about us
High Service for All Customer
Crete Island Restaurant is a family-run Greek restaurant inspired by the traditions of Crete and the recipes we grew up with. After running a restaurant in Greece, our family moved to the area and transformed an empty site in Wallisdown into a welcoming space, carrying out the work ourselves.
In the kitchen, Eleni and Pandi bring more than 25 years of experience, preparing traditional Greek dishes with care. We use extra virgin olive oil from small farms in Crete, fresh ingredients and simple methods that let the flavours speak for themselves. From handmade mezze such as saganaki and kolokithokeftedes to desserts prepared by our family, everything is made with attention and pride.
Since opening, we have been encouraged by the support from the local community and visitors. Above all, we remain a Greek family who believe food is best shared around the table.
Our Specialist Cuisine
Our specialist cuisine is centred on authentic Greek cooking, shaped by the traditions of Crete and generations of family recipes. We also embrace the wider
Mediterranean approach, using fresh ingredients, olive oil and simple preparation.
Our taverna style reflects relaxed Greek dining, where food is shared and enjoyed slowly.
Subtle Balkan influences appear in our grilled dishes, inspired by rustic, flame-cooked flavours from the region.
