Bitter greens cut through the holiday strip
Rakomelo serves Cretan cooking from a family-run room on Elounda's seafront, where generous plates outrank elaborate plating. Bitter greens, sardines, lamb chops and slow-cooked meat give the menu a regional centre even when gyros appears for familiar cover.
Ask for the day's cooked dishes before reading the full menu and split a starter plate; servings run large. More than a thousand ratings support the kitchen, but busy nights can stretch attention, so order drinks and cold plates together and request mains only after choosing among the pots.
What visitors say
Rakomelo records 4.8 from about 1,250 Google ratings alongside more than 1,500 Tripadvisor contributions; Cretan dishes, portions and repeat visits lead praise, with peak attention occasionally slipping.
