| Othonas (Rethymno)
 Description
In the same location where, in the early 1930’ s used to be “Damanos” tavern (who would weight his clients upon entering and again when leaving the tavern and charge them according to their weight difference), in the old town of Rethymno, stands today “Othonas” Tavern.
The tavern “Othonas” presents the authentic Cretan cuisine (based on tradition recipes), as well as creatively produced dishes, as well as fresh fish and grilled meat. All dishes are cared for personally by Othonas. Othonas’ specialties (lamb with artichokes, “stamna” –meat stew-, artichokes with broad beans, salad of vegetable-garden greens- with garden rocket and cream cheese-, pork tenderloin with honey and walnuts, chicken with strawberries, chicken “Dias” –raki, feta cheese, mustard, onions- and, of course, thinly-sliced potatoes fried in olive oil) can be enjoyed within a warm atmosphere and a traditional Cretan interior design, where one can find rare paintings of old Rethymno. We also will a sufficient variety of “mezedakia” to accompany wine and raki. “Othonas” wine list includes a variety of good bottled and cask wines, as well as wines of biological cultivation. |  |
