Chrysostomos: Genuine traditional sfakian cuisine

Experience an authentic gastronomic journey into genuine Cretan cuisine at Chrysostomos Restaurant in Chania.

Savor traditional dishes cooked in a wood-fired oven, lovingly prepared with quality ingredients sourced from Sfakia. Alongside the friendly service and the decor filled with traditional tools and everyday objects from old Cretan life, you will feel the warmth and hospitality of a true Cretan home.

Dishes are made with extra virgin Cretan olive oil, and the lamb and goat are from Sfakia. Don’t miss the sourdough bread, baked in the wood-fired oven, perfect with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of coarse salt.

From the wood oven, you can enjoy lamb "ofto," slow-cooked ewe in parchment, lamb with potatoes, stuffed vegetables, boureki, or giant beans with syglina. Delicious stews like kid tsigariasto (with or without staka), mushrooms with wild greens (stamnagathi), lamb fricassée with stamnagathi, beef stifado, rooster in red sauce, and rabbit in wine are also served, along with dishes made to order.
