This small Keramikos spot, opened in 2017 by two friends who grew up on Crete, is one of my favourites (we’ve also covered it in our affordable eats itinerary). The menu isn’t enormous, but you’ll find amazing home-cooked traditional sharing plates all day and a lively atmosphere well into the night. (If you follow them on Facebook, you’ll get to see the daily specials before you go; these might include potato salad, skioufichta, fresh pasta with minced meat and xinomizithra cheese, and marathopita, a pie stuffed with Cretan greens and herbs.) It’s a great place to hit up in the evening for some small bites and raki (a liquor made from grape skins that’s wildly popular on Crete). The music is traditional Cretan and the snug space creates a homey feel.
