Souroupo

Excellent rooftop location overlooking the mountains and the sea. They do have people at the entrance down on the street trying to convince people to come on, which usually means I won't be a guest, but today I made an exception. The waiter handling the rooftop tables were fast and helpful, and it felt as if he really wanted everyone to have a good time. We ordered a stuffed burger, kids carbonara and pork with feta (on the recommendation of the waiter). Unfortunately the bread and meat of the burger came in with a bit of a burnt taste to it, but the meat itself was still not overcooked. The kids carbonara was approved (and plate emptied). My pork with feta cheese was a good recommendation, and the meat was really tender (even though it might not have been the best cuts). Well worth a visit away from the busy main road.

Great food and exceptional service. My wife and I came twice during our trip because the food was so good we were craving seconds. Lots of local options for those who want to experience cretian cuisine, but also many different other options for those who are looking for comfort food (pizza is phenomenal). George (waiter) was excellent in every aspect, he never approached our table when we were in conversation, but was very quick to arrive when he saw me look for him. There was one mistake in our order the first night but it was very quickly rectified without any hassle (he noticed before we did). Overall I would recommend Souroupo to anyone staying in or visiting Platanias. We are looking forward to returning. We enjoyed: Dakos - like bruschetta on a large crouton. Margherita pizza. Giouvetsi - orzo pasta with beef in tomato sauce. Zucchini croquettes.

Excellent food, starters garlic bread, tsatsiki, pizza special and main dish carbonara and Gordon bleu. Only downside was that cards were not accepted due having no POS at the moment (card machine) although they listed other options like coming back on the next day or to pay next door to another restaurant. Same "technical issue" was 9months earlier on another review. Told them that they could've mentioned it before ordering. This flaw wasn't worth downgrading by a star because food, place & service was magnificent.

We attended this amazing restaurant this evening and was treated like royalty from start to finish. The owner and staff were brilliant, friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The 2 lovely waitresses Stella and Dimi went above and beyond for us. The food was amazing, cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back before the end of our holiday in Crete. 100% recommend.
