Serate fatte per rallentare

Try it to believe it!

...let's start with the food... dishes that are refined and sophisticated compared to the classic offerings of Greek cuisine! The prawns and chicken rolls are highly recommended!! The restaurant is modern and well-kept! A vast selection of wines and a welcome dessert that was kindly offered to us!... kindness and a good memory to take home with us! Highly recommended Beba and Diego

I've been 2 times here, first time for a vegan moussaka with lentils and second time for a grilled oktopus. The quality of the dishes was very high everytime. The selection of the wines satisfies all the tastes. On some evenings there is live music. A very chic place and the waiters were very friendly and helpful with information.

Love this place

The most welcoming of places. You can describe your ideal wine and they will find it for you. As they do all wines by the glass you can try different ones. The food is very good too cretan with a modern take. The service is wonderful so friendly and efficient. I look forward to coming back next year.

We had a wonderful time. The food and the wine was just amazing and the ambiente is very cosy and romantic. The staff was so kind and very knowable about the wine. This used to be more of a wine bar but is now also a restaurant with small dishes to share. They event have great vegetarian options and the desert is amazing too. All around a hidden gem in Paleochora.

Kitchen one year in is doing its thing - brilliantly.

Stumbled in after an incredible massage with Nadia next door at Massage Philosophy. These guys have a bar that’s American style in shape - inviting for solo traveler’s or those who enjoy a high-top or being next to the action. It’s a small team making beautiful things happen here; at the bar and in the kitchen. Panos smiles from the eyes & has all the knowledge about wine. He persuaded me to take the food special - Frito Misto. It was excellent. I was served at the bar by lovely Feliza and George behind the bar kept me in perfect company. Well done team. One year in & you’re getting it right.

We came here everyday during our 4 day visit. The environment is charming and the wine is so tasty. Of course Crete wine would be as great as all of the food on this island. The service is great and the guys were knowledgeable about all of the winemakers. Highly recommend!

Lost the charm

Monika's Garden Wine Bar has become a Wine Restaurant. Food is now served and there is wine from areas other than Crete. It might be good for profitability, but the place has lost its charm and identity. The bar was visited every evening during all previous stays in Palaeochora. Now it was a visit and nothing more. Other guests might like the change, but it didn't suit us.
