Lunch comes straight from the trays
Kouzina EPE runs as a daytime cooperative on 1821 Square, with indoor tables, chairs under the trees and cooked dishes lined up for inspection. The kitchen focuses on Cretan home food—pulses, stuffed vegetables, braises and fish—rather than an all-day tourist card.
Walk to the counter first and ask what came out of the oven most recently; half portions make it possible to try several dishes. Arrive for lunch because service ends before the late dinner crowd, and do not rely on every dish lasting through the afternoon; current local advice says reservations usually prove unnecessary.
