Merastri

Merastri is a Greek-Cretan restaurant located in an excellent location, just outside the city center of Heraklion, Crete, at Chrysostomou 17. If something characterizes Merastri, it is the stable quality over time and the Cretan flavors without compromises and discounts. Heraklion’s Merastri, certified by Concred and with Gourmet awards from 2006 to today, is one of the few places that honors the letter of tradition! With these principles and this philosophy, Merastri operates and offers delicious traditional dishes, with the wood-fired oven at the forefront of the kitchen and the handmade pasta cooked in zygouri broth and served with dry flower cheese. Sourdough bread, Anogia apaki, goat with ascolibrus, Cretan seglina, omelette with wild Cretan herbs, vegetable pies and sariko pies and the specialty… roast lamb with potatoes in the wood-fired oven, extra virgin Cretan olive oil, all the labels of the Cretan vineyard and all this in romantic decor of a beautiful neoclassical, like a warm home of yesteryear…
