We had dinner in Peskesi on 21st Oct and we enjoyed it a lot. Nice decoration, very good service and very good personnel. Everything we had was very delicious and portions were satisfactory. Hoping to go back to Crete again and to Peskesi od course.

Wonderful restaurant! Very friendly and competent staff! Farm to table is the main motto, and besides the obvious sympathy I have for this sustainable approach, the food is just really delicious. If you read this, go there, you will not regret it!

We had a weekend dinner here greeted by warm and inviting staff at this Cretan farm to table restaurant in Old Town Heraklion. They have a varied menu of dishes and wine list. We had glasses of Cretan wine, appetizers, bread, and a smoked pork...entree with vegetables. Staff treated us to a dessert and the best roki (after dinner drink) we had in Crete. While we enjoyed the food and ambience at Peskesi and were very much looking forward to our dinner there based on multiple recommendations, our experience was dampened by having local girls enter the restaurant to beg at our table (twice) before being sent away by staff and the service was less attentive as our dinner continued when a large party was seated. Perhaps the staffing that night was not up to their normal capacity and is not typical- we just caught it on an off night. If in Heraklion again, we would dine at Peskesi for another try. We're glad we tried it.More

After visiting Crete, Santorini and Athens, I don't believe there is a more beautiful or delicious restaurant in Greece! The restaurant seems to wind its way through a building and alley and is visually stunning. The staff was very knowledgable and attentive. They accommodated our...group of ten even while having other large groups and a restaurant full of smaller tables as well. The ability to make each diner feel special is a real talent. The food was the best we tasted on our trip - the chicken, lamb chops and fish were all favorites at the table. The wine list was extensive and the sommelier's recommendations paired beautifully with our food. The staff was so kind to bring us a special, local dessert and dessert wine with rose petals to try which we loved as well. We may have to return to Heraklion again just to eat at Peskesi one more time!More

Based on a recommendation from a friend, I went in for a late lunch as I was staying nearby. I love the farm to table to farm sustainability philosophy. The staff was very attentive and kind and explained in detail menu items. I started with...an Olive Oil tasting. I was not familiar with the variety on tastes etc but after my waiter explained I tried two extreme types, one sweet the other bitter and paid attention on the taste and flavor of the oils. It was spot on in the description and taste. Both varied and delicious. There are a lot of vegetarian dish options which normally I would go for but decide to try a Roast Pork Cretan dish that is normally served on Sundays. It was so tender, flavorful and delicious. I was pressed for time so did not get a chance to go back and try other dishes but I hope to be back in Heraklion and if so Peskesi will be my first stop as I totally enjoyed the experience and cuisine!More

The restaurant is very tasteful decorated. The atmosphere is great the food is delicious. I just didn’t think that on the night we were there that the service was all that it could have been. Would i give them a second chance? yes! No matter...where you go not everything is always going to be perfectMore

This restaurant is one of the best in Heraklion but not the only one you should try. There are other restaurants just as good. I was expecting it to be exceptionally good but it was not. Having said that I loved it and enjoyed the...food the staff was super friendly and nice the food was amazing. I just expected it to be out of this world because of all the reviews it had.More

The best restaurant in Heraklion! Truly local food with information on sustainability provided (but not forced upon you!) in a supplemental menu. There is an extensive wine and beverage selection including nonalcoholic herbal refreshers, an olive oil menu with options for food pairing or as...an accompaniment for bread, and a diverse menu of meat and vegetarian dishes. The staff was knowledgeable and fun, but all business when it came to providing service which was very attentive. Each meal came with several complimentary dishes including a beetroot and cheese accompaniment for the bread, a sweet semolina pudding, and after dinner drinks of rose and geranium infused raki. So good we had to return for one more dinner the night before leaving!More

Absolutely perfect! The flair was amazing. The employees life the Peskesi and the idea of authentic and sustainable cooking.

The meal was sooo good, the shrimp saganaki apetizer was delicious, and so was the pork with honey sauce. The service was flawless and the place was beautiful too. Can't ask for more!

This place more than lives up to the hype. My favorite restaurant in Greece. Delicious and creative. Especially loved the smoked eel. Traditional dishes but done with modern flair. Excellent service. I’m already plotting how we can return!!

Awesome location, food, service. It was really a nice experience. We wre a large group a had a menu, which was really good.
