Umami
About
On Crete, Umami sits at Epar.Od. Kalivon-Kefalas 14, Almirida 730 08, Greece, in a coastal village on the island's north-western side. The kitchen has built its name on cooking that stands apart from the usual island fare. That approach draws diners who want something beyond the standard menu.
A first visit brings a menu built around the kitchen's own style rather than the familiar round of grilled meats and salads. The kitchen's reputation rests on the quality and consistency of what it sends out. A total of 154 diners have scored the kitchen, and those marks average 4.6 out of 5. That record gives newcomers a clear sense of what to expect before they book.
Umami keeps its doors open through the day and into the evening, so both lunch and dinner are covered. Photographs of the dining room and dishes are available for anyone planning a table.
Reaching Almirida is straightforward from Chania, which lies along the same stretch of coast. Crete's Mediterranean climate delivers hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters, so the busiest months fall between late spring and early autumn. Orthodox Easter is the island's biggest festival, and village panigyria fill the summer calendar. Winter rain and rough seas close many hotels and tavernas between November and March, so a visit outside that window is easier to arrange.
