Grillo's Stable
About
Grillo's Stable, on Crete, sits in Xrania near Georgioupoli, on the north-west edge of the island, with Chania and Rethymno both within easy reach by road. First-time visitors should expect a straightforward eating place rather than anything polished for tourists, so arriving without a booking in high summer is a gamble. A 4.9 out of 5 average from 184 reviews places it among the most consistently praised tables on the island. Reaching it from the main resorts is simplest by car, since Crete has an airport and a road network that links the coastal towns. The taverna's setting at Xrania keeps it away from the busiest strips, which suits anyone basing themselves in Chania or Rethymno and touring west. Orthodox Easter and the summer panigyria fill village squares with processions and band music, and a meal here can be timed around those celebrations. Island bakeries turn out spanakopita and tyropita, and vineyards on Crete produce local wines worth ordering alongside dinner. Heraklion, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra and Sitia lie further east along the coast if you are working your way around the island.
