Charming, tiny Cretan spot with heartfelt hospitality and standout meze; book ahead and expect a leisurely pace with occasional service delays.
To Parastratima delivers exceptional food quality with memorable Cretan lamb, chicken, and fresh salads that justify its strong reputation. Knowledgeable service and genuine owner warmth create an intimate, welcoming experience in a charming Old Town alley setting. However, inconsistent execution and notably slow pacing on busy nights prevent a higher grade—diners should expect leisurely service and book ahead for limited seating.
One caveat: Service can be very slow at peak times with delays for menus and courses
