Chrisostomos is a long-established taverna on the eastern edge of Chania, beside the Venetian moat at Anatoliki Tafros and a short walk from the Koum Kapi seafront. The kitchen specialises in the cooking of Sfakia, the mountainous south-west of Crete, and much of the menu emerges from a wood-fired oven: slow-cooked lamb and goat, offal dishes, wild greens, snails and Sfakian pies. Ingredients are largely local and seasonal, and the wine list leans on Cretan producers. The dining room is plain and traditional rather than smart, with tables spilling onto the pavement in warm weather. The restaurant has been recognised repeatedly in the Greek Cuisine Awards. Booking is advisable in high summer.
