Top service, great food and top views. Wiskey sour and all cocktails are breathtakingly delicious. The service is up and top casual and refined. Delicious food, have already gone there several times aperitifs and food, to enjoy the view. You feel right at home here and warmly received. The best place in the village!!! Recommended and I will definitely be back
This is a clean and beautifully presented restaurant with a wonderful setting and an inviting, calming atmosphere. The service was very friendly, and the delicious food arrived beautifully presented. We loved it so much that we ate here twice, even though we were only in Plaka for four days! Most of the tables offer lovely sea views, although some do look out onto a car park. It is definitely best to book ahead to ensure you get the stunning views of Spinalonga! We highly recommend this restaurant.
Had an excellent meal here during our recent stay in Plaka. Food was extremely well cooked and nicely presented, also very tasty. Owner helped to suggest a lovely Cretan wine to accompany our meal. Would definitely return if we visit Plaka again.
We have been on the island for almost two weeks, and without a doubt Porta Restaurant was one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Everyone was incredibly friendly, kind, and attentive throughout the evening. The food was simply outstanding. We had the sea bass fillet, the Porta salad, and the fried zucchini, and every dish was exceptional. The sea bass was perfectly cooked, the salad was fresh and delicious, and the fried zucchini was absolutely incredible. A special thank you to Linda and Anna in the kitchen. Their talent, care, and attention to detail were evident in every dish we enjoyed. After dining all over the island, we can honestly say this was one of the best meals we had during our stay. The quality of the food, the warm hospitality, and the wonderful atmosphere made for a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended to anyone visiting the island. We will definitely return on our next trip. Thank you to the entire Porta team for an unforgettable dining experience!
Delicious dishes in an idyllic place with a view of Spinalonga.
Great welcome, with very good advice regarding the dishes to choose. Sufficient quantity and especially very, very good. I recommend it to you
Upon returning from the island of Spinalonga, we went there for lunch. It all started with a pleasant welcome. We enjoyed a table with a magnificent view of the island of Spinalonga. Very good cocktail and well-balanced. Seafood cooked to perfection and flavors that meet expectations. Beautiful menus for food and wine. What more can be said? Do not hesitate, you will not be disappointed by the welcome, the setting, and the meal... Thank you to the team for this wonderful moment.
Perfect spot for dinner! Owner was wonderful and took time to speak with us. We had the Cretan pasta and the seafood pasta, and both were divine!
Top address, superview, very friendly, good food and correct price quality! Highly recommended
It is a unique restaurant, next to the port of Plaka, with excellent decoration, and a spectacular view of the island of Spinalonga. You can park in its private parking lot, and enjoy lunch or dinner, or even a coffee with a delicious dessert. The menu includes appetizers, Greek cuisine, meat, fish and seafood, cooked to perfection and served by very friendly staff. We visited it one afternoon for coffee and dessert, and the next day for lunch. We were completely satisfied and we recommend it unreservedly to anyone visiting Plaka.
