Charoupi

Name: Charoupi
Price range: €€

Charoupi brings Cretan cooking into a polished Ladadika room of timber, dark metal and tightly spaced tables. Rabbit, lamb, liver, bitter greens and a long raki selection give the menu a specific island address rather than a generic Mediterranean label.

Our take

Crete lands in Ladadika

Plates come à la carte and portions support sharing; two mains, a salad, wine and a soft drink cost one recent couple €72. Book online for weekend lunch, ask staff to cap the number of starters and choose sauces carefully—some diners report dry meat or dishes buried under too much of them.

What visitors say

Tripadvisor rates Charoupi 4.5 from 764 reviews and gives it Travelers' Choice 2025; 2025–26 reports praise liver, rabbit and wine but flag sauce, dryness and price.

Restaurant

Clochard

Clochard has moved its decades-old operation into the former Roosevelt building, where upholstered chairs, crisp linen and a staffed bar signal a formal city restaurant. The kitchen takes Mediterranean ingredients through composed plating, aimed at business lunches and long dinners rather than a quick plate before the waterfront.

Restaurant

Deka Trapezia

Deka Trapezia keeps its promise in a compact room near the White Tower, where a few pavement seats extend the count in warm weather. Manolis Papoutsakis turns Greek meze into precise small plates—smoked mackerel, black lentils, dakos and sourdough—without stiffening the service.

Restaurant

Extravaganza

Extravaganza sits inside Stoa Ptolemeon, where mismatched furniture, wall graphics and an open bar keep the room closer to a workshop than a formal restaurant. The kitchen folds Greek ingredients into playful European plates for groups who want to share rather than order a starter-main sequence.
