“ We had a great dinner at sunset at Babis&Popi. The food was great, the service was seazoned with Alexis' sense of humour and the lovely Greek music was inviting and at a decent intensity. It is very close to the beach, so you can hear the waves. The staff speaks English and German and they too, alone, deserve 5 stars. A must try when in Frangokastello. ”

“ Probably one the few places worth visiting in the area and the only one serving local “creative”dishes. The chef definitely k owns his craft and everything we tried was cooked at the appropriate temperatures and all dishes were balanced. I definitely recommend trying the fish of the day, the beetroot salad, the splendid octopus salad and the pork steak. ”
“ Was looking for a seafood place for the evening and someone at the beach this afternoon recommended I try Babis & Popi tavern in Frangokastello . A great family run restaurant with plenty of parking across the street made it easy to get the car parked . Upon arrival restaurant was packed , but the kind staff quickly assembled a table and brought it for me to the outside patio . Score ! Started with a ouzo since I wanted seafood this evening and moved on to review the menu . Many choices for appetizers and main entrees , so I asked my server his opinion. Octopus salad was the first recommendation as a starter appetizer . So fresh and light ! Something I had not tried before prepared like this . Usually octopus is grilled or lemon vinegar . This was perfectly seasoned and prepared with fresh herbs that brought the dish to life . Perhaps my favorite appetizer on the entire trip . Bravo guys ! For a main I wanted something fresh and not frozen … so I got recommended either the tuna or the swordfish. Both happen to be on the catch of the day on the menu . I opted for the swordfish and it was delicious. Well prepared and cooked perfectly , accompanied by a light yogurt sauce with olive oil and lemon and a grilled sweet pepper . Finally as is traditional in Crete , a raki and a watermelon were the ideal ending to a summer light seafood dinner . Great service - great food - great vibes . Will be back next time I’m in Crete. ”
“ Great food and amazing service. Prices are reasonable, the atmosphere and breeze are really nice, the Restaraunt is about 30 meters from the sea. We ordered a few appetizers and 2 main courses for 3 people, our fish was amazing and the pork belly also. The service was unbelievable, the waiter was knowledgeable, kind and responsive. I highly recommend this place to both families and couples. 10/10 ”
