Restaurant history


Welcome to our restaurant.

You are in a historic building from 1923 in the heart of the wineries of Crete, in the village of Dafnes. It belongs to the Giakoumakis family.
During World War II it was occupied by German forces and used as an arsenal. In 2006 it was first opened as a restaurant to the public, by the mother of the family Maria and in November 2024 it was passed on to the younger members of the family to continue their legacy. Here we make everything by hand, from the ingredients to the dish. From the bread to the pasta, everything is cooked like in the good old days.
Thank you for visiting us.

Arodamos


The name "Arodamos" in the Cretan dialect means "tender sprout" or "new branch", like the fresh foliage that sprouts in spring, symbolizing rebirth and a new beginning.

Dafnes Village


The village of Dafnes is a very old village, perhaps from the 11th century. It is located 18 kilometers south of Heraklion and has an altitude of 320 meters. It is one of the main villages of the prefecture of Heraklion with a population of approximately 1,500 residents. The name of the village is a phytonym from the laurel plant. According to tradition, a laurel tree had grown near the temple of Agia Zoni and it took its name from it. The main occupation of the Dafnians is agriculture. In Dafnes, 3,500 acres of sultanas and 1,000 acres of vines are currently cultivated, producing 2,000 tons of wine annually. 70 traditional rakokazanas also operate in the village. The excellent soil conditions of the area have earned Dafnes one of the four Protected Designations of Origin (PDO) in Crete. The wine from the “Liatiko” grape variety, which is vinified in a predetermined way, is labeled “DAFNES, Protected Designation of Origin (PDO)”.

Our Wood-Fired Oven


Our oven is more than just a tool — it’s a piece of history. Built 40 years ago, it was custom-built as a faithful replica of the ovens used during the ancient Minoan civilization. Its design is truly unique in Greece, not only for its age and construction, but also for its rare two-story structure.
On the ground floor, wood is burned to create strong, direct heat. This makes it ideal for cooking dishes such as lamb or goat, which need an open fire to achieve their rich, traditional flavor.
The upper deck is connected by a small opening that allows heat and smoke to gently rise. This makes it ideal for slow-cooking beef, smoking ingredients, or even dehydrating foods, giving them the deep, layered flavors that only this type of oven can provide.

Cream cheese


Manouri is a traditional Greek soft whey cheese, recognized as a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) product. It is produced mainly in Thessaly and Macedonia from sheep or goat whey, to which fresh milk and/or cream is added, giving it its characteristic rich, creamy texture.

Xinochontros


Xinochondros is a traditional Cretan food, a type of soured trahana, made from fermented sheep's or goat's milk and coarsely ground wheat. After being cooked until thick, it is spread into small pieces and dried in the sun for long-term storage, a process that gives it a distinctive spicy flavor and rich texture. It is a versatile ingredient, commonly used in soups, stews and other dishes, providing both protein and unrefined carbohydrates.

Gravy sauce


Gravy is a classic, thick roast sauce, traditionally made from the caramelized juices and fats left in the pan after roasting meat. It is an ideal accompaniment to roast meats, turkey, mashed potatoes or rice.

Apaki


Cretan apaki is a traditional Cretan smoked pork delicacy made from lean pork that is marinated in vinegar and herbs like thyme, oregano, and sage, then smoked using aromatic wood and herbs. It has a deep, fragrant flavor and is a versatile ingredient, enjoyed plain as a meze with raki or cooked in dishes like stir-fries, omelets, or with pulse dishes.

Pastourma


Pastourma is an air-dried, spiced, cured beef, a traditional delicacy popular in the Eastern Mediterranean and Balkan regions, particularly in Armenian, Greek, and Cypriot cuisines. The beef is salted, pressed, and covered in a thick, aromatic paste made primarily from fenugreek (chemen), garlic, and various spices like cumin and paprika, before being air-dried for weeks to months to achieve its distinctive flavor and texture. It is versatile, eaten as a savory appetizer with ouzo or rakı, or cooked with eggs, in sandwiches, or as an ingredient in dishes like pastourmadopita (a pie).

Black Angus Carpaccio


Black Angus carpaccio is a sophisticated dish consisting of very thin, raw slices of premium beef from the Black Angus cattle breed.

Galomizithra


Galomizithra is a soft, fresh, and creamy Cretan cheese traditionally made in homes from goat or sheep milk that curdles naturally, giving it a mild, delicate flavor with a hint of acidity or sweetness. It has a yogurt-like texture and is a versatile "passepartout" cheese used raw with bread and olive oil, in Cretan dakos salad, various pies, and other dishes.

Anthotyros


The Anthotyros is a traditional Greek cheese made from whey, with the addition of goat, sheep or cow's milk. It comes in two forms: fresh, soft, with a mild taste and low salt content, and dry, matured, harder, with a more intense, salty and buttery taste. Fresh anthotyros is eaten with honey or jam, while the dry one is suitable for salads, pasta or grated on food, replacing parmesan.

Tyrozouli


Tyrozouli is a Greek cheese produced in the mountains of western Crete. It is made from sheep’s or goat’s milk which is curdled with fig sap. The cheese is typically consumed fresh, when its texture is very soft, but it can also be matured in olive oil, when its texture becomes hard.

Graviera


Graviera is a popular Greek hard, yellow table cheese, similar to Swiss Gruyère, that is produced in various regions of Greece and is Greece's second most popular cheese after feta. It is known for its rich, sweet, buttery, and nutty flavor, and is made from sheep's milk, goat's milk, or a combination of both. Common uses include eating it as is, in pies, on toasts, or fried as saganaki.

Xynomyzithra


Xynomizithra or xynomizithra is a Greek cheese made from whey with the addition of milk; it is a sour variant of mizithra and is made from sheep's and/or goat's milk. The proportion of whole milk is about 15%. It is produced mainly in Crete, but also in other regions of Greece.

Politiko Sujuk


Sujuk, also known as Soutzouki Politiko in Greek, is a spicy, dry sausage traditionally made from ground meat (often beef or buffalo), mixed with garlic, cumin, salt, and red pepper. It’s popular across the Balkans, Middle East, and Central Asia, with regional variations in preparation and taste. The “Politiko” part refers to Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul)—so “Soutzouki Politiko” means “sausage in the style of Constantinople.” It’s a nod to the culinary traditions of Greek populations from that region.

Vlita


Vlita is the Greek name for a variety of amaranth plant, specifically Amaranthus viridis. It’s part of the Amaranthaceae family and is often referred to in English as green amaranth or slender amaranth. Vlita is classified as "horta", a term Greeks use for edible greens. It’s typically: Boiled or steamed, then dressed with olive oil and lemon
Served as a main dish or side, often with feta or grilled fish
Used in pies, omelets, or even salads when young and tender
Its flavor is mild and slightly sweet, much gentler than bitter greens like dandelion. That makes it a favorite for those who want a softer taste without sacrificing nutrition.

Radishes


Radishes are green herbaceous and edible plants, known to man almost since the existence of life on the planet. There are records in a papyrus of 4000 BC by the botanist Ebers, and later by Greek physician-botanists such as Dioscorides, Pliny and Galen.
Green chicory, with the scientific name Cichorium Intibus, Taraxacum afficinalis, has many different names throughout the country and you will surely have heard them called dandelion, dandelion or picroradika.

Split peas


Fava beans are a traditional Greek dish made mainly from the legume lathouri and served as a velvety porridge, often with onion, oil and lemon.

The most famous saganaki is cheese saganaki, where pieces of hard cheese (such as gruyere, kefalotyri, feta, formaela or halloumi) are fried until they acquire a crispy golden crust and a soft, melted texture on the inside.
It is often served with fresh lemon and is an ideal accompaniment to ouzo or other alcoholic beverages as an appetizer.

Beef short ribs


Beef short ribs are a cut of beef from the side of the rib, known for their rich, fatty texture and intense flavor. They can be cooked in a variety of ways, such as braised, grilled, stewed, or smoked, and the slow cooking process makes them extremely tender and fall off the bone.

Sous Vide


Sous Vide (pronounced "sue-veed", French for "under vacuum") is a cooking method where food is vacuum-sealed in a bag and cooked in a water bath at a precisely controlled temperature for a longer period of time than usual. This technique, long used by professional chefs, ensures that the food will cook perfectly, evenly and retain its moisture and flavor.
