluten free orzo! My husband is coeliac and we have been twice now with no cross contamination and they even remembered him and instantly made sure his order was gluten free!
