Peskessi est établie dans le manoir du Kapetan Polyxigkis, personnage ayant participé au soulèvement contre les Ottomans. La rénovation du bâtiment, en 2014, lui a valu sa place parmi les 10 meilleurs bars-restaurants d’Europe. Dans ses salles en pierre apparente, on peut déguster une cuisine authentique crétoise : il suffit de goûter la salade Peskesi, composée de produits bio provenant de la ferme du propriétaire, pour s’en rendre compte. Optez aussi pour le plat aux escargots habiba ou pour les sindrimades... La liste est longue, originale et impressionnante.

We didn’t have a reservation so we had to wait at the bar for 10 minutes. But that was something we really enjoyed! Maria, the barkeeper started us of with great local drinks. The best waiter in the world, Vasilis, came to get us and showed us a nice table in the back, in a corner of the restaurant.
Now to the food: simply wow! Their whole motto is farm to table and you can taste it in every bite. The menu shows how far the food has travelled across the island. Yes, everything is local Crete food. They can tell you the farm of every dish and even have a olive oil sommelier that can show and explain the different oils.
The first time we went, we ordered the lamb - which was the best lamb I’ve ever had - the salad with figs, almonds, apple, and walnuts and the pan fried cheese. Everything super tasty. It’s not your typical Greek restaurant where you order some Gyros and Tzatziki- it’s way better!
It was so good, we went back on the second day. Both days, we had lots of amazing food and great local liquor, Raki and Ouzo. The alcohol is also home made on a local farm and even though I barely drink, I didn’t have a headache the next morning!
We‘ll definitely be back! I can’t recommend this place enough!
