I felt like in intersection. And above all the service is in a fast forward motion. The food doesn’t have anything special. So, if you’re in a hurry definitely you’re in the right place. This kind of restaurant is not using a charcoal grill so because of that the lamb chops were too greasy, not dry, but oily. The appetiser dish smoked pork fillets were good/ fair, the zucchini balls were enjoyable. The desert Xerotigano, so oily that I couldn’t even eat it. The desert Pavlova, nothing special about it, no kitchen work, just simple mixing: ice-cream, strawberries and pieces of meringue. This is a great place to watch the sunset and enjoy delicious food. Parking is available. The portions are large, and the prices are above average. Everything was delicious and enjoyable, and it was worth the price. Don't forget to make a reservation. What a place! Absolutely impressive — the view, the staff, the atmosphere, the decor… and most of all, the food! Traditional Cretan dishes full of flavour and amazing quality. The view, especially around sunset, is breathtaking. I wish I had the chance to go back, but unfortunately didn’t. If I ever return to Crete, this will definitely be one of my first stops. I highly recommend calling ahead and making a reservation. We were lucky to get an outdoor table with a partial sunset view, but not everyone was that lucky. Also, if you book — make sure you arrive on time. It’s a popular spot and they need to keep the tables moving. Delight from the very first moment to the last! We visited this restaurant, and the experience exceeded all our expectations! The atmosphere is incredibly cozy, with attention paid to every detail. The staff is polite, welcoming, and truly cares about the guests, making you feel like a long-awaited friend rather than just a visitor. As for the cuisine — it’s a true gastronomic celebration! Every dish is flawlessly prepared following Cretan tradition. The flavors are vibrant, balanced, and unforgettable. We left with a feeling of happiness and are already looking forward to coming back. If you’re searching for a place where food, atmosphere, and service come together in perfect harmony — this is the one! What a unique place to eat! It has a cave inside towards the back of the restaurant where you can take photos! There’s also the view of the ocean of course! Food was amazing especially the lamb. Great service! Arrive early as it gets really busy. I was privileged enough to eat my way through Taverna Spilios menu during my 3 nights stay in Kavousi. After traveling 2 weeks around Western Crete, I can confidently say this is the best Taverna I was fortunate enough to experience. The hospitality is like non other; I felt like family by the 3rd night. The owners consistently stop by the table to ensure everything is satisfactory, and the staff is beyond kind. I highly recommend the rabbit stifado and the mousaka (best I had in Crete). Also recommend booking a seaside table to experience the epic sunsets. Thank you kindly for your hospitality, and I hope to visit again. Yammas! Amazing lunch! Super fresh and tasty food, very friendly and gentle staff. They offered us antipasto, dessert and ouzo — all on the house! Everything was delicious. We felt really welcomed. 5 stars, I’ll recommend it Food tasted great, and an amazing view. Unfortunately, our whole party got food poisoning from there :( It could have been either the beef (Special), or the eggs in the Ekmek (desert) as we all shared those. And we haven't eaten anywhere else that day. Probably just bad luck.. Owners, please be careful so this doesn't happen again.
