Lotus Eaters: Dishes with local ingredients overlooking the bay of Elounda

top rated

ABOUT

The Lotus Eaters restaurant in picturesque Elounda offers a delightful gastronomic experience with a stunning view of the sea. Situated right by the water, it serves Greek flavors with a special focus on fish and seafood.

The couple’s philosophy centers on crafting dishes with local ingredients, collaborating closely with local producers, friends, and neighbors. They source their meat from the village butcher, who in turn obtains it from local farms. The fish comes from a nearby supplier, as freshness is the key to flavor. And naturally, their potatoes are from the fertile Lasithi Plateau.

Try the grilled sea bream with lemon-olive oil dressing, or savor the exquisite shrimp and calamari.

The ambiance is peaceful, with soft, high-quality music, and the owners pay meticulous attention to cleanliness down to the smallest detail.

Make sure to reserve a table before you visit, and enjoy your meal with a wine selection from their carefully curated list.

Elounda isn’t just a tourist destination; it’s a fishing village where the past meets the present. Take a stroll around the harbor to watch the fishermen mending their nets or head to the beach for a swim.
