Restaurant Summary
On the Akti Miaouli waterfront, Little monkey feels warm and breezy from the first hello. Guests talk about a friendly host who remembers faces, quick smiles from servers, and coffee or lemonade with a view of the sea. One diner summed it up: "We came for the view and stayed for the hospitality." Cooking leans familiar and satisfying rather than flashy: eggs Benedict, club sandwiches, pancakes, and a Cretan breakfast, plus a long list of classic cocktails. Plates are fresh and generous, with gluten‑free bread and vegan options available; the bar keeps things playful with mojitos and an Espresso Martini. It fits travelers and locals who want an easygoing brunch by the water more than culinary theatrics. Families fare well here. Kids gravitate to pancakes and fries, while parents find accessible choices like omelets, club sandwiches, and smoothies. There is no dedicated kids menu noted, but portions are shareable and the menu stays firmly in kid‑friendly territory.
