  • 1. Dodoni

    $

    Airy blue-on-blue sofas and chairs look over the lake here, with a menu dreamt up by sweet-lovers. Waffles, pancakes, and toasts are offered but it is really all about the ice cream---up to 45 flavors are offered.

    Konsatantinou Palaiologou 14, Agios Nikolaos, Crete, 72100, Greece
    28410-25801

    Known For

    • Lactose-free, sugar-free, and low-fat ice cream available
    • Lakeside location perfect for an afternoon treat
    • Family feel and welcome
  • 2. Karnagio

    $

    Right on Lake Voulismeni, Karnagio is a riot of multi-colored tables, shouted orders, and running waiters. Proudly Cretan and proud of their local products, the grill is the center of attention here with a wide selection of meat and fish. Salads and a meze selection top up the offerings and the outdoor square is a fun, lively place to spend a couple of hours.

    Konstantin Paleologou 24, Agios Nikolaos, Crete, 72100, Greece
    28410-25968

    Known For

    • The best service in town
    • Portions fit for a king
    • Always busy but waiting customers are offered wine
  • 3. Migomis

    $$

    Clinging to the cliff above the lake, this restaurant offers some of the best views in town. Food is on a par, too: Mediterranean-inspired dishes accompany Greek classics, and the steaks are rightly famous. It's set in a building from the 1890s, and a piano player complements the atmosphere with a repertoire of classics. It's more expensive than some, but the appealing dining room and quality of food compensates. A more informal café next door, under the same ownership, is a great place to unwind.

    Nikou Plastira 20, Agios Nikolaos, Crete, 72100, Greece
    28410-24353

    Known For

    • Dramatic and very romantic cliff-top setting
    • Well presented dishes with an Italian flavor
    • Good international wine list

  • 4. Pelagos

    $$

    An enchanting courtyard garden and the high-ceilinged parlors of an elegant neoclassical mansion are the setting for what many consider to be the best fish tavern in Ayios Nikolaos. Simple is the keyword here: fresh catches from the fleet bobbing in the harbor just beyond are plainly grilled and accompanied by local vegetables and Cretan wines. Salads are a winner, often with unusual combinations, and the pasta is well presented, too, but really you are here for the daily seafood specials, handsomely displayed on ice in an old wooden boat at the front of house.

    Stratigou Koraka 11, Agios Nikolaos, Crete, 72100, Greece
    28410-82019

    Known For

    • Simply prepared dishes in a lovely setting
    • Friendly service from English-speaking staff
    • Being busy, be prepared to wait in summer

  • 5. Taverna Stavrakakis

    $

    Enhance the short trip out to Kritsa and Lato with a stop in the nearby village of Exo Lakonia to enjoy a meal at the homey kafenion of Manolis and Katerina Stavrakakis. Dishes are based on family recipes, and most are made from ingredients the couple grow themselves. Dolmades are made with zucchini flowers instead of vine leaves, wild mountain greens appear in salads dressed with local olive oil, pumpkin is served stifado style, and the local wine and raki are good. It's all served with charm under the shade of a magnificent bougainvillea or by a roaring fire on nippy winter nights.

    Exo Lakonia, Crete, 72100, Greece
    28410-22478

    Known For

    • Authentic Cretan cooking, not tourist taverna fare
    • Great homemade pies
    • The friendliest welcome
