Kritamon wine bar/restaurant, Chania

Kritamon restaurant is located in Chania’s old town. It took its name from a plant that grows in the sand and is used in salads. It is a wine bar/ restaurant with an adjacent organic store, with clean and minimal design. To be honest, I loved the restaurant’s design as we passed by. Therefore I decided to check out their menu as well. We already had lunch that day, so we made a mental note and decided to return the next one.

And that’s what we did! On our last day in Chania, after walking one last time around the city, we made our way to Kritamon restaurant and sat on a table in the back porch. As you can see from my photos the place is very chill and serene.

We started off our lunch with a green salad with octopus and gruel followed by small pies with phyllo dough filled with avocado and accompanied by tomato marmalade. These where delicious and would like to try and recreate them at home (but I’m sure I won’t be that successful)! For main course my husband got a risotto with mushrooms and I got salmon with almond crust accompanied by grated carrot and zucchini.

Needless to say we were full, but content! My husband proclaimed that it was the best risotto he ate in a long time. As a treat, the restaurant offered sweet white wine and a small pot of yogurt with caramel.
