Traditional Cretan Cusine

The dishes on the menu are made from fresh local products and include Sfakian specialties, local catches, various types of local meat and vegetarian dishes, accompanied by local open and other bottled Greek wines. Here you can try the famous Sfakian pie, fresh fish and natural local meat with the goat to make a difference

Since 1969, when it started as a cafe for a few years, the tavern is popular with both tourists and locals for its traditional atmosphere and excellent food. It is located right in the small port where you can watch the fishing boats as you eat.


Lefka Ori - Where the mountains meet the sea and flavors meet hospitality

Cretan Creative Cuisine

Here, in authentic Sfakia, where the mountains meet the sea, you’ll find our family tavern, Lefka Ori. With a view of the endless blue and the passion of three generations, we welcome you to a place where the tradition of Cretan hospitality lives and breathes every day.

Our cuisine is rooted in authentic Greek flavors with a strong Cretan character. We cook as our grandparents taught us: with pure local products, extra virgin olive oil from our own production, greens and vegetables from our garden, fresh fish, and meats from small local producers. Every dish is prepared with respect for tradition and love for good food.
