The top reason I wanted to visit Crete, the biggest island of Greece, was to experience the food. Cretan food is known for its incredible Mediterranean based food diet. Even though it’s an island surrounded by the sea, Crete is such a huge island that it’s actually more well known for lamb and meat rather than seafood.
One day while my wife and I were in Chania, Crete, we drove over to a countryside restaurant in the mountains called Ντουνιάς (I’m not sure of the English name). Immediately as we arrived, and met the incredibly passionate owner, and watched him cooking traditional Crete food in clay pots over fire, I knew it was going to be an incredible food experience.
Before eating, I took a quick walk around the farm, to see all the produce and animals they had on their property. The owner was quick to mention to met that it wasn’t just a restaurant, but a farm. Everything he cooked was from his farm on his land - the meat, the vegetables, the fruit, the seasonings, even the wine. Everything was local and seasonal.
After walking around, I just asked the owner to serve me a few of his favorite dishes of the day. We enjoyed some incredible house wine, bread, and then mountain goat. Everything was purely delicious, seasoned with wine and rosemary, and full of natural Mediterranean heb flavors. We were also served a few more Cretan dishes, all of which were stunningly good.
My only complaint was that we didn’t plan to stay long enough. We had to eat, and then head back to Chania town because I had something else planned that day as well. It’s the type of restaurant you could go and hang out for the entire day.
Ντουνιάς - An amazing authentic Crete food restaurant where everything is cooked in the traditional way by pure love.
Total price - 34.90 EUR for everything

What is the nome of triste place and in wich place?
I think those peaches were just very under ripe haha
Where is this in crete?
The only thing that wasn't authentic about the experience was the fact you left sober 😂
Top tip, you want to try tavernas that get their things from the farms. Those guys get to pick the best source for their ingredients because each farm can't be perfect at everything. Eg. the tomatoes looked a bit too home-grown as they should be red af inside, the best olive oil comes from lower altitudes because they need heat to ripen and cool, not cold, winters to get ready to produce fruit. But always inland mountain villages have the best food because people wouldn't make the journey if the food wasn't the bomb.
I am from Crete, from a village in central Crete called Kroussonas (Krousson)
As a massive fan of your channel we had to visit this restaurant. It was complete chaos and the worst hospitality in Crete. Avoid!
@markwiens we traveled all the way from NYC to eat here today. The food, location, and hospitality all lived up to the hype. We are only in Crete for a few days but will be coming back. This place is a national treasure.
I want to buy a cooking book, any suggestion?
Mark, I'm trying to find the video where you went to a secluded part of Greece/Cyprus/Turkey and ordered meat by the kilo. Do you know which video that was? Thank you 😀
Been there several times a couple years ago and going back to crere and this is one of the first spots we are going to. The snails are awesome. Nowy daughter wants snails whenever they are available.
You should include a map link. It is hard to search for
Mark , where in Creta is this farm? I've seen almost all of your videos, this was the best of all!
No wonder the animals are so jittery, they sense they are going to be dinner some day. 🙁
