Harbour cooking with a vineyard behind it
Salis faces the eastern basin of Chania's old harbour from a long glass-fronted room and a line of waterside tables. The owners connect Cretan produce, Manousakis winery bottles and Mediterranean techniques, drawing a dinner crowd that wants more range than the harbour tavernas provide.
The menu moves through meze, pasta, fish and meat rather than a fixed tasting sequence, and the wine list deserves its own discussion. Reserve the waterfront row explicitly, ask the sommelier to set a bottle ceiling and order in two rounds; recent reviews remain strong but some diners report rushed service or dishes that miss at peak times.
What visitors say
Tripadvisor gives Salis Travelers' Choice and carries extensive current feedback; most reviews praise the menu and wine service, with isolated 2026 complaints about execution and pacing.
