"The restaurant has a great location on a little open space, right across the church. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
It was quiet when I got there, which was nice.
I had an omelette as lunch, which was well prepared. Everything was good and delicious. Would recommend."
Kyle Heijdendael
"O Psaras was the perfect place to enjoy a hearty, delicious, authentic Cretan lunch during our afternoon in Rethymno. It is family-owned and they offer impeccable service and quality food. The Cretan salad & tzatziki with fresh bread started us off as we enjoyed some dry white wine from Heraklion. Main courses included the gyro and moussaka, which were plentiful and full of delicious flavors. The owner and his team were wonderful!"

Portion are small very expensive, you don't have chance to go to toilet, octopus stew is just onion ball..."
